Capo 2nd Fret
DNo I ain't had nothiGng to drink
AI knew thats probably what you'd Dthink
GIf I dropped by Athis time of nightD  
DRemember way bacGk when
AI promised you I'd droDp in
GAt one of those meetingAs down at the YD  
Well,  thGey started talkin bout steps you tAake
MistaDkes you make A  
The heaDrts you breakG  
And the pricDe you payG  
I almost walkeAd away
You could hear Ga pin drop
When this Aold man
StoDod up and said IA'm gonna' say it agaiDnG  
Like I do Devery weekG  
For those who don't kAnow me
DIt's the simple thinGgs in life
Like the kids Aat home and a loving wifeD  
That you miss tGhe most,  when you lose controlA  
And everything Gyou love starts to disappearA  
The devDil takes your hand and Asays no fearD  G  
Have anothDer shot,  jGust one more Abeer
Yah,  I've been there,                       GthatA's why I'm hereD  
DThis ole boy stood up in thGe aisle
ASaid he'd been living a life of Ddenial
And he cried Gas he talked abAout wasted yearsD  
DI couldn't believGe what I heard
AIt was my life word Dfor word
GAnd all of the sudden it was clearA  
DIt's the simple thinGgs in life
Like the kids Aat home and a loving wifeD  
That you miss Gthe most,  when you lose controlA  
And everything Gyou love starts to disappearA  
The deviDl takes your hand and Asays no fearD  G  
Have anothDer shot,  Gjust one more Abeer
Yah,  I've been there,                  GthaAt's why I'm hereD  
GI know for us it may be too lateA  
But it would mean tGhe world to me
If you were there Dwhen I stand to sayA  
DIt's the simple thinGgs in life
Like the kids Aat home and a loving wifeD  
That you miss tGhe most,  when you lose controlA  
And everything Gyou love starts to disappearA  
The devDil takes your hand and Asays no fearD  G  
Have anotDher shot,  Gjust one more Abeer
G A D A
DYah,  I've been there,                 that's why I'm here
Oh,  I've been there,                   GtAhats why I'm here D
