Dm                                 C
Livin' hard was easy, when I was young and
bulletproof
   G                                      F     Dm
I had no chains to bind me, just a guitar and a roof
                              C
Emptied every bottle, when I poured I never missed
        G                          F  Dm
I had bloodshot eyes at 25, or was it 26?

Didn't seem to matter what price I had to pay
'Cause anything worth havin', I’d just lose anyway
Friends worried about me they’d asked if I was sick
Thought I wouldn’t die at twenty-five or was
it twenty-six

Chorus:
        G                           D
Those two years run together like whiskey over ice
 A                               C   G       D
Melting in my memories like somebody else's life
      G                                 D
I'm glad to say I've come around but if I
                G
could have one wish
           D             C  G
I'd like another try at 25 or was it 26?

Met a girl from Georgia, smart and pretty,
college grad
I thought my luck was changin' but then it all
went bad
I guess I fell in love with her
all it took was just one kiss
But then she said goodbye at twenty-five or was it
twenty-six

Chorus

I've been down that road before almost as far as
hell
Deception or redemption, I guess only time will tell
I have faith and the knowledge that God gave us
a gift
I couldn't hide at twenty-five or was
it twenty-six

Chorus
