Verse 1:
D MajorD G+G
I ain't had nothin to drink
A augmentedA D MajorD
I knew thats probably what you'd think
G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
If I dropped by this time of night
D MajorD G+G
Remember way back when
A augmentedA D MajorD
I promised you I'd drop in
G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
At one of those meeting down at the Y
G+G A augmentedA
Well, they started talkin 'bout steps you take
D*
Mistakes you make the hearts you break
G+G
And the price you pay
A augmentedA
I almost walked away

You could hear a pen drop when this old man
D*
Stood up and said I'm gonna say it again

Like I do every week
A augmentedA
For those who don't know me

D MajorD G+G
Its the simple things in life
A augmentedA D MajorD
Like the kids at home and a loving wife
G+G A augmentedA
That you miss the most, when you lose control
G+G A augmentedA
And everything you love starts to disappear
D*
The devil takes your hand and say say no fear
G+G A augmentedA
Have another shot, just one more beer
G+G A augmentedA D(*) G+G A augmentedA
Yeah, I've been there, thats why I'm here

This ole boy stood up in the aisle
A augmentedA D MajorD
Said he'd been livin a life of denial
G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
And he cried as he talked about the wasted years
D MajorD G+G
I couldn't believe what i heard
A augmentedA D MajorD
It was my life word for word
G+G A augmentedA
And all of a sudden it was clear
Chorus:
D MajorD G+G
Its the simple things in life
A augmentedA D MajorD
Like the kids at home and a loving wife
G+G A augmentedA
That you miss the most, when you lose control

And everything you love starts to disappear

The devil takes your hand and say say no fear

Have another shot, just one more beer
G+G A augmentedA D(*)
Yeah, I've been there, thats why I'm here
Bridge:
G+G A augmentedA
I know for us it may be too late
G+G
But it would mean the world to me
A augmentedA
If you were there when I stand to say
Chorus:
D MajorD G+G
Its the simple things in life
A augmentedA D MajorD
Like the kids at home and a loving wife
G+G A augmentedA
That you miss the most, when you lose control
G+G A augmentedA
And everything you love starts to disappear
D*
The devil takes your hand and say say no fear

Have another shot, just one more beer
