I jotted these chords down while watching a video of him playing. The chords are exact,
the timing however, may be a tad off. Just play around with it until you find what works
for you. Enjoy
Intro: G-D-G-D-G-Cm-G-D-G-Cm-G
IGt was my senior year
I just turCned eighGteen
I Cmwas a friday night heGro, with diviDsion one dreGams
IG had an offer on the table
AC four year rGide
'Til that Cmfourth and tGwo and twentyD four diGve
CHORUS:
I leDft on a stretcher, wound uCp on a cruGtch
Walked oDn that next summer
Wound uCp getting cGut
I fliCmpped off that coDach, left that scChool in the duGst
For lettAming my dreCmams go bCust
C D (one strum) G
But I thank God I ain't what I almost was
YeGa, I moved on back home
And came aCwful cloGse
to being sCmome son-in-laGw to sDome CGEO
CoulGda been a corner office, country club, suCit and tie mGan
AnswerCmin' to no one,D but her and hGim
CHORUS:
I ran oDut on his money, raCn out on her lGove
At foDur in the morning I loCaded my trGuck
I lCmeft my home tDown in a bCig cloud of dGust
I jAmust had to foCmllow my gCut
C D (one strum)
And I thank God I ain't what I almost was
In a guGitar town I bought this oCld EpipGhone
Started strCmingin' chords and woDrds into soGngs
I've been puGtting in time on SixtCeenth AvGenue
Pouring oCmut my heart for tDips on a stGool
I ain't maDking a killing, but tChen there's those niGghts
When the sDong comes together and hCits 'em just riGght
The crCmowds on their fDeet cause they cCan't get enoGugh
Of this mAmusic I mCmake and I lCove
And I thCank God I ain't, yea I thCmank God I ain't,
Yea man I thCank God I ain't,D what I almost wGas
