[Verse 1]
C G
You've got an invalid haircut
C G
And it hurts when you smile
C G
You'd better get out of town
C G
Before your nickname expires
C G
It's the kingdom of the spiders
C G
It's the empire of the ants
C G
You need a permit to walk around downtown
C G
You need a license to dance
[Chorus]
Em7
Life'll kill ya
Cadd9 G
That's what I said
Em7
Life'll kill ya
Cadd9 G
Then you'll be dead
Em7
Life'll find ya
Cadd9
Wherever you go
G G/F# Em7
Requiescat in pace
Cadd9 G
That's all she wrote

C G
From the President of the United States
C G
To the lowliest rock and roll star
C Em
The doctor is in and he'll see you now
Am Bm C G
He don't care who you are
C G
Some get the awful, awful diseases
C G
Some get the knife, some get the gun
C G
Some get to die in their sleep
C G
At the age of a hundred and one
[Chorus]
Em7
Life'll kill ya
