Intro - Cadd9 - G - D - Cadd9 - G - D


(verse 1)
      Cadd9           G    D
I've treated this ol body like a stolen car,
Cadd9             G         D
Just some old disposable machine,
Cadd9          G            D
 Pedal to the metal and a trail of broken hearts,
        Cadd9              G        D
Yea I'd fill it up with almost anything,
     F             G                 D
My motto was live fast and go out strong,
      Cadd9                    G          D
But I never thought that I'd live this long,


(verse 2)
Cadd9         G              D
Once I had a woman and she treated me real good,
    Cadd9         G            D
The kinda love I never will replace,
Cadd9              G                  D
 One day I thought I ain't seen the world the way I should,
  Cadd9            G              D
So one night I got up and steped away,
   F                    G              D
I knew there'd be some lonely's commin on,
      Cadd9                    G         D
But I never thought that I'd live this long,


(chorus)
 D                   Cadd9                       G/B
There have been many times I really should have died,
     D          Cadd9            Cadd9-G/B-cadd9-G/B-Cadd9-D
But somehow I survived on my mistakes,
     D                Cadd9                           G/B
They say it makes me stronger, but why does it take longer,
       Bb           Bb-C-D
Gettin up these days,


(lead - D - Cadd9 - G/B-G6/A - D - Cadd9 - G/B-G6/A - D)


(verse 3)
Cadd9      G             D
  Yea I'm old enough to have a few regrets,
   Cadd9         G                  D
I'm still young enough to have my dreams,
Cadd9              G             D
Maybe that's the reason that my life ain't over yet,
         Cadd9      G             D
All the places and faces I ain't seen,
    F                   G               D
I probably won't have time to see them all,
     Dm                            Cadd9         D
But then again I never thought I'd live this long,


Outro - D - Cadd9 - G/B-G6/A - D
