[Intro]
Cadd9   G   D   Cadd9   G   D
[Verse 1]
I've tCadd9reated this ol bGody lDike a stolen car,
Cadd9Just some old dispGosable macDhine,
 Cadd9Pedal to the mGetal and a trDail of broken hearts,
Yea I'd Cadd9fill it up with almGost anythDing,
My moFtto was live fGast and go out strDong,
But I Cadd9never thought that I'd liGve this lonDg,
[Verse 2]
Cadd9Once I had a wGoman and she trDeated me real good,
The Cadd9kinda love I nGever will repDlace,
 Cadd9One day I thought GI ain't seen the woDrld the way I should,
So Cadd9one night I got Gup and steped aDway,
I kFnew there'd be some lGonely's commin Don,
But I Cadd9never thought that I'd liGve this loDng,
[Chorus
TDhere have been many Cadd9times I really should have dG/Bied,
But sDomehow I suCadd9rvived on my mistCadd9akes,G/B  Cadd9  G/B  Cadd9  D  
They Dsay it makes me sCadd9tronger, but why does it take loG/Bnger,
Gettin Bbup these daysBb,C  D

D Cadd9 G/B G6/A  D   Cadd9   G/B G6/A   D
[Verse 3]
  Cadd9Yea I'm oGld enough to hDave a few regrets,
I'm Cadd9still young eGnough to have my drDeams,
Cadd9Maybe that's the reGason that my lDife ain't over yet,
All the pCadd9laces and fGaces I ain't sDeen,
I prFobably won't have tiGme to see them aDll,
But tDmhen again I never thought I'd Cadd9live this longD,

[Intro]

Cadd9 G D Cadd9 G D

[Verse 1]

Cadd9 G D

I've treated this ol body like a stolen car,

Cadd9 G D

Just some old disposable machine,

Cadd9 G D

Pedal to the metal and a trail of broken hearts,

Cadd9 G D

Yea I'd fill it up with almost anything,

F G D

My motto was live fast and go out strong,

Cadd9 G D

But I never thought that I'd live this long,

[Verse 2]

Cadd9 G D

Once I had a woman and she treated me real good,

Cadd9 G D

The kinda love I never will replace,

Cadd9 G D

One day I thought I ain't seen the world the way I should,

Cadd9 G D

So one night I got up and steped away,

F G D

I knew there'd be some lonely's commin on,

Cadd9 G D

But I never thought that I'd live this long,

[Chorus

D Cadd9 G/B

There have been many times I really should have died,

D Cadd9 Cadd9 G/B Cadd9 G/B Cadd9 D

But somehow I survived on my mistakes,

D Cadd9 G/B

They say it makes me stronger, but why does it take longer,

Bb Bb C D

Gettin up these days,

[lead]

D Cadd9 G/B G6/A D Cadd9 G/B G6/A D

[Verse 3]

Cadd9 G D

Yea I'm old enough to have a few regrets,

Cadd9 G D

I'm still young enough to have my dreams,

Cadd9 G D

Maybe that's the reason that my life ain't over yet,

Cadd9 G D

All the places and faces I ain't seen,

F G D

I probably won't have time to see them all,

Dm Cadd9 D

But then again I never thought I'd live this long,

[Outro]

D Cadd9 G/B G6/A D
