(G-D-Em-C) x2
(G) Eighteen was a (D) rocket ride
(Em) I lit the fuse and I (C) held on tight
(G) Every day was a (D) Friday night
And (Em) I got the scars to (C) prove it
(G) It all blew up at (D) 25
(Em) Saw those telephone poles (C) flying by
And (G) I don't remember (D) much that night
I'm just (C) lucky I (C/B) got (C) through it
(Chorus)
And (G) I let it (D) run like an open vein
(Am) Loved the pleasure and (C) cursed the pain
(G) Oh (D) foolish things I've (C) done (C/B-C)
I'm too old now to die young
G-D-Em-C
(G) Woke up alone at (D) 35
(Em) Just across town from (C) my ex-wife
I (G) get my two kids every (D) Friday night
And I (Em) work all week to do it (C)
Their (G) momma and me couldn't (D) work it out
Oh but (Em) that don't seem to (C) matter now
(G) They're all that I (D) care about
And I (C) got their (C/B) love (C) to prove it
