[Verse 1]
Dear Haley, can you save me
From the borrowed cloud I'm on?
All you gotta do is try
Pray you're just gettin' by
Hey, wait, I thought you'd made it
How'd your bottled crown fall off?
Tell me, how'd you get so tired?
Faded down to the wire?

[Pre-Chorus]
Try livin' a lie and kickin' out
The same old guise
Wastin' time

[Verse 2]
So very ordinary
Wait until my bomb goes off
See the actors run and hide?
Fake it all in stride?
One day, we all can say we're gone
And haunt the ground we're from
Everything's so open wide
Here, within the divide

[Pre-Chorus]
Try livin' a lie and kickin' out
The same old guise
Wastin' time
[Chorus]
Ain't it the life? Ain't it the life?
Ain't it the life? Got no crime
Just sail on by, sail on by
Ain't it the life? Ain't it the life?
Ain't it the life? Got no crime
Just sail on by, sail on by
Ain't it the life?

[Post-Chorus]
Just sail on by

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
Try livin' a lie and kickin' out
The same old guise
Wastin' time

[Chorus]
Ain't it the life? Ain't it the life?
Ain't it the life? Got no crime
Just sail on by, sail on by
Ain't it the life? Ain't it the life?
Ain't it the life? Got no crime
Just sail on by, sail on by
Ain't it the life?
Ain't it the life?
