Verse 1:

 D             G
I ain't had nothin to drink

 A                       D
I knew thats probably what you'd think

 G              A                 D
If I dropped by this time of night

 D          G
Remember way back when

   A               D
I promised you I'd drop in

 G                 A                     D
At one of those meeting down at the Y

       G                      A
Well, they started talkin 'bout steps you take

D*
Mistakes you make the hearts you break
         G
And the price you pay

          A
I almost walked away

           G                 A
You could hear a pen drop when this old man

D*
Stood up and said I'm gonna say it again
        G
Like I do every week

               A
For those who don't know me



Chorus:

 D                G
Its the simple things in life

          A                    D
Like the kids at home and a loving wife

          G                         A
That you miss the most, when you lose control

          G                          A
And everything you love starts to disappear

D*
The devil takes your hand and say say no fear
           G          A
Have another shot, just one more beer

                G         A                   D(*)  G  A
Yeah, I've been there,          thats why I'm here


Verse 2:

 D                    G
This ole boy stood up in the aisle

 A               D
Said he'd been livin a life of denial

        G             A                         D
And he cried as he talked about the wasted years

 D              G
I couldn't believe what i heard

 A                D
It was my life word for word

 G                     A
And all of a sudden it was clear



Chorus:

 D                G
Its the simple things in life

          A                    D
Like the kids at home and a loving wife

          G                         A
That you miss the most, when you lose control

          G                          A
And everything you love starts to disappear

D*
The devil takes your hand and say say no fear
           G          A
Have another shot, just one more beer

                G         A                   D(*)
Yeah, I've been there,          thats why I'm here


Bridge:

            G                  A
I know for us it may be too late

              G
But it would mean the world to me

             A
If you were there when I stand to say



Chorus:

 D                G
Its the simple things in life

          A                    D
Like the kids at home and a loving wife

          G                         A
That you miss the most, when you lose control

          G                          A
And everything you love starts to disappear

D*
The devil takes your hand and say say no fear
           G          A
Have another shot, just one more beer

                G         A                   D*
Yeah, I've been there,          thats why I'm here
                  G     A                   D(*)  G   A   D
Oh, I've been there,        that's why I'm here
