         G                      D                      A
Well you know, I was always the first to arrive at the party,
    G          D                              A
Ooh... and the last to leave the scene of the crime.
        G                        Bm
Well it started with a couple of beers,
       G                          B
And it went I don't know how many years,
       G             A                         D
Like a runaway train headed for the end of the line.  0:47

      G                            D                    A
But I thought it was just too damn big of a mountain to climb.
       G                              Bm
Well I got down on my knees and said "Hey!
  G                            B
I just can't go on living this way!"
        G                        A                 D

       G                        D                         A
When I used to put the blame on everybody's shoulders but mine.
        G                              Bm
All the friends I used to run with are gone,
        G                             B
Lord, I hadn't planned on livin' this long.

       G                            Bm
It was something I was too blind to see,
      G                                B
I got help from something greater than me...
      G                        A                 D
And today I learned to live my life one day at a time!   3:18
