Intro 1

Verse 1
A 
We left
G 
the shack in the Rambler
D 
and we tumbled up north on one
A 
A half -shell barbecue,
G 
third honeymoon,
A 
and a sleepy son
Em 
G 
We pulled along and wandered on
D 
about a year or so
Bm 
But when the sun was low,
Em 
the ditch was deep,
A 
G 
and the glow the first to go
A 
G 
Drove past the can once and again
D 
without a blink or a breath
A 
Found the last room in town
G 
A 
and settled in for a little rest
Em 
G 
But not before the big red barn
D 
and tequila tears
Bm 
Em 
And I   feel so much lighter now
A 
than in my younger years
D 
G 
Cause I'm younger now,
Em 
history my dear friend
G 
D 
Bm 
Years away, you say my  name,
A 
I'm settled down
G 
D 
G 
But I won't give up again
Em 
G 
D 
Bm 
A 
G 
A 
G 
Years of trouble from a broken promise
D 
and a dropped jar
A 
G 
At 17 I never stopped to think
A 
that I'd have made it that far
Em 
G 
Who's to know we'd all built our lives
D 
on chaos and luck
Bm 
Em 
I never knew the heart could
A 
take such a beatin'
G 
And still be so much after
A 
the stop sign night
G 
and a highway cry
D 
Well dear, we're still here
A 
And sometimes I wonder
G 
what I was thinkin' of
A 
In that sinkhole year
Em 
G 
Well, Chico's gone like a  shadow
D 
on the wall in our room tonight
Bm 
And one of these days as
Em 
the daylight fades
A 
I'm just gonna lie down, dear,
and turn out the light
D 
G 
Cuz I'm younger now,
Em 
G 
my history my dear friend
D 
Bm 
Years away, you say my  name,
A 
I'm settled down
G 
D 
G 
Em 
G 
D 
Bm 
A 
But I won't give up again

Bm 
Em 
A 
G 
A 
G 
We I  know I stay out too late,
D 
delighting once in a while
A 
G 
But we both know the temptation
A 
of a stone -drunk, sad,
bitter friend's smile
G 
Em 
The stars around him
G 
D 
and I am too dear, I dream of you
Bm 
A 
And I miss you more as
Em 
that wicked sun
A 
D 
Chews away at our precious moon
G 
And I'm younger now,
Em 
G 
history my dear friend
D 
Bm 
Years away you say my  name and
A 
G 
Settle down, but I won't give
D 
G 
Em 
G 
up again
D 
Bm 
Here's the way you say my name
A 
G
