I get to the party, but I'm too late

I listen to country and everybody goes rock
F C F C
I get to the dance floor, that's when the music stops
Pre-Chorus
----------

It doesn't matter what I do, I just can't seem to win
C G
But here I go again
And I say
Chorus
------
C F
Hey that's the story of my life
G F
I had a good plan but it didn't go right
C F
Oh no I'm overdrawn
G F
I check my account and the money's all gone

Why me I don't know what to think

I finally get aboard and the whole boat sinks
C F G F
Seems to be the story of my life
Intro
Verse 2
-------

It doesn't matter what I try, it all ends up the same
C G
And here I go again

I finally get aboard and the whole boat sinks
