D C
Livin' hard was easy, when I was young and bulletproof
G G/F D
I had no chains to bind me, just a guitar and a roof
C
Emptied every bottle, when I poured I never missed
G G/F D
I had bloodshot eyes at 25, or was it 26?

D C
It didn't seem to matter, what price I had to pay
G G/F D
'Cause anything worth having I'd just lose it anyway
C
Friends worried about me they asked if I was sick
G G/F D
Thought I would die at 25 or was it 26?

Those two years run together like whiskey over ice
A C F D
Melting in my memories like somebody else's life

I'm glad to say I've come around but if I could have one wish

I'd like another try at 25 or was it 26?

I met a girl from Georgia; smart, pretty college grad

But then she said goodbye at 25 or was it 26?

So I couldn't hide at 25 or was it 26?
