Guitar chords with lyrics

Chris Stapleton version of

Was it 26

Tune to D tuning
For intro and opening finger an open Dsus2 on the 4th fret
Slide up to 7th fret then down to second fret
This also played as a musical bridge between chorus and verse
Great fun with this song

Em                                 D
Livin' hard was easy, when I was young and bulletproof
    A                               G             Em
I had no chains to bind me, just a guitar and a roof
                             D
Emptied every bottle, when I poured I never missed

         A                    G      Em
I had bloodshot eyes at 25, or was it 26?

  Em                              D
It didn't seem to matter, what price I had to pay
    A.                                 G     Em
'Cause anything worth having I'd just lose it anyway
                         D
Friends worried about me they asked if I was sick
       A                   G      Em
Thought I would die at 25 or was it 26?

      A                         Em
Those two years run together like whiskey over ice
       B                        A                 G   Em
Melting in my memories like somebody else's life
     A                                Em                  A
I'm glad to say I've come around but if I could have one wish
    Em                   A     G    Em
I'd like another try at 25 or was it 26?

Em                              D
I met a girl from Georiga smart pretty college grad
  A                                            G       Em
I thought my luck was changing up till then it'd all been bad
                              D
Guess I fell in love with her all it took was one kiss
     A                       G      Em
But then she said goodbye at 25 or was it 26?


REPEAT CHORUS:
      A                         Em
Those two years run together like whiskey over ice
       B                        A                 G   Em
Melting in my memories like somebody else's life
     A                                Em                  A
I'm glad to say I've come around but if I could have one wish
    Em                   A     G    Em
I'd like another try at 25 or was it 26?


  Em                             D
Yeah, I"ve been down the road before almost as far as hell
   A                                 G          Em
Deception or redemption I guess only time will tell
                         D
I have in the knowledge that God gave us a gift
    So                    G     Em
I couldn't hide at 25 or was it 26?


      A                         Em
Those two years run together like whiskey over ice
       B                        A                 G   Em
Melting in my memories like somebody else's life
     A                                Em                  A
I'm glad to say I've come around but if I could have one wish
    Em                   A     G    Em
I'd like another try at 25 or was it 26?
     Em                   A     G    Em
I'd like another try at 25 or was it 26?
