Intro: B Abm B I had a one night stand with my best friend's baby sister Abm To this day he still won't speak to me E I pawned my grandpa's old guitar in college F# For a case of beer and a tank of gasoline B I took a swing at my old man one Christmas Abm I never dreamed that it would be his last E I wish mom had rung my neck when she caught me with those cigarettes F# Which reminds me, I'm down to my last pack B Abm ( F# ) If I had a dime, for half the things I did E That didn't make no sense at all, F# I'd be livin' a little higher on the hog B Ebm7 If only I'd a known, that later on down the road Abm F# E I'd look back and not like what I see C#m F# B I'd a changed a lot of things, startin' with me I called my brother everything I could think of The night he wouldn't bail me out of jail I lost a job most folks 'round here would die for By layin' out all night and raisin' hell I let a woman that I love slip through my fingers Chalk another dumb move up to my foolish pride I wasn't there standin' by the bed, when the preacher bowed his head With the family, the day my grandma died If I had a dime, for half the things I did That didn't make no sense at all, I'd be livin' a little higher on the hall If only I'd a known, that later on down the road I'd look back and not like what I see I'd a changed a lot of things, startin' with me (solo) B Abm E F# If only I'd a known, that later on down the road I'd look back and not like what I see I'd a changed a lot of things, startin' with me Abm Startin' with me Outro: B Abm
