Lately I'm feeling lousy all the time 
  E                                            B 
I picked up a pen sat down tried to figure out why 
A 
I had it whittled down to a page or two 
        E                  A 
And the paper trail led me straight to you 
  E                           B                      E  B  A  E 
I see life's too short to put up with the things you do 
E                   B               A     E     B  A  E 
Spell you cast been messing with my sanity 
E                                                B 
Call me now baby while you stickin' them pins in me 
A 
But I figure if I'm finally over you 
        E                           A 
Cause I see right through that 'DOO 'doo you do 
E                                B                     E 
When life's too short to be involved with a witch like you 
A 
Life's too short to get in a rut 
E 
Life's too short to get a bad haircut 
B 
Life's too short to be this long 
E 
Life's too short to admit that you're wrong 
A 
Life's too short to wear tight shoes 
E                      A  G 
Life's too short to be blue 
E                        B             A         E    B A E 
Life's too short to be involved with a girl like you 
 
When I walk out I'll be free as a man can be 
As funky as a monkey swinging high in the jungle tree 
And if that lion asks for you or the monkey asks or the elephant too 
I'll send you back home there caged up in your zoo 
 
Life's too short for cheap guitars 
Life's too short to smoke cheap cigars 
Get your kicks from dead beat chicks 
For chewing gum down at the end of the bar 
Life's too short for steamship cruise 
Life's too short to be blue 
Life's too short to be involved with someone like you 
 
Yeah, life's too short to brush and floss 
Life's too short to sleep with the boss 
Six way lights or disco bars 
Or trying to pick up chicks in a compact car 
Life's too short for a bad tattoo 
Life's too short to be blue 
Life's too short to be involved with a girl like you 
Yeah, life's too short to be involved with someone like you 
Yeah, life's too short to be involved with someone like you
