G Em G Em Seems like yesterday I was here G Em G Em Dreamin' my life away and drinkin' beer C C G Em G Em Staying up till dawn strummin' on guitars C C G Em G Em Sleepin' all day long just like the big rock stars D C G Em G Em Barely livin' on money from tip jars
[Verse 2]
G Em G Em I had a little place just up the block G Em G Em Had me a French girlfriend I loved the way she talked C C G Em G Em We spent our afternoons watchin' the TV C C G Em G Em Findin' things to do that we could do for free D C G Em G Em When we split up she said you don't do enough for me

G Em G Em Had my first gig here in the neighborhood G Em G Em We had a little band I thought was good C C G Em G Em Hocked my old shotgun bought a used P.A. C C G Em G Em We got a quart of rum drank it all that day D C G Em G Em When the big gig come we were just to drunk to play

G Em G Em Sometimes I can't believe those days are gone G Em G Em Most of my friends back then have moved along C C G Em G Em One's in Hollywood one's a millionaire C C G Em G Em Some are gone for good some still livin' here G Em G Em Me I'm just the same lost in a crowd G Em G Em Lookin' for the rain in a thunder cloud C C G Em G Em I have moved around but it don't matter though C C G Em G Em One thing I have found there are just two ways to go D C G Em G Em It all comes down to livin' fast or dyin' slow
