_ Livin' hard was easy when I was [G] young and bulletproof

Thought I would [D] die at 25, [G] or was it [D] 26?

[A] Meltin' into memories [C] like somebody [F] [D] else's life
[A] I'm [Dm] _ [G]

I'd like [D] to do the try [G] at 25, [C]
or was [D] it 26?
_ I _ _ _ _ met a girl from Georgia, [C] smart and [G] pretty, college grad
I thought my luck was changin' up till then, [F] it all [D] been bad _ _
