song by my favorite singer eric church!

capo 3
verse 1

G Cadd9
i like fast cars and sharp dreams
D Em
chased a lot of crazy things
Cadd9 G D
left behind my share of broken pieces
G Cadd9
this morning i turned 36
D Em
you just remember half of it
Cadd9 G D
you wonder how you out lived hank or jesus

( chorus )

Cadd9 G
i put the rage in the river and the roll in the thunder
D Em
but you kept me from going under
Cadd9 G D
when that current got too heavy
Cadd9 G
i always thought i’d be a heap of metal
D Em
in a cloud of smoke pushed up to the pedal
Cadd9 G D
sold for parts like a junk yard rusted out chevy
Cadd9 G D Em
fear i’ve had none what the hell made you wanna love
Cadd9 D
a man who was gonna die young

verse 2

G Cadd9
in the mirror i saw my surprise
D Em
who knew gray hairs liked to hide
Cadd9 G D
on a head didn’t think he’d live past thirty
G Cadd9 D Em
if i make it thirty more it’s the brown that you’ll be looking for
Cadd9 G D
as your run your fingers through it and say slow down honey

chorus

Cadd9 G
i put the rage in the river and the roll in the thunder
D Em
but you kept me from going under
Cadd9 G D
when that current got too heavy
Cadd9 G
i always thought i’d be a heap of metal
D Em
in a cloud of smoke pushed up to the pedal
Cadd9 G D
sold for parts like a junk yard rusted out chevy
Cadd9 G D Em
fear i’ve had none what the hell made you wanna love
Cadd9 D
a man who was gonna die young

verse 3/ outro

G Cadd9
call it intuition or call it crazy
D Em
just thought by now i’d be pushing up daisies
Cadd9 G D
but i’d gladly stick around if we’re together
G Cadd9
so baby when you bow your head tonight
D Em
could you tell the lord i’ve changed my mind
Cadd9 D
and with you i’d like to live forever

G Cadd9 D Em G Cadd9 D
