Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][A][G]

[Verse 1]
Couple of guys [G]sittin'
'round drinkin'
Down at the Starlight Bar
One of 'em says,
"You know I've been thinkin'"
Other one says,
"That [E]won't get you too far"
[F#m]He says,

[Verse 2]
"This [G]is your life,
and welcome to it
It's just workin'
and drinkin' and dreams
Ad on TV says, 'Just Do It'
Hell if I know what that means"

[Verse 3]
[D]The secret of life is a good
cup of coffee
[Bm]The secret of life is keep your
eye on the ball
[G]The secret of life is a beautiful woman
[Asus4]Marilyn stares down from[A] the
barroom [G]wall

[Verse 4]
"You and me, [G]we're just
a couple of zeros
Just a couple of down-and-outs
But But But movie stars
and football heroes
What have they got to be [E]un [Esus4]happy abo[E]ut,
[F#m]yeah?"
So they [G]turn to the bartender,

[Verse 5]
[G]
"Sam, what do you think?
What's the key that unlocks that door?"
Sam don't say nothin',
just wipes off the bar
And he pours them a couple more

[Verse 6]
'Cause [D]the secret of life is
in Sam's martinis
[Bm]The secret of life is in
Marilyn's eyes
[G]The secret of life is in Monday
Night Football

[D]apple pies

[Interlude 1]
[D][Bm][G]
[Asus4][A]

Says, "Boys,

The secret of life is there
ain't no secret
And you don't get your money back"
Hey

[D]The secret of life is gettin' up early
[Bm]The secret of life is stayin' up late
[G]The secret of life is try not to hurry
[Asus4]But don't wait

[Verse 9]
[D]The secret of life is a good
cup of coffee
[Bm]The secret of life is keep your
