[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
       G                      Em
It's true that I used to be crazy
       C                      D      D7
And harder to love than most men
           G       B7                 Em
But the blood that ran through these tired old hands
       C                     D
Was hotter and wilder back then
    G                      Em
I don't feel as tall as I used to
  C                          D      D7
Maybe it's just that you've grown
            G        B7      Em
You're the one that held my hand when I fell
        C                     D
When I just couldn't make it alone
[Chorus]
C                        G
I've lived out all the stories
C             G
Sang all the old songs
C                G
It takes one to know me
D                   G
I guess you're the one
[Bridge]
G            C
Hmm Hmm Hmm Hmm
             G
Hmm Hmm Hmm Hmm
             D
Hmm Hmm Hmm Hmm
             G
Hmm Hmm Hmm Hmm
[Verse 2]
       G                      Em
My daughters are ladies of fortune
    C                      D      D7
My son is an heir to the throne
           G           B7         Em
And this crown that I hold is tarnished and cold
            C                    D
But it's a symbol of all that I own
    G                    Em
Sometimes I wish I was younger
            C                     D      D7
And could pick up the pieces and run
     G           B7           Em
But then I look back on the matter of fact
             C                     D
And it's a race that I've already won
[Chorus]
C                         G
I've lived out all the stories
C             G
Sang all the old songs
C                G
It takes one to know me
D                   G
I guess you're the one
C                         G
I've lived out all the stories
C             G
Sang all the old songs
C                G
It takes one to know me
D                    G
And June you're the one
