[Verse 1]
D                                  C
Livin' hard was easy, when I was young and bulletproof

    F G                                     G F D  walkdown
I had no chains to bind me, just a guitar and a roof

D                             C
Emptied every bottle, when I poured I never missed

         F G                           G F D
I had bloodshot eyes at 25, or was it 26?

[Verse 2]
  D                               C
It didn't seem to matter, what price I had to pay

    F G                                         G F D walkdown
'Cause anything worth having I'd just lose it anyway

 D                        C
Friends worried about me they asked if I was sick

       F G                          G F D walkdown
Thought I would die at 25 or was it 26?
[Chorus]
      G                         D
Those two years run together like whiskey over ice

       A                        C                 F   D walkdown
Melting in my memories like somebody else's life

     G                                D                   G
I'm glad to say I've come around but if I could have one wish

    D                    C          F G
I'd like another try at 25 or was it 26?

[Verse 3]
D                                   C
I met a girl from Georgia; smart and pretty college grad

  F G                                          G F D   walkdown
I thought my luck was changing. Up till then it'd all been bad

D                             C
Guess I fell in love with her all it took was one kiss

              F G                         G F D walkdown
But then she said goodbye at 25 or was it 26?
[Chorus]
      G                         D
Those two years run together like whiskey over ice

       A                        C                 F   D walkdown
Melting in my memories like somebody else's life

     G                                D                   G
I'm glad to say I've come around but if I could have one wish

    D                    C           F G
I'd like another try at 25 or was it 26?

[Verse 4]
  D                                     C
Now, I've been down the road before almost as far as hell

   F G                                  G F D     walkdown
Deception or redemption I guess only time will tell

D                              C
I have faith in the knowledge that God gave us a gift

    F G                           G F D   walkdown
So I couldn't hide at 25 or was it 26?
[Chorus]
      G                         D
Those two years run together like whiskey over ice

       A                        C                 F   D walkdown
Melting in my memories like somebody else's life

     G                                D                   F G
I'm glad to say I've come around but if I could have one wish

    D                    C          F G
I'd like another try at 25 or was it 26?
