[G] I am not the type of dog [C#] that could [C] keep you waiting
[G] For no good reason
Run [C#] a carbon black test [C] on my jaw
[G] And you will find
[C#] It's all been [C] said before
[G]
I can swing my [C#] megaphone
[G] And long arm [Gm] the rest
And it's [E] easier and better to just be there [C] from the chest
But desire, [G] I could walk into [C#] this room
[G] And [A] [G] the waves of [C] conversation
[G] Are enough to knock you down [C#] with [C] the undertow
[G] So,
[C#]
[G] so
[Gm] My life, [A] [C] feed [G] me banks of light
[C#] And [G] hang your hair shirt on your lowest rung
It's a beautiful life
And I can hang my hair [C] shirt
[G] Way up high in the attic of the [C#] wrong dog's [C] life chest
[G] And bury it at sea
I [C] [G] have searched for [Gm] this
[C] Here [G] I am
[C#] Here [C] I am
[G]
Your [C#] life,
[C] [G] it's a beautiful life
[C#] My
[C] life, [G] it's a beautiful life [C#] Your [C] life
[G] [Gm] [Em]
