[G]Waitress in a pink dress, works before the sun's up
[G]Barely pays the rent, pouring coffee into [Am]coffee cups
To wake the truck [G]drivers up
Then [G]out on the interstate. he's out in a traffic grind
[G]Got to keep the rig safe cause he's got a family to [Am]keep in mind
And man that's the [D]bottom line
Chorus:
Getting [C]by making the [G]ends meet
Do what it [D]takes to stay on [G]their feet
Not gonna [C]give up, not gonna [G]give in
Making a [D]life, not just a [Em]living
Making a [D]life, not just a [G]living
In an office building downtown, he's wearing a suit and tie
He could make more money if he wasn't such an honest guy
But some things money can't buy
In a flower shop downstairs, she'll close it up early today
She might lose some business but there's no price she wouldn't pay
To see her daughter's part in the play
Chorus
And the [B]flowers on the dashboard are hangin' [Em]low
Life's [B]burning like a flashbulb but dying [Em]slow - dying [A]slow
Chorus
