Intro
C#
Verse
Well, I’d wrC#eck that better day Chevrolet
A thG#ousand times, a thousand ways
Just to fA#meel the kind of way it made me fF#eel
Behind that wheel
And I’d brC#eak my heart come every Fall
To tG#aste that summer and the alcohol
On lA#mips that said, “I love you”, but never will F#
I’d kiss her still
Pre-Chorus
With a hC#eart wide open, I’ll go down goin’
I’d rG#ather drown dreamin’ than to stay dry hopin’
I’d rA#mather steal time, than have mine stolen
I’d rF#ather live
Chorus
A life I can lC#earn with, swerve with, twist and turn with
TG#ake a ninety mile an hour curve with
The lA#monger I, longer I live
The more that I, mF#ore that I wish
For some friends I can sC#ip with, take a fifth with
Find a girl I can kG#iss through the thin and the thick with
With the one lA#mife I get (With the one life I get)
I want a lifF#e I can live
Not just a life I can lC#ive with (Ooh-ooh-G#ooh)
Not just a life I can lA#mive with (Ooh-ooh-F#ooh, ooh)
Verse
I’d rC#ather be a leavin’ town silhouette
TG#aillights burnin’ like cigarettes
Wastin’ gA#mood gas on a bad bet
Than to dF#ie knowin’ I never lived
Chorus
A life I can lC#earn with, swerve with, twist and turn with
TG#ake a ninety mile an hour curve with
The lA#monger I, longer I live
The more that I, mF#ore that I wish
For some friends I can sC#ip with, take a fifth with
Find a girl I can kG#iss through the thin and the thick with
With the one lA#mife I get (With the one life I get)
I want a life F#I can live
Not just a life I can lC#ive with (Ooh-ooh-G#ooh)
Not just a life I can lA#mive with (Ooh-ooh-F#ooh, ooh)
Bridge
With a hC#eart wide open, I’ll go down goin’
I’d rG#ather drown dreamin’ than to stay dry hopin’
I’d rA#mather steal time, than have mine stolen
I’d rF#ather live
Chorus
A life I can lC#earn with, swerve with, twist and turn with
TG#ake a ninety mile an hour curve with
The lA#monger I, longer I live
The more that I, mF#ore that I wish
For some friends I can sC#ip with, take a fifth with
Find a girl I can kG#iss through the thin and the thick with
With the one lA#mife I get (With the one life I get)
I want a life F#I can live
Not just a life I can lC#ive with (Ooh-ooh-G#ooh)
