F#m
Put your money down
Take your choice
That's the way it is
Every time with these boys
And you sense no shame
And you feel no disgrace
Somebody wins
Somebody loses

Chorus:
        D      A    Bm
It's a dirty dirty race
D   A  E
Oh my life
       F#m
It's a dog's life

One empty Monday
Out of the blue
Took a good luck turn
Started something new
Out of the gutter
Out of the rain
Out of my head

Chorus:
And I'm feeling no pain
Oh my life feeling no pain
Take the strain
It's a dog's life

B
Ducking in the shadows
Diving in the dark
G
Rolling with the punches
Striking at the heart
B
Touching all the sense's
Breaking those taboos
G
Bursting at the seams
Blowing all my fuses
B
The turning of a page
The burning of a book
G
(If you're) talking out of turn
(It's) just the way you look

When the time is right
But the shape is wrong
And you find yourself
Where you don't belong
Back to reality
Back on the line

Chorus:
Back into this and you'll feel no pain
You want to do it one more time
We can do it once again
Oh my life
It's a dog's life
