Standard (EADGBE)
(G---C) x2
G Eighteen was a D rocket ride
Em I lit the fuse and I C held on tight
G Every day was a D Friday night
And Em I got the scars to C prove it
G It all blew up at D 25
Em Saw those telephone poles C flying by
And G I don't remember D much that night
I'm just C lucky I C/B got C through it
(Chorus)
And G I let it D run like an open vein
Am Loved the pleasure and C cursed the pain
G Oh D foolish things I've C done (C/B-C)
I'm too old now to die young
G Woke up alone at D 35
Em Just across town from C my ex-wife
I G get my two kids every D Friday night
And I Em work all week to do it C
Their G momma and me couldn't D work it out
Oh but Em that don't seem to C matter now
G They're all that I D care about
And I C got their C/B love C to prove it
