I had bloodshot eyes at 25, or was it 26?
E minorEm D MajorD
It didn't seem to matter, what price I had to pay
A. G+G E minorEm
'Cause anything worth having I'd just lose it anyway

Friends worried about me they asked if I was sick

Thought I would die at 25 or was it 26?

Those two years run together like whiskey over ice

Melting in my memories like somebody else's life

I'm glad to say I've come around but if I could have one wish

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