20 Years Ago
Album: The Boxmasters


INTRO: Bm  D  G  A

Bm               D
Starin' off into space
                    G
Smokin' more than I should
                   A
Stayin' out of the race
                        Bm
Hidin' from the neighborhood


Lookin' out thru the cracks
Catchin' glimpses of life
I touch the past when I look back
Like it's the edge of a knife

Playin' to a crowd of one
As I cuss my demons out
For the things that I have done
To put my future in doubt

Feelin' poison eat me up
From the fun I thought I had
'Fore I knew that lady luck
Could turn stark ravin' mad


CHORUS:
G            A            D
And I'd give anything for twenty years ago
G          A           D
And what I know today about sayin' no
G        A            D      D/C#  Bm
I'd give anything for twenty years ago
          G                    A                   D
I'd never live the dreams that made this nightmare grow


INTRO


Hardly leavin' this place
Once a month for the news
That I shouldn't have much faith
And my bill is overdue

The phone rings every now and then
But I never pick it up
I don't wanna talk to old friends
Who are up on their luck


CHORUS


SOLO (chorus chords)


CHORUS

              G                    A                   D
I'd never the live the dreams that made this nightmare grow
