GAll my lives are Ccoming through And, Geven though there D7/F#isn’t room Am D7 G Fill 1 I save seats for my selves Am D7 G Fill 1 Invite them in, wish them well Am G D Fill 2 The way I feel & the way I guess I felt
CI was 23 & Gcrazy CFrightened, overwhelmed, and Gangry CYou said, “That’s not B7how I see you You Emtreat yourself unA7fairly Don’t Emtreat yourself unA7fairly.”
[Chorus]
I was aClive Gback D7/F#then I was aClive Gback D7/F#then C G D7/F# Fill 3 I was alive back then G Fill 4 I remember when
GIt was Christmas CWe were wrestlers GBay Ridge Parkway D7/F#Our apartment Am D7 G Fill 1 We were fast & best friends Am D7 G Fill 1 We were just little kids AmYou were Lenny Dykstra G D Fill 2 I was Wally Backman
CThis was before I got so Glonely CWith my lovers, with my Gfamily CScared of living B7Scared of dying EmScared of being A7happy I couldn't Emlet myself be A7happy
[Chorus]
I was aClive Gback D7/F#then I was aClive Gback D7/F#then C G D7/F# Fill 3 I was alive back then G Fill 4 I remember when
GI was 20 CKolankowski GAsked me who I D7/F#thought I’d marry Am D7 G Fill 1 I answered your name Am D7 G Fill 1 Years before we would date Am G D Fill 2 Years before he’d officiate our wedding
You Cnever “know” You’re never “Gready” CBut all your fear is just conGfetti CLet it blow all 'B7round your bedroom EmWhen it gets too A7heavy Don’t Emlet it get too A7heavy
[Chorus]
I was aClive Gback D7/F#then I was aClive Gback D7/F#then I was aClive Gback D7/F#then
CNo one asks you if you’re Gready CWhen they’re handing you the Gbaby CMy mother said, “Son, you B7can’t imagine You’ll Emhave your mind blown, A7honey You’ll be Emcrazy in love, A7honey.”
[Chorus]
I was aClive Gback D7/F#then I was aClive Gback D7/F#then C G D7/F# Fill 3 I was alive back then I remember Emwhen B7 G A7 C G D Fill 3 I was alive back then Fill 4 G Now, I am again
