Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse

It's true that I used to be crazy

 and harder to love than most men

 but the blood that ran through these tired old hands

 was harder and wilder back then

and I don't feel as tall as I used to

maybe it's just that you've grown

you're the one that held my hand when I fell

when I just couldn't make it alone

Chorus

I've lived out all the stories

sang all the old songs

 It takes one to know me

I guess you're the one

Verse 2

My daughters are ladies of fortune

My son is an heir to the throne

and this crown that I hold is

tarnished and cold

but it's a symbol of all that I own

sometimes i wish i was younger

and could pick up the peices and run

but then i look back on the matter of fact

and it's a race that i've already won

Chorus

Repeat chorus

 End on
