Startin' With Me
Capo 4th Fret
[Intro]
G Em
GI had a one night stand with my best friend's baby sister
EmTo this day he still won't speak to me
CI pawned my grandpa's old guitar in college
DFor a case of beer and a tank of gasoline
GI took a swing at my old man one Christmas
EmI never dreamed that it would be his last
CI wish mom had rung my neck when she caught me with those cigarettes
DWhich reminds me, I'm down to my last pack
GIf I had a dime, for half thEme things I Ddid
ThCat didn't make no sense at all,
I'd be livin' a little higher on Dthe hog
GIf only I'd a known, that laBmter on down the road
EmI'd look back and not Dlike what I seeC  
I'd Ama changed a lot of things, Dstartin' wiGth me
GI called my brother everything I could think of
EmThe night he wouldn't bail me out of jail
CI lost a job most folks 'round here would die for
DBy layin' out all night and raisin' hell
GI let a woman that I love slip through my fingers
EmChalk another dumb move up to my foolish pride
CI wasn't there standin' by the bed, when the preacher bowed his head
DWith the family, the day my grandma died
GIf I had a dime, for half the thEmings I Ddid
ThCat didn't make no sense at all,
I'd be livin' a little higher on Dthe hog
GIf only I'd a known, that later oBmn down the road
EmI'd look back and not liDke what I seeC  
I'd Ama changed a lot of things, sDtartin' with Gme

Startin' With Me

Capo 4th Fret

[Intro]

G Em

I had a one night stand with my best friend's baby sister

To this day he still won't speak to me

I pawned my grandpa's old guitar in college

For a case of beer and a tank of gasoline

I took a swing at my old man one Christmas

I never dreamed that it would be his last

I wish mom had rung my neck when she caught me with those cigarettes

Which reminds me, I'm down to my last pack

G Em D

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 hog

G Bm

If only I'd a known, that later on down the road

Em D C

I'd look back and not like what I see

Am D G

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

G Em D

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 hog

G Bm

If only I'd a known, that later on down the road

Em D C

I'd look back and not like what I see

Am D G

I'd a changed a lot of things, startin' with me

[Solo]

G Em C D

G Bm

If only I'd a known, that later on down the road

Em D C

I'd look back and not like what I see

Am D G

I'd a changed a lot of things, startin' with me

Startin' with me

[Outro]
