VERSE:
E E5 - E
Sally came home today
E E5 - E
Didn't have a whole lot to say
A A7 A A7
Just thumbed the same jewel around her neck
E - E5 - E
Took a drag off her cigarette
VERSE 2 (same as above)
Gary's still stuck at work
Spilled a green juice on his shirt
Steps outside for a little air
Half listens to whoever's standing there
CHORUS:
A E
Half a glass of wine, and half a cigarette
A
Half the truth, and see how far you get
B
For all of that struggle, and all of that strife
A E - E5 - E
And your consolation prize, half life (half life)
VERSE 3:
Sally gets herself into bed
Takes half a pill to quiet her head
Watches a little TV, and drifts off
In half asleep
CHORUS
Half a husband, and half a car
Going half the distance, not getting very far
Half mother, half wife
And your consolation prize, half life (half life)
VERSE 4:
Gary gets home after dark
Sits awhile with his car in park
Just daydreaming, smoking a little green
CHORUS:
Half the time a dad, half the time at work
Half the time worrying, exactly what his soul is worth
For all of that struggle, and all of that strife
Your consolation prize, half life (half life)
A E
Half baked plans, and half-hearted dreams
A E
Half the time wondering, exactly what it means
B
You hurry, going nowhere
F#
Time cuts you like a knife
A
And your consolation prize, oh
E
Half life (half life, half life)
E
Sally came home today
