G                             G
My septic tank is backing up, One of my six dogs just had twelve pups
G                                 C
And I ain't even had my breakfast yet
Am                                  D
The IRS is on the phone, the bank's hitching up my trailer home
       C                                  D
Lately I've been having sharp pains in my chest
  C                          D7
I guess I really ought to be upset

[Chorus]
    G                                 C
But I take life with a grain of salt, I don't get worked up at all
D7                                    G    D7
I'm never down, no, I'm always flying high
G                            C
When folks ask how I maintain my Zen-like state of mind, I tell 'em
D7                                         C      D7       G
I take life with a grain of salt ... and a little slice of lime

[Verse]
D                C             G
You can't beat a margarita to wash away the blues
D                      C                G
This world is mean and it can seem like you were born to lose
B7                                          Em
But I've got ice and I've got a blender, so let the bad times roll
A                                D               D7
As long as Cuervo makes tequila, I'll be good as gold

[Chorus]
    G                                 C
But I take life with a grain of salt, I don't get worked up at all
D7                                    G    D7
I'm never down, no, I'm always flying high
G                            C
When folks ask how I maintain my Zen-like state of mind, I tell 'em
D7                                         C      D7       G
I take life with a grain of salt ... and a little slice of lime

[Instrumental]
D G(2x) C(2x) D(2x) G E(key change)

[Outro]
A                                 D
I've got a sunny disposition even when that sun don't shine
E                                     D  E
Cause I take life with a grain of salt, some Triple Sec and a double shot
                                     D      E        A
Splash of Quattro on the rocks and a little slice of lime
