Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Difficulty: Intermediate

Verse 1:
D                               D7
Time flies by in the blink of an eye
 G                                     D
 When you get paid for having too much fun
D          D/C#         D/B              D
Kicking out footlights, living the night life
E7                               A
Like tomorrow ain’t never going to come
D                                          D7
Wouldn’t change much of nothing about this road we’ve been running
            G                           D
Full of wild times, wine, women and a song
G                            D/C#     D/B
But we’d of taken much better care of ourselves
          G                    A            D
If we’d a known we was going to live this long

Verse 2:
D                          D7
Whiskey goes down like the cold Spring water
G                            D
Over rocks at the close of the day
D           D/C#        D/B                  D
When you’re flying like eagles down American highways
E7                               A
You lose a lot of friends along the way
D                                     D7
But we just keep on moving and rolling along
G                                D
Can’t look back we might turn to stone
           G                 D/C#     D/B
But we’d a taken much better care of ourselves
          G                   A        D
If we’d a known we was gonna live this long


Chorus:
Bm              Bm/Bb           Bm/A       E7
If we’d a known we were going to live this long
G            A                   D
We might have changed things up a bit
Bm        Bm/Bb          Bm/A      E7
We still woulda’ve lived out every song
     G                             A
Just maybe not quite as fast as we did


Verse 3:
D                                                     D7
But we’re in pretty good shape Will for the shape were in
G                                    D
We’ll keep rocking along until we’re gone
G                            D/C#     D/B
But we’d of taken much better care of ourselves
          G                  A            D
If we’d a known we was gonna live this long


Chorus:
     G                        D/C#     D/B
Yeah we’d a taken much better care of ourselves
          G                  A            D
If we’d a known we was gonna live this long
