[Verse 1]

D                                                    C
Livin' hard was easy, when I was young and bulletproof
      F G                                                         G F D walkdown
I had no chains to bind me, just a guitar and a roof
D                                             C
Emptied every bottle, when I poured I never missed
              F G                                         G F D
I had bloodshot eyes at 25, or was it 26?

[Verse 2]

D                                               C
It didn't seem to matter, what price I had to pay
F G                                                                    G F D walkdown
'Cause anything worth having I'd just lose it anyway
D                                        C
Friends worried about me they asked if I was sick
            F G                                        G F D walkdown
Thought I would die at 25 or was it 26?

[Chorus]

           G                                      D
Those two years run together like whiskey over ice
           A                                      C                        F D walkdown
Melting in my memories like somebody else's life
      G                                                  D                            G
I'm glad to say I've come around but if I could have one wish
      D                           C                 F G
I'd like another try at 25 or was it 26?

[Verse 3]

D                                                        C
I met a girl from Georgia; smart and pretty college grad
   F G                                                                  G F D walkdown
I thought my luck was changing. Up till then it'd all been bad
D                                         C
Guess I fell in love with her all it took was one kiss
                      F G                                        G F D walkdown
But then she said goodbye at 25 or was it 26?

[Ulangi Chorus]

[Verse 4]

D                                                              C
Now, I've been down the road before almost as far as hell
F G                                                            G F D walkdown
Deception or redemption I guess only time will tell
D                                            C
I have faith in the knowledge that God gave us a gift
      F G                                        G F D walkdown
So I couldn't hide at 25 or was it 26?

[Ulangi Chorus]
