How old are you?
I'm 32 and I have to lose 20 pounds
to be attracted to the kind
of person I want.
This is the year I'm going to do it.
Have you ever promised
yourself that before?
How did you know?
I've been on and off diet
since I was 18.
So you've been making and breaking
the same resolution
for more than a decade?
Well, if you want to put it that way...
Let's face facts.
Your approach doesn't
seem to be working.
Dm
No matter how hard you
struggle and strive
You never get out of those
shoes alive
Am
Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide
All you're gonna get is
a ticket to Ryder

Am
How old are you?
I'm 47 years old
And I still don't know
how to assert myself
And get what I want
I just never learned to be aggressive
You can get ahead by cooperating
as well as by competing.
The hell you can't.
It's a jungle out there.
Kill would be killed.
Lack of assertiveness can
be a problem.
It does not seem to be yours.
Don't question good vibes.
I know what my problem is.
I've had it my whole life.
I understand perfectly.
Dm
No matter how hard you
struggle and strive
You'll never get out of
those shoes alive.

Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide

How old are you?
I'm 23 years old
and all my friends tell me I'm talented
I wanna be a really big
television recording star
Do you go out on auditions?
How can I?
Who's gonna look after my kid?
Can you hire a mother's helper?
I can't afford it.
How about a relative or a neighbor?
Oh, I just wouldn't feel right asking.
Perhaps you expect a producer
to drive up in a limousine
and discover you at the local drugstore.
Well, it has happened, you know.
Frankly, my dear,
this is nothing but fantasy.
Dm
No matter how hard you
struggle and strive,
you'll never get out of those shoes alive.
Am
You know where to run to,
know where to hide.
All you're gonna get is a ticket to ride.

how old are you?
Your birthday is the natural time
to take a good look at yourself,
be ruthlessly honest.
Are you a person who gets things done,
or a procrastinator?
Can you control your habits?
Do you see yourself objectively,
or do you require admittance?
If you think you're fooling anyone,
you're only fooling yourself.
Now, sir, how old did you say you are today?
I just turned 40.
And for the last few months,
it feels like it's all over.
So my life has already passed me by.
It feels like I'm dying.
That's right. You are dying.
What do you mean by that?
The fact is, even as we talk,
your lifetime is slipping away.
More of your life is behind you,
and that means less is ahead of you.
That's a pretty depressing way
to wish a guy a happy birthday.
Look at it this way, friend.
You may be dying,
Dm
but you still have some time left.
So, let's sit down and take stock
of where you've been
Am
and where you're heading.
Life will always appear too short.
Only you can make it worthwhile.
Dm
No matter how hard you
struggle inside
You'll never get out of
those shoes alive
Am
Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide
All you're gonna get is a ticket to ride
