Eric Church – A Man Who Was Gonna Die Young (Guitar)

G                 C 
I like fast cars, and sharp dreams 

D               G
chased a lot of crazy things

C                                  D
left behind my share of broken pieces

G                     C       D                  G
this morning I turned 36, and you just remember half of it

C                                      D
you wonder how you out-lived Hank and Jesus 

          C                    D
I put the rage in a river, the roll in a thunder

    G                C
but you kept me from goin' under,

C                          D
when that current got too heavy

  C                       D
I always thought I'd be a heap of metal

       G                  C
in a cloud of smoke, foot stuck to the pedal

C                                         D
Sold for parts like a junkyard rusted-out Chevy

C               Am
Fear, I've had none

               C
what the hell made you want to love

   C            D         G
a man, who was gonna die young

G                    C
In the mirror, I saw my surprise

D                    G                   C
who knew gray hairs liked to hide, on a head

                                  D
that didn't think he'd live past thirty

G               C                   D                    G
If I make it thirty more, it's the brown that you'll be looking for

        C                                          D
as you run your fingers through, say "slow down, honey" 

           C                   D
I put the rage in a river, the roll in a thunder

     G                C
but you kept me from goin' under,

C                         D
when that current got too heavy

  C                       D
I always thought I'd be a heap of metal

       G                   C
in a cloud of smoke, foot stuck to the pedal

C                                         D
Sold for parts like a junkyard rusted-out Chevy

C              Am
Fear, I've had none

                     C
what the hell made you want to love

   C            D         G
a man, who was gonna die young

           G            C
Call it intuition, or call it crazy

       D                    G
just thought by now I'd be pushing up daisies

       C                             D
but I'd gladly stick around if we're together

             G             C
So baby when you bow your head tonight

          D                  G
could you tell the Lord I've changed my mind?

      C           D               G
And with you I'd like to live, forever
