• Capo on 1st

Tuning: EADGBE

Intro:
D MajorD G+G (x4)

Verse 1:
     D MajorD            G+G
Couldn't wait to ride out of that one horse town
    D MajorD     G+G
Didn't see no use in sticking around
   D MajorD         G+G        A augmentedA
I was green and busting at the seams to leave
   D MajorD       G+G
I was sitting on G, waiting on O
     D MajorD       G+G
The day I hit eighteen, I hit the road
      D MajorD           G+G       A augmentedA
Traded that county maintain for a four lane city street

Pre-Chorus:
       E minorEm          D MajorD          G+G
But sometimes things ain't what you think they're gonna be
E minorEm         D MajorD        G+G
What you want ain't always what you need

Chorus:
          D MajorD
Don't know what you got 'til it's gone
      A augmentedA
And you're out on your own
    G+G           A augmentedA
All you want is what you can't get back
        D MajorD         A augmentedA
Once you let it go, then you know what you have
       G+G       A augmentedA
Don't hold a candle to what you had
B minorBm         A augmentedA
Sometimes what you think you'll find
G+G          D MajorD        E minorEm
It ain't quite what real life has in store
A augmentedA                D MajorD G+G D MajorD G+G
So be careful what you wish for

Verse 2:
    D MajorD     G+G
She was holding on just a little too tight
     D MajorD        G+G
Talked a little too much about the rest of our lives
 D MajorD        G+G             A augmentedA
I broke her heart thinking freedom would set me free
        E minorEm          D MajorD          G+G
Well sometimes things ain't what you think they're gonna be

Chorus:
          D MajorD
Don't know what you got 'til it's gone
      A augmentedA
And you're out on your own
    G+G           A augmentedA
All you want is what you can't get back
        D MajorD         A augmentedA
Once you let it go, then you know what you have
       G+G       A augmentedA
Don't hold a candle to what you had
B minorBm         A augmentedA
Sometimes what you think you'll find
G+G          D MajorD        E minorEm
It ain't quite what real life has in store
A augmentedA                D MajorD
So be careful what you wish for

Bridge:
       E minorEm                   D MajorD
'Cause these city lights can't shine quite like the stars
    G+G             A augmentedA
I wish I could wish her back into my arms

Chorus:
          D MajorD
Don't know what you got 'til it's gone
      A augmentedA
And you're out on your own
    G+G           A augmentedA
All you want is what you can't get back
        D MajorD         A augmentedA
Once you let it go, then you know what you have
       G+G       A augmentedA
Don't hold a candle to what you had
B minorBm         A augmentedA
Sometimes what you think you'll find
G+G          D MajorD        E minorEm
It ain't quite what real life has in store
E minorEm              A augmentedA
And you can't get her back no more
A augmentedA               D MajorD G+G D MajorD
So be careful what you wish for
G+G        D MajorD    G+G D MajorD
