[Intro] D G (x4) [Verse 1]
         D                        G
Couldn't wait to ride out of that one horse town

       D          G
Didn't see no use in sticking around

      D                 G               A
I was green and busting at the seams to leave

      D             G
I was sitting on G, waiting on O

          D             G
The day I hit eighteen, I hit the road

            D                     G              A
Traded that county maintain for a four lane city street
[Pre-Chorus]
              Em                    D                   G
But sometimes things ain't what you think they're gonna be

Em                  D               G
What you want ain't always what you need
[Chorus]
                    D
Don't know what you got 'til it's gone

           A
And you're out on your own

        G                      A
All you want is what you can't get back

                D                 A
Once you let it go, then you know what you have

             G              A
Don't hold a candle to what you had

Bm                 A
Sometimes what you think you'll find

G                   D                Em
It ain't quite what real life has in store

A                               D G D G
So be careful what you wish for
[Verse 2]
        D          G
She was holding on just a little too tight

         D               G
Talked a little too much about the rest of our lives

  D               G                          A
I broke her heart thinking freedom would set me free

               Em                    D                   G
Well sometimes things ain't what you think they're gonna be
[Chorus]
                    D
Don't know what you got 'til it's gone

           A
And you're out on your own

        G                      A
All you want is what you can't get back

                D                 A
Once you let it go, then you know what you have

             G              A
Don't hold a candle to what you had

Bm                 A
Sometimes what you think you'll find

G                   D                Em
It ain't quite what real life has in store

A                               D
So be careful what you wish for
[Bridge]
             Em                                     D
'Cause these city lights can't shine quite like the stars

       G                          A
I wish I could wish her back into my arms
[Chorus]
                    D
Don't know what you got 'til it's gone

           A
And you're out on your own

        G                      A
All you want is what you can't get back

                D                 A
Once you let it go, then you know what you have

             G              A
Don't hold a candle to what you had

Bm                 A
Sometimes what you think you'll find

G                   D                Em
It ain't quite what real life has in store

Em                            A
And you can't get her back no more

A                              D G D
So be careful what you wish for

G               D        G  D
Be careful what you wish for
