Eric Church – Hard Way (Guitar)

    D           Em        G
Only fools would race down Grist Mill Road

   A              D
Let alone in angry weather

           Em        G
That what I tell everyone I know

A              D
Now that I know better

        G               D
That's a lesson I wish I woulda learned

       G                  D
Without havin' to watch my Mustang burn

      G                    D
Before my best buddy had to wind up hurt

  Em         D    G
An' his whole life changed

        Em              A                D
That's a lesson I wish I didn't learn the hard way

     D             Em       G
Only a fool would keep a diamond ring

   A                 D
In a box on the top of his closet

             Em         G
He came so close; he almost asked

A                  D
It was right there in his pocket

        G               D
That's a lesson I wish I woulda learned

      G                         D
Before standin' in the back row of that church

       G           D
Watchin' her daddy givin' her

 Em         D           G
To the man who took my place

         Em             A                D
That's a lesson I wish I didn't learn the hard way

C                                  D
Regret's been know to give a man a beatin'

    C                                          D
But I ain't in the mood for fightin' back this evenin'

    D             Em       D
Only fools don't take the time of day

    A              D
They stay too busy runnin'

                  Em       G
An' to stop just once to tell their Dad

A               D
Just how much they love him

        G               D
That's a lesson I wish I woulda learned

      G                         D
Before that phone call came an' it was her

         G              D
No, Momma never had to say a word

  Em      D        G
I knew it was too late

           Em           A                D
That's a lesson I wish I didn't learn the hard way
