Drop D Tuning
D C
Livin' hard was easy when I was young and bullet-proof
G D
I had no chains to bind me, just a guitar and a roof
D C
Emptied every bottle when I poured I never missed
G D
I had blood shot eyes at twenty-five or was it twenty-six
D C
Didn't seem to matter what price I had to pay
G D
Cause anything worth havin', I'd just lose anyway
D C
Friends worried about me, they'd asked if I was sick
G D
Thought I wouldn't die at twenty-five or was it twenty-six
Chorus:
G D
Those two years run together like whiskey over ice
A G D
Melted into memories like somebody else's life
G D D/F# G
I'm glad to say, I've come around but if I could have one wish
D C G D
I'd like another try at twenty-five or was it twenty-six
Met a girl from Georgia, smart and pretty, college grad
I thought my luck was changin' but then it all went bad
I guess I fell in love with her, all it took was just one kiss
But then she said goodbye at twenty-five or was it twenty-six
Chorus
I've been down that road before almost as far as hell
Deception or redemption, I guess only time will tell
I have faith and the knowledge that God gave us a gift
I couldn't hide at twenty-five or was it twenty-six
Chorus
