Chords

Chords and playing notes from his original unreleased original YouTube video: Update 27 January 2023 - added the rest of the song to match the official lyric video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlSsYozbH2w Tune everything down a half step to play along with the original unreleased vido. For the D5* chords, play xx003x and hammer on to xx023x (Dsus4 to D5). For the G*, hammer on to the 2nd fret of the A string. For the A chords, I find that it sounds nice to hammer on to the B string (Asus2 to A) or, in the places where I have indicated A**, to hammer on and pull of a couple times from A to A6 (x0422x). The way he plays this in the original unreleased video, he seems to be avoiding the high E string in this song. [Chords] D5 xx023x G 32003x A x0222x Bm x2443x [Verse 1]
                 D5*      D5*
I still hit them dive bars

      G               D5
Every once in a blue moon

      D5*      D5*
Got a wild card

D/F# G               D5
I    keep inside my boot

         A              G              D5
I been thinking lately maybe I should save it

             A              G                 D5
'Cause them hangovers sure kick my ass these days

            Bm            A             G*  G*
So I spend most my happy hours here at home

        G*               A              D5  D5*
In the middle of growin' up and gettin' old
[Chorus]
          D5*              D5*                            G*     D5
But I can still raise hell all night with the boys when I want to

         D5*         D5*                    A**
Lay that hammer down to see how fast she'll go

          D5*         D5*              G*      D5
But these days I hang my hat on what I won't do

              D5*           D5*                A**
And I've been finding peace of mind slowin' my roll

         Bm                 A          G   G*
Learn to toe that line with time as it goes

        G*               A              D5*  D5*
In the middle of growin' up and gettin' old
[Verse 2]
                    D5*     D5*
It's when you start thinking

         G              D5
How much time left you got

           D5*      D5*
If there's more sand

D/F#     G              D5
 In the bottom or the top

            A              G                 D5
'Cause that hour glass we have don't last forever

            A               G                   D5
I've been thinkin' 'bout it more and more these days

               Bm                A             G*  G*
It's like the less you have the faster that it goes

        G*               A             D5  D5*
In the middle of growing up and gettin old
[Chorus]
          D5*              D5*                            G*     D5
But I can still raise hell all night with the boys when I want to

         D5*         D5*                    A**
Lay that hammer down to see how fast she'll go

          D5*         D5*              G*      D5
But these days I hang my hat on what I won't do

              D5*           D5*                A**
And I've been finding peace of mind slowin' my roll

             Bm                 A          G   G*
You learn to toe that line with time as it goes

        G*               A              D5*  D5*
In the middle of growin' up and gettin' old
[Bridge]
           A                 G                D5
I'm still bendin' rules, but thinkin' 'fore I break 'em

            G                   D5             A**
And I ain't lost a step, I just look before I take 'em
[Outro]
          D5*              D5*                            G*     D5
But I can still raise hell all night with the boys when I want to

         D5*         D5*                    A**
Lay that hammer down to see how fast she'll go

          D5*         D5*              G*      D5
But these days I hang my hat on what I won't do

              D5*           D5*                A**
And I've been finding peace of mind slowin' my roll

         Bm                 A          G   G*
Learn to toe that line with time as it goes

        G*               A              D5*  D5*
In the middle of growin' up and gettin' old
