Version 1
[Verse 1]
G C G
She believes in face cream at the Walgreens and ruby-red lips
G C G
She'd take a vodka over dessert, sugar goes straight to your hips
C
And she don't smoke cigarettes 'cause it ain't lady-like
G C G
She'll cuss like a sailor, she ain't afraid to fight
G C G
She mows her own lawn and talks on her landline
C G
She's got a granddaughter, still single, can't say she's surprised
C
Eats sardines by the can and berries from a vine
G C G
Be careful with the truth, girl, but don't you ever lie
[Chorus]
C
And stay off the pills
G
But get on the pill if you ain't ready to start a family
C
And pay all your bills
G
But give some away, all that money won't make you happy
Em
Make good love, good company
C
Drink good wine, make good coffee
Em D Em
Keep your chin up, but every once in a while
C
Have a good cry
D
Well, go on and make a good living, girl, don't forget
G
To make a good life
[Verse 2]
G C G
She says all men are babies and that's just how they roll
G C G
They'll drive you crazy like a run in your hose
C
One day, you might want one, make sure he's your best friend
G C G
'Cause if he can make you laugh, you might just make it to the end
[Chorus]
C
And stay off the pills
G
But get on the pill if you ain't ready to start a family
C
And pay all your bills
G
But give some away, all that money won't make you happy
Em
Make good love, good company
C
Drink good wine, make good coffee
Em D Em
Keep your chin up, but every once in a while
C
Have a good cry
D
Well, go on and make a good living, girl, don't forget
G
To make a good life
[Bridge]
C
And we were talkin' like old friends, down at that hotel bar
G
She said a glass of red every day is damn good for the heart
C
And she said I'm not trying to preach, but it's just my own two cents
G D
That the prize is looking back and knowing it was all time well spent
[Verse 3]
G C G
Paris in the spring, in 1973
C G
She said if there is a Heaven, well, that's right where I'll be
C
We said our goodbyes
G
She gave me a wink and grabbed her coat to leave
C Em
I won't ever forget everything Janice said to me
[Chorus]
Em
Make good love, good company
C
Drink good wine, make good coffee
Em D Em
Make a life so good that you ain't gotta live it twice
C D
Well, go on and make a good living, girl, don't forget
G
To make a good life
