A Man Who Was Gonna Die Young Eric Church
Capo 4
[G]I like fast cars, and sharp[C] dreams
[D]chased a lot of crazy t[G]hings
[C]left behind my share of broken pieces[D]
[G]this morning I turned 36, and yo[C]u just r[D]emember half of it[G]
[C]you wonder how you out-lived Hank and Jesus [D]
I put the rag[C]e in a river, the roll in a [D]thunder
but you kep[G]t me from goin' under,[C]
[C]when that current got too heavy[D]
I [C]always thought I'd be a heap[D] of metal
in a cl[G]oud of smoke, foot stuck to the p[C]edal
[C]Sold for parts like a junkyard rusted-out Chevy[D]
[C]Fear, I've had none[Am]
what the hell made yo[C]u want to love
a m[C]an, who was gonna die [G]young[D]
[G]In the mirror, I saw my surp[C]rise
[D]who knew gray hairs lik[G]ed to hide, on a head[C]
that didn't think he'd live past thirty[D]
[G]If I make it thi[C]rty more, it's the brown that[D] you'll be looking for[G]
as you run y[C]our fingers through, say "slow down, honey" [D]
I put the rag[C]e in a river, the roll in a [D]thunder
but you kep[G]t me from goin' under,[C]
[C]when that current got too heavy[D]
I [C]always thought I'd be a heap[D] of metal
in a cl[G]oud of smoke, foot stuck to the p[C]edal
[C]Sold for parts like a junkyard rusted-out Chevy[D]
[C]Fear, I've had none[Am]
what the hell made yo[C]u want to love
a m[C]an, who was gonna die [G]young[D]
Call it int[G]uition, or ca[C]ll it crazy
just th[D]ought by now I'd be pushing up dais[G]ies
but I'd[C] gladly stick around if we're together[D]
So baby when [G]you bow your head tonight[C]
could you tell th[D]e Lord I've changed my m[G]ind?
And wi[C]th you I'd like to [D]live, forever[G]
