Intro: D* G A

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
