D
My ship came in and she sunk it,
G
I was the toast of the town and she drunk it,
D G
I had a run of good luck and she ran it right into the ground.
D A D
And now she’s putting on shows where I get to play the clown.
I had the wind in my sails and she took it,
I had the world by the tail and she shook it,
I reached out for a life line and she threw me a noose,
I got the shortend of the chicken she got the golden goose.
[CHORUS]
G D
She’s living it up and trying to live it down,
E A
Just when I got it all together it all about to come unwound
G D G
Everybody laughing behind my back ha-ha, sure is a sad old sound
D A D
She’s out there living it up and I’m trying to live it down
I had my ducks in a row and she shot them
I had my eggs in a basket she dropped them
I threw her out of the house but she was back like a boomerang
Sometimes you get the honey sometimes all you get is the sting
[CHORUS]
She’s living it up and trying to live it down,
Just when I got it all together it all about to come unplanned
Everybody laughing behind my back ha-ha, sure is a sad old sound
She’s out there living it up and trying to live it down
She’s living it up and I'm trying to live it down
She’s living it up and I may never live it down
My ship came in and she sunk it,
G
I was the toast of the town and she drunk it,
D G
I had a run of good luck and she ran it right into the ground.

And now she’s putting on shows where I get to play the clown.

She’s living it up and I'm trying to live it down
She’s living it up and I may never live it down
