Intro:
DmDm
Verse 1:
DmDm
I wish I'd met you earlier
Bb majorBb
Or maybe it's better we met as adults
G minorGm
You taught me how to stop thinking so much
A7A7
Thinking never got me anywhere
DmDm
How I spun in circles before you came
Bb majorBb
The sober mind is a messy thing
G minorGm
Those who know I'm a solid candidate
A7A7
Believe when I say
Chorus:
DmDm
Drugs saved my life
Bb majorBb
Showed me an open hand
G minorGm
I owe more than I can say
A7A7
To those select days
Bb majorBb
Eyes each moment anew
G minorGm
I know it's not right to say
Bb majorBb
But if you've walked through those fields
A7A7
Then you know what I mean
Verse 2:
DmDm
I'm sorry about those things I said
Bb majorBb
Before I met you myself
G minorGm
Those who hate you the most
A7A7
Have never kissed you on the mouth
DmDm
I'm the type
Bb majorBb
Who knows how to draw the line
G minorGm
So I don't visit you that often
A7A7
But I live with
DmDm
The knowledge of your smile
Chorus:
Bb majorBb
Showed me an open hand
G minorGm
I owe more than I can say
A7A7
To those select days
Bb majorBb
Eyes each moment anew
G minorGm
I know it's not right to say
Bb majorBb
But if you've walked through those fields
A7A7
Then you know what I mean
Bridge:
G minorGm A7A7
Where are you the rest of the time?
G minorGm A7A7
And why do eyes grow tired?
G minorGm
And I can't forget the night
A7A7
That you stabbed me in the back
G minorGm
So I live a reasonable life
A7A7
But I never forget
DmDm
Those summer nights
Chorus:
Bb majorBb
Showed me an open hand
G minorGm
I owe more than I can say
A7A7
To those select days
Bb majorBb
Eyes each moment anew
G minorGm
I know it's not right to say
Bb majorBb
But if you've walked through those fields
A7A7
Then you know what I mean
