Practice Life

[Intro: ]C     F  
       C     F       
        (oh yeah) 
C                           F C                              F 
She said she didn't love him, and maybe she never really did 
C                                 F C 
She could move back to her momma's, and they could split time with the kids 
F                      G 
She just noticed, her first touch of grey 
     F                       G 
She don't want to wait, not one more day 
 

               C           G F 
This ain't no practice life 
         C          G F 
We only get one shot 
                    C         G F 
And our love ain't throw aw---ay 
      G            F 
It's all we've go---t 
    Am                   G 
And nobody goes around twice 
                      C             F 
'Cause this ain't no practice life 
 
 
C                                   F C                            F 
There's sixty hours on his time card, and it's only Thursday night 
C                                  F C 
His kids are growin' up without him, and he's about to lose his wife 
      F                              G 
So he puts down the papers, and he picks up the phone 
            F                   G 
And says, "Son tell your momma, I'm a'comin' home" 
 
 
CHORUS 
 
 
Instrumental: F  G  F  G 
 
 
Am                 G 
So much to do with so little time 
      F                          G 
That clock on the wall is gonna rob us all blind 
 
 
CHORUS (twice) 
 
               C             F 
This ain't no practice life 
                  C            F 
Hey it ain't no practice life 
 
Outro: C   F
