verse 1
G Cadd9
I like fast cars and sharp dreams
D Em
Chased a lot of crazy things
Cadd9 G D
Left behind my share of broken pieces
G Cadd9
This morning i turned 36
D Em
You just remember half of it
Cadd9 G D
You wonder how you out lived hank or Jesus
Cadd9 G
I put the rage in the river and the roll in the thunder
D Em
But you kept me from going under
Cadd9 G D
When that current got too heavy
Cadd9 G
I always thought I'd be a heap of metal
D Em
In a cloud of smoke pushed up to the pedal
Cadd9 G D
Sold for parts like a junk yard rusted out Chevy
Cadd9 G D Em
Fear I've had none what the hell made you wanna love
Cadd9 D
A man who was gonna die young
verse 2
G Cadd9
In the mirror I saw my surprise
D Em
Who knew gray hairs liked to hide
Cadd9 G D
On a head didn't think he'd live past thirty
G Cadd9 D Em
If I make it thirty more it's the brown that you'll be looking for
Cadd9 G D
As your run your fingers through it and say slow down honey
Cadd9 G
I put the rage in the river and the roll in the thunder
D Em
But you kept me from going under
Cadd9 G D
When that current got too heavy
Cadd9 G
I always thought I'd be a heap of metal
D Em
In a cloud of smoke pushed up to the pedal
Cadd9 G D
Sold for parts like a junk yard rusted out Chevy
Cadd9 G D Em
Fear I've had none what the hell made you wanna love
Cadd9 D
A man who was gonna die young
verse 3/ Outro
G Cadd9
Call it intuition or call it crazy
D Em
Just thought by now I'd be pushing up daisies
Cadd9 G D
But i'd gladly stick around if we're together
G Cadd9
So baby when you bow your head tonight
D Em
Could you tell the lord I've changed my mind
Cadd9 D
And with you I'd Like to Live Forever
G Cadd9 D Em G Cadd9 D
