verse 1: 
G                                             Cmaj7       G        
Some folks don’t like working hard, some folks don’t like rain 
G                                Dsus4                  D    
Some folks love to tell you all about their aches and pains 
G                                            G/B    C     
Me, I take the hand I’m dealt, and I play it as it lays 
                  G    D               G         Cmaj7  D 
It’s the cost of living, and everyone pays 

verse 2: 
G                                    Cmaj7          G      
You can live in memories of all your golden yesterdays 
G                         G/B            Dsus4          D        
Or spend your whole life grieving for the one that got away 
G                                            G/B   C     
Common sense says let her go, but your heart disobeys 
                   G   D               G       G/A - G/B

Blue shadows falling all around me,    still I don’t regret a single day

verse 3: 
G                                    Cmaj7   G         
I look in the mirror now, I see the time can be unkind 
G                           Dsus4             D       
But I know every wrinkle, and I earned every line 
G                                           G/B      C     
So wear it like a royal crown, when you get old and grey 
                   G    D              G       G/A - G/B 
It’s the cost of living, and everyone pays 
C                  G    D            Cmaj7     G      Cmaj7  D      G 
It’s the cost of living, and everyone pays
