Starting With Me
Jake Owen
Intro: B-G#m
B
I had a one night stand with my best friends baby sister
G#m
And to this day he still won''t speak to me
E
I pawned my grandpa''s old guitar in collage
F#
For a case of beer and a tank of gasoline
B F# B
I took a swing at my old man one Christmas
G#m
I never dreamed that it would be his last
E
I wish mom had rung my neck
When she caught me with those cigarettes
F#
Which reminds me, I''m down to my last pack
Chorus
B G#m
If I had a dime, for half the things I did
E
That didn''t make no sense at all,
F#
I''d be living a little higher on the hog
B D#
If only I''d have known, that later on down the road
G#m F# E
I''d look back and not like what I see
C#m F# B
I''d have changed a lot of things, Startin'' with me
B
I called my brother everything I could think of
G#m
The night he wouldn''t bail me out of jail
E B
I lost a job most folks ‘round here would die for
F#
By laying out all night and raising hell
B
And I let a woman that I love slip through my fingers
G#m
Chalk another dumb move up to my foolish pride
E
I wasn''t there standin'' by the bed
When the preacher bowed his head
F#
With the family, the day my grandma died
Chorus
B G#m
If I had a dime, for half the things I did
E
That didn''t make no sense at all,
F#
I''d be living a little higher on the hog
B D#
If only I''d have known, that later on down the road
G#m F# E
I''d look back and not like what I see
C#m F# B
I''d have changed a lot of things, Startin'' with me
Instrumental: G#m-E-F
B D#
If only I''d have known, that later on down the road
G#m F# E
I''d look back and not like what I see

G#m B
Startin'' with me
