A simplified version but easy to sing along to.
Capo 3
G C D G C
I like fast cars and sharp drinks, chased a lot of crazy things, left behind
G D
my share of broken pieces.
G C D G C
This morning I turned 36 and you just remember half of it. You wonder how you
G D
out-lived Hank or Jesus.
Chorus:
C D G C
I put the rage in a river, roll in a thunder. But you kept me from going
C G D
under when that current got too heavy.
C D G C
I always thought I'd be a heap of metal, and a cloud of smoke, foot stuck to
C G D
the pedal, sold for parts like a junkyard rusted-out Chevy.
C G D G C D
Fear I've had none, what the hell made you wanna love a man who was gonna die
G
young?
G C D G C
In the mirror I saw my surprise, who knew gray hairs like to hide on a head,
G D
that didn't think he'd live past thirty.
G C D G
If I make it thirty more, it's the brown that you'll be looking for as you
C G D
run your fingers through, say slow down honey.
Chorus:
C D G C
I put the rage in a river, roll in a thunder. But you kept me from going
C G D
under, when that current got too heavy.
C D G C
I always thought I'd be a heap of metal, and a cloud of smoke, foot stuck to
C G D
the pedal, sold for parts like a junkyard rusted-out Chevy.
C G D G C D
Fear I've had none, what the hell made you wanna love a man who was gonna die
G
young?
G C D G
Call it intuition, or call it crazy. Just thought by now I'd be pushing up
C G D
daisies. But I'd gladly stick around if we're together.
G C D G
So baby when you bow your head tonight, could you tell the Lord I've changed
C D
my mind and with you I'd like to live forever.
