Lyrics
Intro riffA run downG D G DA boogie A
Life's Little aggravations Are vexatious to the spirit A bgyA bgy
But like the grit in an oyster They can lead you to a pearl G1/4D 8ths
Even minor approbationCan push you to the limit A bgyA bgy
But without a little chiding It's too easy in the world G1/4D 8ths
We can sink into indolenceAnd self satisfaction F#m ^GF#m^G
If we stay within our comfort zone DbgyA bgy
Or we can rail at restriction and push out the boundariesF#m ^GF#m^G
And find that our spirit has grown BmA stop and into riff
So for every problem, seize the opportunity to
change
For every setback there's a chance for you to
Rearrange your life
Certainty s a prison and at times you must break
Free
At times you need excision If you hope to be all you can
Beall you can be
What's it all forIf not to stretch andBmBm

Whos counting scoreWhen there's so muchBmBm
left out there, so much more to knowAG A A riff
Life's Little aggravations Are vexatious to the spirit A bgyA bgy
But like the grit in an oyster They can lead you to a pearl G1/4D 8ths
If your lifes to placidthen it takes a little acid* A bgyA bgy
To keep you from stagnating in a very boring world G1/4D 8ths
People may frown and talk of settling down
Telling you to act your age
But nothing should perturb ya like brain death in suburbia
Its never too late for you to turn that page
Riff then coda
Never too late to turn that pageAD longD stop
