Intro: G 

Verse 1:

G I took a wrong turn down a dead-end street C And fell into another bar C I shook off the rain, pulled up a seat G And drowned my weary heart G An old man sat down next to me C With years etched on his face C He said 'You better take it easy son G Or you'll never leave this place' G I laughed and bought another drink C And a double for him Too C I told him all my struggles G And the hell I'm going through Em D The broken dreams, the things I've seen C And the people I've let down C Hе raised a glass and half a smile D And bought another round
G And hе said, 'Don't tell me C 'Cause you know I wrote the book' G D 'And trouble's been my shadow for so long' G 'But the words I wrote C Am They won't do you any good' C D 'You gotta live your life D G Before you're dead and gone'

Verse 2:

G We laughed and cried for hours C As we drank away the night C He spoke of sins and celebrations G The stories of his life Em D 'Son, you think you've got it tough C As bad as it can get' C 'But I've seen my share of ups and downs D And you ain't seen nothing yet' D 'You ain't seen nothing yet'
G So hе said, 'Don't tell me C 'Cause you know I wrote the book' G D 'And trouble's been my shadow for so long' G 'But the words I wrote C Am They won't do you any good' C D 'You gotta live your life D G Before you're dead and gone'
Solo: G C G D G C Am C D G

Bridge:

Em The lights go up D We've had too much C And everyone's gone home C But let's have one more for the good times D And one more for the road D One more for the road
G So hе said, 'Don't tell me C 'Cause you know I wrote the book' G D 'And trouble's been my shadow for so long' G 'But the words I wrote C Am They won't do you any good' C D 'You gotta live your life D G Before you're dead and gone' C D 'You gotta live your life D G Before you're dead and gone'
Final: C D G
