I've Been There
by:  Kenny Chesney
Capo 2nd Fret

D                   G
No I ain't had nothing to drink
A                               D
I knew thats probably what you'd think
G               A                    D
If I dropped by this time of night
D               G
Remember way back when
A                     D
I promised you I'd drop in
G                      A                             D
At one of those meetings down at the Y
         G                                 A
Well,  they started talkin bout steps you take
     D                A
Mistakes you make 
       D              G
The hearts you break
            D              G
And the price you pay
              A
I almost walked away
               G
You could hear a pin drop
          A
When this old man
   D               A                    D          G
Stood up and said I'm gonna' say it again
         D            G
Like I do every week
                     A
For those who don't know me

D                   G
It's the simple things in life
             A                           D
Like the kids at home and a loving wife
               G                                   A
That you miss the most,  when you lose control
              G                                 A
And everything you love starts to disappear
       D                     A            D           G
The devil takes your hand and says no fear
          D          G           A
Have another shot,  just one more beer
                      G                          A                    D
Yah,  I've been there,                       that's why I'm here

D                          G
This ole boy stood up in the aisle
A                               D
Said he'd been living a life of denial
            G               A                           D
And he cried as he talked about wasted years
D                G
I couldn't believe what I heard
A                   D
It was my life word for word
G                                       A
And all of the sudden it was clear

D                   G
It's the simple things in life
             A                           D
Like the kids at home and a loving wife
              G                                    A
That you miss the most,  when you lose control
              G                                 A
And everything you love starts to disappear
        D                     A            D         G
The devil takes your hand and says no fear
          D         G            A
Have another shot,  just one more beer
                       G                   A                       D
Yah,  I've been there,                  that's why I'm here

G                                     A
I know for us it may be too late
                   G
But it would mean the world to me
                 D                             A
If you were there when I stand to say

D                   G
It's the simple things in life
             A                           D
Like the kids at home and a loving wife
               G                                   A
That you miss the most,  when you lose control
              G                                   A
And everything you love starts to disappear
       D                     A            D           G
The devil takes your hand and says no fear
         D          G            A
Have another shot,  just one more beer
                       G                 A                       D        A
D 
Yah,  I've been there,                 that's why I'm here
                     G                   A                       D
Oh,  I've been there,                   thats why I'm here
