Eric Church
A Man Who Was Gonna Die Young

Capo 4 

G                          C 
I like fast cars, and sharp dreams 
D                      G
chased a lot of crazy things
C                                             D
left behind my share of broken pieces
G                               C       D                                G
this morning I turned 36, and you just remember half of it
C                                                          D
you wonder how you out-lived Hank and Jesus 

             C                           D
I put the rage in a river, the roll in a thunder
           G                     C
but you kept me from goin' under,
C                                   D
when that current got too heavy
  C                           D
I always thought I'd be a heap of metal
       G                                C
in a cloud of smoke, foot stuck to the pedal
C                                                          D
Sold for parts like a junkyard rusted-out Chevy
C                       Am
Fear, I've had none
                     C
what the hell made you want to love
   C                     G              D
a man, who was gonna die young

G                           C
In the mirror, I saw my surprise
D                      G                                   C
who knew gray hairs liked to hide, on a head
                                               D
that didn't think he'd live past thirty
G               C                            D                              G
If I make it thirty more, it's the brown that you'll be looking for
            C                                                               D
as you run your fingers through, say "slow down, honey" 


             C                           D
I put the rage in a river, the roll in a thunder
           G                     C
but you kept me from goin' under,
C                                   D
when that current got too heavy
  C                           D
I always thought I'd be a heap of metal
       G                                C
in a cloud of smoke, foot stuck to the pedal
C                                                          D
Sold for parts like a junkyard rusted-out Chevy
C                       Am
Fear, I've had none
                     C
what the hell made you want to love
   C                     G              D
a man, who was gonna die young

           G            C
Call it intuition, or call it crazy
       D                                  G
just thought by now I'd be pushing up daisies
       C                                            D
but I'd gladly stick around if we're together
             G                             C
So baby when you bow your head tonight
                 D                       G
could you tell the Lord I've changed my mind?
      C                  D               G
And with you I'd like to live, forever
