"Nine Lives" - Lyrics (Phil Collen, Rick Savage, Joe Elliott, Tim McGraw)

"is your luck enough - Tim McGraw
is your touch enough - Tim McGraw
c'mon girl - Tim McGraw
can you keep it up - Tim McGraw
is your bluff enough - Tim McGraw

are you tough enough
is your stuff enough
can you start it up
are you sharp enough
let it roll, let em go, let em fly
took a chance on a chance
but the aces were high
get it on, give it up, give it in
you stole the wages of sin
got to be in it to win

Chorus
nine lives, nine times to die
i've been bitten once - Tim McGraw
but i won't be twice shy - Tim McGraw
nine lives, nine times to die
come on and show me your hand
cause it's your time to cry

have you lost your touch
are the stakes too much - Tim McGraw
did you spin the wheel
and could you close a deal - Tim McGraw
Yeah, yeah!
let it roll, let em go, give em style
took a chance on a chance
but the deuces were wild
get it on, give it up, give it in
you stole the wages of sin
cause you're in it to win

Chorus
nine lives, nine times to die
i've been bitten once
but i won't be twice shy
nine lives, nine times to die
come on and show me your hand - Tim McGraw
cause it's your turn to cry - Tim McGraw

Hey! - Tim McGraw.

Guitar Solo - Phil Collen.

let it roll, let em go, let em fly
took a chance on a chance
but the aces were high
get it on, give it up, give it in
you stole the wages of sin
got to be in it to win

Chorus
nine lives, nine times to die
i've been bitten once
but i won't be twice shy
nine lives, nine times to die
come on and show me your hand
cause it's your turn to cry

nine lives, nine times to die
i've been bitten once - Tim McGraw
but i won't be shy twice - Tim McGraw
nine lives, nine times to die
it's russian roulette - Tim McGraw
with every roll of your dice - Tim McGraw

and nine lives is all you're gonna get
I said all you're gonna get, yeah
nine lives, nine times to die
you've just lived less than your nine lives.

Sat 16th Feb - ammended the lyrics based on hearing the song, I've been assured the highlighted lines ARE Tim McGraw. Last few lines were a bit hard to make out exactly. Updated again (for the last time) thanks to Joan with extra Tim bits and the end corrected. Tim sings in a similar style to Joe so hard to hear him - will be easier on a higher quality version.

This is being shared (because it was shared with me) as with the US/UK tour info. Make of it what you will. Note the Rolling Stones/Ian Hunter references. The single still has no firm release date.
