The Good Life Lyrics

Sent: Thursday, January 01, 1998 2:52 AM
This is the acoustic version of The Good Life by Weezer. Chord names are
listed above the tabs. I tried to get the timing on the lyrics, which
came pretty close, but if the didn't the chords will give youa a general
idea of how to play it. Play of the intros 4 times at the beginning
of the song. They both sound good, but the second one is a little
easier to play. Have fun!
INTRO:
--0----0-0------1-- REPEAT X4 OR --4---4-4-----0-----
VERSE:
When I look in the mir- ror
Can't beleive what i see Tell me who's that funky dude
Sta-ring back at me
PRE-CHORUS:
Broke-and-beat-and-down Can't even get a-round
Without an old man cane I'd fall-and-hit the ground
Shiveri'n-in-the-cold I'm bitter and aloo-ooone
REPEAT INTRO x2
REPEAT VERSE x1 (with these lyrics)
Excuse the bitchin'--I shouldn't complain
I should have no feelings, cuz' feeling is pain
REAPEAT PRE-CHORUS x1 (with these lyrics)
As everything I need is denied me
And everything I want is taken away from me
But who do I got to blame, nobody but me.......
CHORUS:
-2----2-2----2-2---2--2---0--0---o---0---2--------------------
And i don't wanna be an old man any-more
It's been-a-year-or-two since I was out on the floor
Shakin'-booty-makin' sweet love all the night
It's time I got back to the good life
It's time I got back, It's time I got back
And I don't even know how i got off the track
I wanna go back.....yeah!
REPEAT INTRO x4
REPEAT VERSE x1 (with these lyrics)
Screw this crap I've had it! (I had it!) I ain't no Mr. Cool
I'm a pig I'm a dog, so 'scuse me if I drool
REPEAT PRE-CHORUS x1 (with these lyrics)
I ain't gonna hurt nobody, ain't gonna cause a seen
Just need to admit I want sugar in my tea
(Hear me!) Hear me I want sugar in my tea
REPEAT CHORUS x1
BRIDGE: i'll have to get back to you on that
SLOW CHORUS: (gradually speeding up)
I wanna go back I wanna go back
And I don't even know how I got off the track
It's time I got back, It's time I got back
And I don't even know how I got off the track
-0--0-0--0-0-1-1--1--1-1--1-1-1--3-(stop)--------------------
I wanna go back.....yeah!
REPEAT CHORUS x1
OUTRO: (E)
(I wanna go back) I wanna go baaaack
I couldn't figure out the solo or the bridge this a very accurate tab
of the rest of the song. Feel free to e-mail me with comments, questions,

LONG LIVE WEEZER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
