The Cost of Living Lyrics
by Don Henley
INTRO: Gb Bmaj7 Bmaj7 Dbsus4 Db
VERSE 1:
Some folks don't like working hard, some folks don't like rain
Some folks love to tell you all about their aches and pains
Me, I take the hand I'm dealt, and I play it as it lays
aj7
It's the cost of living, and everyone pays
VERSE 2:
You can live in memories of all your golden yesterdays
Or spend your whole life grieving for the one that got away
Common sense says let her go, but your heart disobeys
It's the cost of living, and everyone pays
BRIDGE:
Blue shadows falling all around me, still I don't regret a single day
INSTRUMENTAL: Gb Gb7 Gb7/Bb B Gb Db Gb
VERSE 3:
I look in the mirror now, I see the time can be unkind
But I know every wrinkle, and I earned every line
So wear it like a royal crown, when you get old and grey
It's the cost of living, and everyone pays
aj7
It's the cost of living, and everyone pays
