     B
This mornin', an old runnin' buddy dropped by

F#
  It was good to see the clear in his eyes

    E                                   B
The coffee was black, but no more cigarettes

     B
Been layin' things down, one habit at a time

      F#
Never thought we'd get old, now we're damn sure tryin'

E                                        B     B* Bb* G#m
Makin' the most of the time that we have left

                     F#                E
We've lived a little harder than the rest
[Chorus] 0:58
   B
We swore like hell we'd never slow down

F#
Money we'd burn when we'd paint the town

C#m
Rollin' like we'd never see tomorrow

        E
We were chasin' that high, we had time to borrow

        B
We were out of control, like the James-Younger brothers

        F#
We were hard on ourselves, we were bad for each other

   C#m                                              E
So living's been done, and we pulled back on the throttle

        B                F#                      B
Still a vice or two, but they're better than the bottle
[Verse 2] 1:35
     B
Just talkin' and thinkin' on the wilder days

        F#
And the friends that we lost, it came back to Jay

E                                          B
We'll never know of the problems that he knew

        B
We were lucky enough to slip on through the cracks

F#
Outrun the devil and the plans that he had

E                                            B     B* Bb* G#m
Lookin' back now, back then, there were no regrets

                  F#             E      EM7* E*
Lived a little harder than the rest
[Chorus] 2:19
   B
We swore like hell we'd never slow down

F#
Money we'd burn when we'd paint the town

C#m
Rollin' like we'd never see tomorrow

        E
We were chasin' that high, we had time to borrow

        B
We were out of control, like the James-Younger brothers

        F#
We were hard on ourselves, we were bad for each other

   C#m                                              E
So living's been done, and we pulled back on the throttle

            B                F#                         E
Still got a vice or two, but they're better than the bottle

                     B                F#*                        B    B    B    B
Yeah, we still got a vice or two, but they're better than the bottle

                      B       B    B    B*
We're better than the bottle
