[Verse 1]
C
I tried to tell myself, but I don’t wanna hear it
F G
Seems like nowadays somebody's always gotta clear it
C F
Gimme the okay, the rubber stamp, the thumbs up, the green light; never sang a
G
song I never liked
C F
But you ain't gonna listen if I'm afraid to say it and you won't tap your feet if
G
I'm afraid to play it
C F
And if I can't be real, well I promise I'll fake it, besides half of ya are gonna
love it
G
And the other half is gonna hate it
C F G
But is that the country we live in or what. . . Don't answer that
[Verse 2]
C F
Reach for the rafters, swing for the fences, your comin' down the home stretch,
G
you bring 'em to their senses
C F
If at first you don't succeed, well you get the gist; never there, never in, you
G
never get kissed
C
Step on the gas; kick some ass, up the mountain through the pass.
F G
I've met a lot of nice guys who didn't finish last.
C F
But you ain't gonna listen if I'm afraid to say it and you won't tap your feet if
G
I'm afraid to play it
C
And if I can't be real, hell I promise I'll fake it

Besides half of ya are gonna love it and the other half is gonna flat out hate it

Cie la vie, dossie do and do re mi, I'm overcome and overwhelmed and just a
E7 Am
little short of confidence

[Verse 3]
C F G
The show must go on, so on with the show; once upon a time and long, long ago
C
Begin at the beginning if you don't know where to start
F G
You know somethin' about a horse and somethin' about a cart
C F G
Give me a high five, down low, not bad, good to go. Hike up your skirt and look
out below
C F
Cause you ain't gonna listen if I'm afraid to say it and you won't tap your feet
G
if I'm afraid to play it
C
And if I can't be real, hell I promise I'll fake it
F G
Besides half of ya are gonna love it and the other half are gonna absolutely hate
it
C F G
But is that the country we find ourselves livin' in at this very moment or what.
. . Don't answer that
[Chorus]
F C F C F C
Cie la vie, dossie do and do re mi, I'm overcome and overwhelmed and just a
E7 Am
little short of confidence

[Bridge]
G F C
Well I'm God forsaken and I'm well passed my prime
G F C
And this old heart's achin', remember the time?
F C
I'm ripe for the takin' and I'm bettin' my last dime
F G
Can't be a criminal if don't commit the crime
[Verse 4]
C F
Well you can count your chickens before they're hatched; you can start a fire
G
without a match
C F
They haven't even thrown it yet, you can still make the catch; you just gotta get
G
your glove up
C F
You can still sing along if you don't know the song, you can still stick around
G
once everybody’s gone
C
You can be absolutely right when you’re absolutely wrong, and in this country,
F G
we'll elect ya President
And I still can't believe that
[Chorus]

Cie la vie, dossie do and do re mi, I'm overcome and overwhelmed and just a
E7 Am
little short of confidence

But, Orville Wright didn't have no pilot's license . . . Orville Wright didn't
G C F

G C
Correct me if I'm wrong
