G C I've met all my heroes and shook all the hands G D G Of all I wanted to meet G C I've kissed all the women that once were the girls G D G I dreamed about falling to sleep D G I've looked up the bullies from grade and high school Em D D7 And gave them a piece of my mind G C G I've even looked up some old teachers I had D G And 'pologized for being unkind G C G I've talked to my mama and told her I knew G D G I hadn't done all that I could G C She just smiled and kissed me and said after all G D G You know prayers answered late are still good D G And daddy there's things I'd love to tell you Em D D7 But you died 25 years ago G C G 'Cause just now I'm learnin' a few of the things D G I thought for years you didn't know D G And there's nothing I've done that I wish I've done less Em D D7 But there's a few I wish I'd done more G C G And the thing I find hardest to believe is I'm here D D7 G 'Cause I've never lived this long before G C G I find myself readin' the Bible more now than I did D G Say ten years ago G C G And I find myself lookin' at young girls and thinkin' G D G That's somebody's daughter you know D G And what does it mean when they call me Mister Em D D7 And say things I don't comprehend G C And to tell you the truth more often to me G D G Their mama's look better than them G C G But there's one call I haven't brought myself to make G D G One mem'ry that I can't erase G C G I've still got the pictures that I can talk to G D G But I'm not up to go face to face D G But maybe she's happy and Lord I hope so Em D D7 And maybe her kids have kids of their own G C G But to me she'll always be a dance in the spring G D G And a mem'ry I can't leave alone D G And there's nothing I've done that I wish I've done less Em D D7 But there's a few I wish I'd done more G C G And the thing I find hardest to believe is I'm here D D7 G 'Cause I've never lived this long before G C G So now that my life is laid out in order G D G I guess I'm ready to go G C G I'll find me a shade tree and build me a cabin G D G And watch the daffodils grow D G But wait just a minute if you'll excuse me Em D D7 I just saw someone I used to know G C G And I'll come back tomorrow and finish this chorus G D G Da da da D G And there's nothing I've done that I wish I've done less Em D D7 But there's a few I wish I'd done more G C G And the thing I find hardest to believe is I'm here D D7 G 'Cause I've never lived this long before G D G I've never lived this long before
