Chords

[Verse #1]
D                               C
Livin' hard was easy when I was young and bullet-proof

  G                                C      G         D
I had no chains to bind me, just a guitar and a roof

D                            C
Emptied every bottle, when I poured I never missed

     G                               C                 D        
I had blood shot eyes at twenty-five or was it twenty-six.
[Verse #2]
D                          C    
Didn't seem to matter what price I had to pay

    G                            C    G         D               
Cause anything worth havin', I’d just lose anyway

D                        C
Friends worried about me they’d asked if I was sick

G                                  C                 D
Thought I would die at twenty-five or was it twenty-six
[Chorus]
G                                 D
Those two years run together like whiskey over ice

A                          C        G        D  
Meltin’ into memories like somebody else's life

G                                         D                 C   
I’m glad to say, I’ve come around, but if I could have one wish

    D                   G            C                 D        
I’d like another try at twenty-five, or was it twenty-six
[Verse #3]
D                                    C
I met a girl from Georgia, smart and pretty, a college grad

  G                                C    G                   D
I thought my luck was changin', up till then it’d all been bad

D                                       C
I guess I fell in love with her, all it took was just one kiss

G                                        C                  D
But then she said goodbye at twenty-five or was it twenty-six
[Chorus]
G                                 D
Those two years run together like whiskey over ice

A                          C        G         D
Meltin’ into memories like somebody else's life

G                                         D                 C   
I’m glad to say, I’ve come around, but if I could have one wish

    D                   G            C                 D        
I’d like another try at twenty-five, or was it twenty-six
[Verse #4]
D                                    C
Yeah I’ve been down that road before almost as far as hell

   G                             C    G           D
Deception or redemption, I guess only time will tell

D                                  C
I have faith in the knowledge that God gave us a gift

G                              C                 D      
I couldn't hide at twenty-five or was it twenty-six
[Chorus]
G                                 D
Those two years run together like whiskey over ice

A                          C        G         D
Meltin’ into memories like somebody else's life

G                                         D                  C  
I’m glad to say, I’ve come around, but if I could have one wish

    D                   G            C                  D       
I’d like another try at twenty-five, or was it twenty-six…

    D                   G            C                  D       
I’d like another try at twenty-five, or was it twenty-six.
