[Intro]
E7 E7 C* E7 E7
E7 E7 C* E7 E7
E7 E7 C* E7 E7
E7 E7 C* E7 E7
 
[Verse 1]
E7 E7
You know I’m the kind of guy,
C* E7 E7
Who always took pride,
E7 E7
And looking good,
C* E7 E7
And that ain’t no lie,
E7 E7
I used to get dressed up,
C* E7 E7
To the nines,
E7 E7
Meeting pretty women,
C* E7 E7
And feeling real fine.
E7 E7
But now I’m gone that old,
C* E7 E7
Things ain’t like that at all,
E7 E7
My hair is thinnin’,
C* E7 E7
My face is starting to fall,
E7 E7
And I ain’t looking like,
C* E7 E7
I thought I would.
 
[Chorus]
E7 E7
And I’m working twice as hard,
C* E7 E7
To look half as good,
E7 E7 C* E7 E7
Oooh ooh ooh ooh,
E7 E7
Working twice as hard,
C* E7 E7
To look half as good,
E7 E7 C* E7 E7
Oooh ooh ooh ooh,
E7 E7
I’m working twice as hard,
C* E7 E7
To look half as good.
 
[Verse 2]
E7
You know I wake up in the morning,
E7 C* E7 E7
Check my mirror out,
E7 E7
But what’s looking back at me,
C* E7 E7
Gives me all kind of doubts,
E7 E7
Did I lock the door,
C* E7 E7
Before I went to sleep last night?
E7 E7
Or did a burglar get in?
C* E7 E7
You know something just ain’t right.
E7 E7
And then I remembered,
C* E7 E7
I’ve gotten that old,
E7 E7
That’s me I’m seeing,
C* E7 E7
What the hell, Bless my soul,
E7 E7
I sure ain’t lookin’,
C* E7 E7
Like I thought I would.
 
[Chorus]
E7 E7
And I’m working twice as hard,
C* E7 E7
To look half as good,
E7 E7 C* E7 E7
Oooh ooh ooh ooh,
E7 E7
Working twice as hard,
C* E7 E7
To look half as good,
E7 E7 C* E7 E7
Oooh ooh ooh ooh,
E7 E7
I’m working twice as hard,
C* E7 E7
To look half as good.

[Verse 3]
E7 E7
I’m noticing things,
C* E7 E7
I’d thought I’d never see,
E7 E7
I look at my pictures
C* E7 E7
And I think: Is that me?
E7 E7
My face is saggin’ and baggin’,
C* E7 E7
And my hair is getting thin,
E7 E7
I’m feelin’ no different,
C* E7 E7
Except the shape I’m in.
E7 E7
But I’m sure not lookin’ as hot,
C* E7 E7
As I thought I would,
 
[Chorus]
E7 E7
And I’m working twice as hard,
C* E7 E7
To look half as good,
E7 E7 C* E7 E7
Oooh ooh ooh ooh,
E7 E7
Working twice as hard,
C* E7 E7
To look half as good,
E7 E7 C* E7 E7
Oooh ooh ooh ooh,
E7 E7
I’m working twice as hard,
C* E7 E7
To look half as good.
 
[Verse 4]
E7 E7
You know I thought about getting me,
C* E7 E7
A little nip and tuck,
E7 E7
When the guy gave me the price,
C* E7 E7
I thought: What the . . .,
E7 E7
I’ve seen low tax liberties,
C* E7 E7
Plastic surgery styles,
E7 E7
Come out looking like,
C* E7 E7
Men from Mars,
E7 E7
Boy, I think about,
C* E7 E7
All the good times I had,
E7 E7
Now looking in my mirror,
C* E7 E7
Makes me feel real bad.
E7 E7
‘Cause I ain’t lookin’,
C* E7 E7
Like I think I should,
 
[Chorus]
E7 E7
And I’m working twice as hard,
C* E7 E7
To look half as good,
E7 E7 C* E7 E7
Oooh ooh ooh ooh,
E7 E7
Working twice as hard,
C* E7 E7
To look half as good,
E7 E7 C* E7 E7
Oooh ooh ooh ooh,
E7 E7
I’m working twice as hard,
C* E7 E7
To look half as good,
E7 E7 C* E7 E7
Oooh ooh ooh ooh,
E7 E7
I’m working twice as hard,
C* E7 E7
To look half as good.
