[Intro]

G C G D C G


[Verse 1]
     
G                             C

By the looks of everyone it’s been a long two weeks
 G                           D

Coming up on the business end of a goodluck streak
G                                 G           C

Gave ‘em hell in New York City, headed down to New Orleans
G                  D             C

Drove across Mississippi in the rain



G                               C

It don’t seem to freeze too much down in New Orleans
G                          D

But the rain can sure wash out the street
G                          C

We crossed the snowline, man it was just in time
G              D                 G

They're diggin ‘em out everywhere north of the Chesapeake


[Chorus 1]

        C                        G

And I’m up too damn early in the morning
C                                  D

Watching the world around me come alive
      C           D         G                Em

And I need more fingers to count the ones I love
     C               D       G

This life may be too good to survive


[Verse 2]

     G                             C

They cancelled a parade or two for weather
    G                                        D

The kings and saints their robes all soaking wet
        G                            C

We were happy just to all be there together
              G                 D             C

Stoned on the porch smoking all Niki’s cigarettes

           G                                C

We’ve been riding down this highway now for all these years
G                               D

Breathing in the dust along the way
             G                                C

But it’s the kindness of a friend is what's remembered in the end
        G              D             G

It is a debt that is a pleasure to repay


[Chorus 2]

       C                                  G

And it never feels like we’re getting any older
        C                            D

But the memories build up around the eyes
      C         D              G             Em

And I need more fingers then I got on my two hands
     C               D          G

This life may be too good to survive


[Bridge]

                   Em             G

We were dressed to celebrate your wedding day
   D                      Em

We marched along with the St. Anne’s Parade
C                              G

Sang out our hearts while they sent away their dead
    C                               D

The sun shone on the river and we begin our lives instead


[Chorus 1]

        C                        G

And I’m up too damn early in the morning
              C                      D

But I can’t remeber ever feeling so alive
    C           D          G                Em

And I need more fingers to count the ones I love
     C               D       Em

This life may be too good to survive
     C               D       G        

This life may be too good to survive
