Eb
They say life begins at forty
       Ab
Age is just a state of mind
   Bb
If all that's true, you know that I've
                     Eb
Been dead for thirty-nine

[Verse 2]
       Eb
And if life begins at forty
        Ab
Well, I hope it ain't the same
          Bb
It's been tough enough without that stuff
                       Eb
I don't wanna be born again

[Verse 3]
        Eb
Well, I tried to sweep the slate clean
       Ab
With a new broom every day
   Bb
If that don't work, I'll jerk around
                   Eb
Until my next birthday

[Verse 4]
      Eb
Yeah, life begins at forty
       Ab
Age is just a state of mind
         Bb
Well, if all that's true, you know that I've
                     Eb
Been dead for thirty-nine
