[Intro] G
[Primeira Parte]
G
I took a wrong turn down a dead-end street
C
And fell into another bar
C
I shook off the rain, pulled up a seat
G
And drowned my weary heart
G
An old man sat down next to me
C
With years etched on his face
C
He said "You better take it easy son
G
Or you'll never leave this place"
G
I laughed and bought another drink
C
And a double for him Too
C
I told him all my struggles
G
And the hell I'm going through
Em D
The broken dreams, the things I've seen
C
And the people I've let down
C
Hе raised a glass and half a smile
D
And bought another round
[Refrão]
G
And hе said, "Don't tell me
C
'Cause you know I wrote the book"
G D
"And trouble's been my shadow for so long"
G
"But the words I wrote
C Am
They won't do you any good"
C D
"You gotta live your life
D G
Before you're dead and gone"
[Segunda Parte]
G
We laughed and cried for hours
C
As we drank away the night
C
He spoke of sins and celebrations
G
The stories of his life
Em D
"Son, you think you've got it tough
C
As bad as it can get"
C
"But I've seen my share of ups and downs
D
And you ain't seen nothing yet"
D
"You ain't seen nothing yet"
[Refrão]
G
So hе said, "Don't tell me
C
'Cause you know I wrote the book"
G D
"And trouble's been my shadow for so long"
G
"But the words I wrote
C Am
They won't do you any good"
C D
"You gotta live your life
D G
Before you're dead and gone"

[Ponte]
Em
The lights go up
D
We've had too much
C
And everyone's gone home
C
But let's have one more for the good times
D
And one more for the road
D
One more for the road
[Refrão]
G
So hе said, "Don't tell me
C
'Cause you know I wrote the book"

"And trouble's been my shadow for so long"

Before you're dead and gone"
