*note: The first six VERSE chord names aren't necessarily accurate, I just named them
after the two notes you are fretting
[Intro]
G/B F#/A E/G D/F# C/E
G/B F#/A E/G D/F# C/G
[Verse 1]
G/B F#/A E/G D/F# C/E
Staring at the pictures of the runaways on the wall
G/B F#/A E/G D/F# C/G
Seems like, these days, you couldn't run away at all
G/B F#/A E/G D/F# C/E
Even if you did, what you got to run away to
G/B F#/A E/G D/F# C/G
Just another drunk daddy with a white man's point of view
[Verse 2]
G/B F#/A E/G D/F# C/E
I can see you in my mind's eye, catching light
G/B F#/A E/G D/F# C/G
Sleep beside the river if we make it out of town tonight
G/B F#/A E/G D/F# C/E
You can strip in Portland from the day you turn sixteen
G/B F#/A E/G D/F# C/G
You got one thing to sell and benzodiazepine
[Chorus]
D G/B Cadd9
Ten years ago I might have seen you dancing in a different light,
D G/B Cadd9
and offered up my help in different ways,
G/B F#/A E/G D/F# C/E
but those were different days
G/B F#/A E/G D/F# C/G
Those were different days
[Verse 3]
G/B F#/A E/G D/F# C/E
Had a girl back home and we shared her single bed
G/B F#/A E/G D/F# C/G
When I whispered in her ear, she believed every word I said
G/B F#/A E/G D/F# C/E
If she didn't believe, she didn't dare give me slack
G/B F#/A E/G D/F# C/G
Or it was "Baby, I love you, get off of my goddamn back"
G/B F#/A E/G D/F# C/E
Time went by and I left and I left again
G/B F#/A E/G D/F# C/G
Jesus loves a sinner but the highway loves a sin
G/B F#/A E/G D/F# C/E
My daddy told me, I believe he told me true that:
G/B F#/A E/G D/F# C/G
"The right thing's always the hardest thing to do"
[Chorus]
D G/B Cadd9
Ten years ago I might have stuck around for another night,
D G/B Cadd9
and used her in a thousand different ways,
G/B F#/A E/G D/F# C/E
but those were different days
G/B F#/A E/G D/F# C/G
Those were different days
[Bridge]
D G/B Cadd9 G
And the story's only mine to live and die with
D G/B Cadd9 G
The answer's only mine to come across,
D G/B Cadd9 G
but the ghosts that I got scared and I got high with
D Cadd9
look a little lost
[Chorus]
D G/B Cadd9
Ten years ago I might have thought I didn't have the right
D G/B Cadd9
To say the things an outlaw wouldn't say,
G/B F#/A E/G D/F# C/E
But those were different days
G/B F#/A E/G D/F# C/G
Those were different days
G/B F#/A E/G D/F# C/E
Those were different days
G/B F#/A E/G D/F# C/G
