Merle Haggard & Don Henley.
Album: Cass County.
Intro: F# B Bmaj7 B C#
F#
Some folks don't like working hard, some folks don't like rain,
F# C# F# C#
Some folks love to tell you, all about their aches and pains,
F# B
Me, I take the hand I'm dealt and I play it as it lays,
B F# C# F# C#
It's the cost of living and everyone pays.
F# Bmaj7 F#
You can't live in memories of all your golden yesterdays,
F# Bbm7 F#/A# C#
Or spend your whole life grieving for the one that got away,
F# F#/A# B
Common sense says "let her go" but your heart disobeys,
F# C# F#
It's the cost of living, and everyone pays.
B F#
Blue shadows falling all around me,
Ebm Ab7 Ebm C#
Still I don't regret a single day.
Break: F# F#7 B F# Bmaj7 F# C# C#6 F#
F#
I look in the mirror now, I see that time can be unkind,
F# C# C#7
But I know every wrinkle and I earned every line,
F# B
So, wear it like a royal crown when you get old and gray,
F# C# F# B
It's the cost of living and everyone pays,
F# C# Bmaj7 F# Bmaj7 C# C#7 F#
It's the cost of living and everyone pays.
