Verse:
Em
You wake to grab your shovel
Dm
See your breath it's made of tar

It's a subzero archaeological dig to find that artifact of a
car

It's a 199 Corolla with a busted left tail light

But you're always reminded the oil one works right

All the hot young things they don't age like wine
F G
I'm on the bad side of
F C
I'm on the bad side of
Verse:
G
So you swivel out the driveway
Dm
Of this tundra you call home
Em F
And bumper car your way on back to work

It's a place you hate to know so well

And yet feel so unknown

So you hula the snow off your parka all alone

What I've seen might air supply your hard rock spine

Verse:
Em
Some people fade like evening
Dm
Some just never go away

But there's simply no place safer
Dm
Than the bank the day after the robbery
Em
So you wake to grab the paper
Dm
Sip your coffee too much grind
G
You don't so much mind the aging
Dm
You just mind the getting wise
Bridge:
C
Mix two parts jack with two bloodshot eyes
Am G Am
And you still feel cheated when your buzz subsides
F G Am
Put your poor old parents through some sleepless nights
F G Am
Still on the good side
F
Still on the good side
Chorus:
C
How old will I be when I try to freeze time
Am G Am
And my age degrades into a well worn lie

She looks 1 between you and I

I'm on the bad side of

My line til I slide by 3
F C
Make that the bad side of

I'm on the bad side of

If you remember the Super Bowl shuffle don't sing it

I'm on the bad side of
