"Back When I Knew it All"
Back When I Knew It All, 2008
In some of the lines in the verses, the G after the Em is optional.
In the recorded track, it's just an Em, but when you're playing it solo,
it sounds better to play the G after. This is also true for the
asterisked A chords in the verses.
Intro: D A Em G
[D] [A] [G]
VERSE 1
[D]At the ripe old [A]age of [Em]nine[G]teen
D A Em G*
I bought a short bed pickup chicks machine
[D]Life ran on [A]beer and [Em]gaso[G]line
G A*
A half a lap ahead of the law
[D]I had a fake I[A]D that got me [Em]into [G]Tuffyâ??s
D A Em G*
Love was a word I used to get lucky
[D]Was a big time s[A]pender with [Em]that pl[G]astic money
Back when I [A]knew it all
CHORUS:
[D]Back [A]when the [Em]world was [G]flat and
[D]Mama and [A]Daddy didn't [Em]have a [G]clue
[D]Back [A]when a [Em]pitcher of[G] beer and a couple shots made me[A] bulletproof
[G]Back when [D/F#]God was a name I [Em]used in vain to get a [D/F#]point across when
I got[G] ticked off
[G]Lord I'm learning so much [A]more...than back when I knew it all
[D] [A] [Em] [G]
[D] [A] [G]
VERSE 2
[D]I found out credit [A]cards don't [Em]mean you're[G] rich
And [D]beer and [A]gasol[Em]ine don't[G] mix
D A Em G*
Yeah step side trucks can't jump a ditch
G A*
And those "big house" rooms sure are small
I've learned that [D]love is a [A]woman that will [Em]settle you[G] down
D A Em G*
A Sunday sermon can turn life around
[D]Man I can't [A]believe all the [Em]answers I've[G] found
Since ....back when I [A]knew it all
[D]Back [A]when the [Em]world was [G]flat and
[D]Mama and [A]Daddy didn't [Em]have a [G]clue
[D]Back [A]when a [Em]pitcher of [G]beer and a couple shots made me[A] bulletproof
[G]Back when [D/F#]God was a name I [Em]used in vain to get a [D/F#]point across when
I got[G] ticked off
[G]Lord I'm learning so much [A]more...than back when I knew it all
BRIDGE:
[Em]I've done some growing up
[D/F#]And I'm still growing up
[G]So I know I'll never be as [A]smart as I once was
That wa[D]s back.......
[D]Back [A]when the [Em]world was [G]flat and
[D]Mama and [A]Daddy didn't [Em]have a [G]clue
[D]Back [A]when a [Em]pitcher of [G]beer and a couple shots made me[A] bulletproof
[G]Back when [D/F#]God was a name I [Em]used in vain to get a [D/F#]point across when
I got [G]ticked off
[G]Lord I'm learning so much [A]more...than back when I knew it all
