This tab is currently 95% created by Terry and 5% by myself. 
I have basically edited and revised this version of the tab. 
You can expect more of my updates to this tab including leads

VERSE
G                              Dm           Am
You’re the life of the party, everybody’s host
           C                      G
Still you need somewhere you can hide
Dm                                   Am
All your good-time friends and your fair-weather has-beens
C                                     G
Lord knows….they’re just along for the ride
E7                               Am
You think you’re a survivor, but boy you better think twice
G	    Dm (2 beats)      > D
No one rides for nothing, so step up and pay the price

CHORUS

             F   C          G    Dm                  Am
Ain’t it high time      you turned yourself around
             F  C    G              Am
Yeah, the high cost of low living
Eb                F              C
Bound to put you six feet in the ground

G                           Dm               Am
So many here who love you still you just can’t tell

C                                         G
The real ones from those that drop your name

Dm                                           Am
All the while behind your back they rip the flesh right from
your bones

C                                     G
you should know by now we’re all fair game

E7                                        Am
You been chasing each dream with whiskey  From here to Tokyo

G                               Dm                               D
Using up all your real friends  No places left to go

Ain’t it high time you turned yourself around

Yeah, the high cost of low living
Eb                       F                  C
Bound to put you six feet in the ground
