Dear Lily, can you save me
From the borrowed cloud I'm on
All you gotta do is try
Pray you'll just get by
Hey wait, I thought you made it out
Your bottle cryin' for love
Tell me how'd you get so tired
Faded down to the wire

* Try livin' a lie
Kickin' out the same old guy
Wastin' time

So very ordinary
Wait until my bam goes up
See the actors run and hide
Fake it all in stride
One day we all can say we're gone
And walk the ground before
Everything so open wide

Here within we cried

(* Repeat)

** Ain't it the life
Ain't it the life
Ain't it the life, got no cry
Just sail on by, sail on by

(** Repeat)

Ain't it the life
Just sail on by

(* Repeat)
(** Repeat 2 times)

Ain't it the life
Ain't it the life
