Loudon Wainwright III - Double Lifetime chords
Start Jamming...
[E] [G]
I want a double lifetime, I want to start over.
[C] One lifetime's not enough, I need another [D] 64 years on a practice run.
[C] Practice makes perfect, I'm about half done.
[D] I want a double [G] lifetime.
I want a double lifetime, I don't want to snuff it.
[C] Three score and ten just ain't enough.
It [D] feels like I finally got it all figured out.
[C] Almost free from the shame and the doubt, I [G] want a double lifetime.
[D] Yeah, a lot more time, that's what I [C] need.
I can make my move, I can do the [A] deed.
I know I'm greedy, but what do I [D] care?
For the afterlife, I don't [G] want to go [D] there.
[G] I want a double lifetime, man, I [C] deserve it.
I want it so bad, I even [G] got the [D] nerve.
It's gonna take to get down on my bended [C] knees.
Beg and pray, it's ain't pretty, [G] please give me a double lifetime.
Let's play it, Jack.
[C]
[G] [D] [C]
[G] I want a double lifetime, I wasted my first [C] one the first time around.
That's always [G] the worst [D] one, you don't know what you're doing and you just can't wait.
[C] You go ahead and do it and then it's [G] too late.
You need a double lifetime.
I want a double life, public and private.
I [C] want to lead it again, I'm not gonna [G] deny it.
[D] I'm just like you, it's true, you know.
[C] Ask yourself, are you ready to [G] go?
You want a double lifetime.
Yeah, [D] a little more time, cause you know I never
[C] want to keep living forever and ever.
[A] I know it sounds funny and the truth be told, [D] but 120 don't seem that old.
[G] I want a double lifetime, not gonna get [C] it, but if a miracle happens,
you know I'm gonna [D] let it if I eat enough yogurt.
Maybe I [C] might, and the second time around I'm gonna get it [G] right.
Give me a double lifetime.
