[Verse 1] 0:17
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
[Instrumental] 2:52

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
[Outro] 3:56
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
