[Verse 1]
C
I tried to tell myself, but I don’t wanna hear it
F G
Seems like nowadays somebody's always gotta clear it
C F G
Gimme the okay, the rubber stamp, the thumbs up, the green light; never sang a song I never liked
C F G
But you ain't gonna listen if I'm afraid to say it and you won't tap your feet if I'm afraid to play it
C F
And if I can't be real, well I promise I'll fake it, besides half of ya are gonna love it
G
And the other half is gonna hate it
C F G
But is that the country we live in or what. . . Don't answer that
[Verse 2]
C F G
Reach for the rafters, swing for the fences, your comin' down the home stretch, you bring 'em to their senses
C F G
If at first you don't succeed, well you get the gist; never there, never in, you never get kissed
C
Step on the gas; kick some ass, up the mountain through the pass.
F G
I've met a lot of nice guys who didn't finish last.
C F G
But you ain't gonna listen if I'm afraid to say it and you won't tap your feet if I'm afraid to play it
C
And if I can't be real, hell I promise I'll fake it
F G
Besides half of ya are gonna love it and the other half is gonna flat out hate it
C F G
But is that the country we live in or what?
[Chorus]
F C F C F C E7 Am
Cie la vie, dossie do and do re mi, I'm overcome and overwhelmed and just a little short of confidence
F G C F G
But, Orville Wright didn't have no pilot's license . . . think about that
[Verse 3]
C F G
The show must go on, so on with the show; once upon a time and long, long ago
C
Begin at the beginning if you don't know where to start
F G
You know somethin' about a horse and somethin' about a cart
C F G
Give me a high five, down low, not bad, good to go. Hike up your skirt and look out below
C F G
Cause you ain't gonna listen if I'm afraid to say it and you won't tap your feet if I'm afraid to play it
C
And if I can't be real, hell I promise I'll fake it
F G
Besides half of ya are gonna love it and the other half are gonna absolutely hate it
C F G
But is that the country we find ourselves livin' in at this very moment or what. . . Don't answer that
[Chorus]
F C F C F C E7 Am
Cie la vie, dossie do and do re mi, I'm overcome and overwhelmed and just a little short of confidence

Well I'm God forsaken and I'm well passed my prime
G F C
And this old heart's achin', remember the time?
F C
I'm ripe for the takin' and I'm bettin' my last dime
F G
Can't be a criminal if don't commit the crime
[Verse 4]
C F G
Well you can count your chickens before they're hatched; you can start a fire without a match
C F G
They haven't even thrown it yet, you can still make the catch; you just gotta get your glove up
C F G
You can still sing along if you don't know the song, you can still stick around once everybody’s gone
C F G
You can be absolutely right when you’re absolutely wrong, and in this country, we'll elect ya President
And I still can't believe that
[Chorus]
