C                              F 
It's cold out this mornin it's rainin it's pourin 
   C                      F                       G    C     F  C  F  C 
My back's actin up but so what, I'm alive and I'm breathin' 
C                              F 
My baby's still mad from that fight that we had 
         C                       F                     G  C      F  C 
But her stomping around in the kitchen sure beats her leavin 
 
CHORUS  
          F          G   C 
I'm doin better than I deserve 
        F        C                 G              C 
I guess I could complain, oh but things could be worse 
        Am                             Em                       C 
There's a lot of folks out there with a lot of good reasons to curse 
                  F                 G              C 
But all things considered I'm doin better than I deserve 
 
Well maybe someday all the debt'll be paid off 
I've have all i want, but for now, hey I don't mind dreamin' 
'Cause I got what I need got this house with some trees in the yard 
I got kids and wife and a life I believe in 
 
CHORUS 
 
  
 
CHORUS 2  
I'm doin better than I deserve 
The wolf ain't at my door and I ain't out of work 
No matter how bad it gets someone somewhere's got it worse 
All things considered I'm doin better than I deserve 
 
It's cold out this mornin it's rainin it's pourin 
My back's actin up but guess what, I'm alive and I'm breathin
