G Bm
Third night this week, I'm playin' this old bar again
C D
A young newly wed couple showed up, spotted the as soon as they walked in
G Bm
They looked so in love, young man looked up at me
C D
He threw me a five, asked if he could buy me a drink
Pre-Chorus
C D G D/F# Em
He said I wish I could sing and play guitar, man you've got it made
C D
He said, be- fore we go and toast to that, there's something I've gotta say
C G
I'd give it all, I'd give it back
C D
I'd make a call, wouldn't take me long to pack
C G
And I'd give it up, I'd give it in
C Em D
If only I could see her again
C D G D Em
It just took this long to see that this ain?ft where I need to be
C D
I've had too much fun, I'm headed north on 21

I made a lot of good friends, but lost them just as fast

You can't see the real world through the bottom of a glass

C D
Don't even call home, aint been a letter wrote
Pre-Chorus
C D G D/F# Em
But if I could see the bright lights of Mont- gomery, Alabama
C D
Take this long road back up home, and never take it down
C G
I'd give it all, I'd give it back
C D
I'd make a call, wouldn't take me long to pack
C G
And I'd give it up, I'd give it in
C Em D
If only I could see her again

It just took this long to see that this ain?ft where I need to be
C D G
I've had too much fun, I'm headed north on 21
