 Dm C Livin' hard was easy, when I was young and bulletproof G F Dm I had no chains to bind me, just a guitar and a roof C Emptied every bottle, when I poured I never missed G F Dm I had bloodshot eyes at 25, or was it 26? Didn't seem to matter what price I had to pay 'Cause anything worth havin', I’d just lose anyway Friends worried about me they’d asked if I was sick 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 C G D Melting in my memories like somebody else's life G D I'm glad to say I've come around but if I G could have one wish D C G I'd like another try at 25 or was it 26? 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 You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  C  D  Dm  F  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
