🎸 Verse 1:
A                          A7                       D
My momma said I been like this from the time I was born
E                                         A
Since I was a boy, my drug of choice was more
A                     A7                      D
If it was a bet or a dare I swear I was your guy
E                                          A
I did most of my livin' on days I shoulda died

A                                                  D
I've danced with the devil a hundred and too many times
E                                                 A
I've pushed my luck so damn far, so far I'm all right
A                             A7                       D
I ain't in the grave yet, but no one can say I ain't tried
E
And I've chased crazy women, made jukebox decisions
E                                        A
Did most of my livin' on days I shoulda died



🎸 Chorus:
D    A    E
Hey hey what can I say
D               A      E
All the good stories start the same way
D
If you've ever thunk it
A
Then I've probably done it
E
I'm better off now that I settled down
E                                                  A
But I'm nothing without them days that I shoulda died

🎸 Verse 2:
A                            A7                         D
I'm sweeter and wiser, but somewhere in the back of my mind
E                                                       A
There's an old Zippo lighter lookin' for a fuse it can light
A                      A7                       D
I might not today, but one day you know I just might
E
Spark that ol' flame, throw it all away
E                                        A
For one of them good ol' days I shoulda died



🎸 Chorus:
D    A    E
Hey hey what can I say
D               A      E
All the good stories start the same way
D
If you've ever thunk it
A
Then I've probably done it
E
I'm better off now that I settled down
E                                                  A
But I'm nothing without them days that I shoulda died
E
I've chased crazy women, made jukebox decisions
E                                              A
Did most of my livin' on days that I shoulda died
