Intro: B G#m 

B 
I had a one night stand with my best friend's baby sister 
G#m 
To this day he still won't speak to me 
E 
I pawned my grandpa's old guitar in college 
F# 
For a case of beer and a tank of gasoline 


B 
I took a swing at my old man one Christmas 
G#m 
I never dreamed that it would be his last 
E 
I wish mom had rung my neck when she caught me with those cigarettes 
F# 
Which reminds me, I'm down to my last pack 


B                           G#m      ( F# ) 
If I had a dime, for half the things I did 
  E                      
That didn't make no sense at all,  
                                F# 
I'd be livin' a little higher on the hog 
B                           D#m7 
If only I'd a known, that later on down the road 
G#m                    F#               E   
I'd look back and not like what I see 
    C#m                        F#           B 
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 

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 hall 

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

I'd look back and not like what I see 

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

(solo) 
B G#m E F# 


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

I'd look back and not like what I see 

I'd a changed a lot of things, startin' with me 
G#m 
Startin' with me
