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                             C 
Gave ?em hell in New York City, headed down to New Orleans 
G                               D 
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 
Across the snowline, man it was just in time 
                G              D                 G 
They diggin ?em out everywhere north of the Chesapeake 

        C                        G 
And I?m up too damn early in the morning 
C                                  G 
Watching the world around me come alive 
      C                    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 roads all soaking wet 
        G                            C 
We were happy just to all be there together 
              G                D                   C 
Stoned on the porch smoking on Nicky?s cigarettes 

               G                                C 
And 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 that is remembered in the end 
        G              D             G 
It is a debt that is a pleasure to repay 

       C                                  G 
And it never feels like we?re getting any older 
        C                            G 
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 
   C                      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, we begin our lives instead
 

        C                        G 
And I?m up too damn early in the morning 
           C                 G 
I can?t remmeber 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
