Verse
[E]It’s like I’m sitting at a bus stop
[B]waiting for a train
[A]Exactly how I got here
[B]is hard to explain
[E]My heart’s in the right place
[B]what’s left of it I guess
[A]My heart ain’t the problem
[B]it’s my mind that’s a total mess
[E]With these rickety old legs
[B]and these watery eyes
[A]It’s hard to believe
[B]that I could pass for anybody’s prize
[E]And here’s what I know about
[B]the gifts that God gave
[A]You can’t take em with you
[B]when you go to the grave
Chorus
[E]It’ aint over yet [C#m]ask someone who ought to know
[A]not so very long ago we were [B]both hung out to dry
[E]It’ aint over yet [C#m]you can mark my words don’t
[A]care what you think you heard we’re[B] still learning how to fly
[E]It’ aint over yet
Verse
[E]For fools like me
[B]who were built for the chase
[A]It takes the right kind of woman
[B]to help you put it all in place
[E]It only happened once in my life
[B]but man you should have seen
[A]Her hair two shades of fox tail red
[B]her eyes some far out sea blue green
[E]I got caught up making a name for myself
[B]you know what that’s about
[A]One day your ship comes rolling in
[B]the next day it just rolls back out
[E]And you can’t take for granted
[B]none of this shit
[A]The higher up yOu fly boys
[B]the harder it is you’re gonna get hit
Chorus
[E]It’ aint over yet [C#m]I’ll say this about that
[A]you can get up off the mat [B]or you can lay there til you die
[E]It’ aint over yet [C#m]here’s the truth my friend
[A]you can’t pack it in [B]and we both know why
[E]It’ aint over yet
Bridge
[C#m]Silly boys [A]blind to get there first think of
[E]second chances as some[B] kind of curse
[C#m]I’ve known [A]you for ever and ever it’s true if
[E]you came by it easy you[B] wouldn’t be you
[C#m]You Make me[A] laugh you [E]make me cry you make[B] me forget myself
Verse
[E]Back when down on my luck
[B]kept me up for days
[A]You were there with the right words
[B]to help me cralw out of the maze
[E]When I’d almost convinced myself
[B]I was hipper than thou
[A]You stepped up with a warning shot
[B]fired sweet and low across the bow
[A]And you don’t walk on water
[B]and your sarcasm stings
[E]But the way you move through this old world
[B]sure makes a case of angel wings
[A]And I was half way to the bottom
[B]when you threw me that line
[E]And I’ll quote you now verbatim
[B]Get your head out of your own behind
[A]It’ aint over yet what you wanna bet
[B]one more cigarette aint gonna send you to the grave
[E]It’ aint over yet I seen your new girlfriend
[B]thinks you’re the living end big old sparkle in her eye
[E]It’ aint over yet
