Didn't seem to matter, what pa-rice I had to pay
       G                        F      C    D5/A
Cause anything worth havin' I'd just lose anyway
D5/A                       D    C                 Cadd9
Friends worried about me they'd ask if I was sick
  G                              F       C  D5/A D5/A

Those two years run together like whiskey over ice
A                             G    F      D5/A D5/A
Melted in the memory like somebody else's life
     G                                   D5/A      D      G
I'm glad to say I've come a-round but if I could have one wish

I'd like another try at 25 or was it 26

  G                                    F         C        D5/A
I Thought my luck was changin' up till then it'd all been bad
D5/A                              D  C                      Cadd9

I've been down that road before almost as far as hell
G                               F    C         D5/A
