[Verse]
   C                                C
An early mid-life crisis looms, and for me to survive it
     Am                           Am
I'll find myself a motorbike, and learn how to ride it
     C                                       C
I'll stop out where the grass is dry and the hills are tall and black
    Am                                     Am
And sleep under the spotted veil, with the dirt against my ba-
       F        F               C
-ai-ai-ack, the dirt against my back

[Verse]
C                                    C
When the eastern sky is blue and the sparrows whisper low
Am                       Am
I will make my windy way across the desert slow
       C                          C
To the cities and oases that have sin and life and hope
    Am                                     Am
And find me a girl who looks like you, and dance and drink and smo-
   F    F                   C
-o-oke, dance and drink and smoke
C C

[Chorus]
F                                  C
Dance and drink and smoke with the dirt against my back
       Am                            G
In the din we laugh and hope for the future, present, past
F                             C
Rolling the dice, you come up sevens or snake eyes
       Am                        Em          F         C
At the end of the day, we'd have stayed that way if we could

  C                                 C
I wake up close to where I fell, my boots are in the fire
  Am                                Am
I rub my eyes and read the sky. The west is my desired
      F           G
destination? occupation?
    F      Fm
situation?    I don't know

[Chorus]
F                                  C
Dance and drink and smoke with the dirt against my back
       Am                            G
In the din we laugh and hope for the future, present, past
F                             C
Rolling the dice, you come up sevens or snake eyes
       Am                        Em          F   F
At the end of the day, we'd have stayed that way
       Am                        Em          F   F
At the end of the day, we'd have stayed that way
