Intro: D* G A
Verse 1:
I ain't had nothin to drink
I knew thats probably what you'd think
If I dropped by this time of night
Remember way back when
I promised you I'd drop in
At one of those meeting down at the Y
Well, they started talkin 'bout steps you take
D*
Mistakes you make the hearts you break
And the price you pay
I almost walked away
You could hear a pen drop when this old man
D*
Stood up and said I'm gonna say it again
Like I do every week
For those who don't know me
Chorus:
Its the simple things in life
Like the kids at home and a loving wife
That you miss the most, when you lose control
And everything you love starts to disappear
D*
The devil takes your hand and say say no fear
Have another shot, just one more beer
G A D(*) G A
Yeah, I've been there, thats why I'm here
Verse 2:
This ole boy stood up in the aisle
Said he'd been livin a life of denial
And he cried as he talked about the wasted years
I couldn't believe what i heard
It was my life word for word
And all of a sudden it was clear
Chorus:
Its the simple things in life
Like the kids at home and a loving wife
That you miss the most, when you lose control
And everything you love starts to disappear
D*
The devil takes your hand and say say no fear
Have another shot, just one more beer
G A D(*)
Yeah, I've been there, thats why I'm here
Bridge:
I know for us it may be too late
But it would mean the world to me
If you were there when I stand to say
Chorus:
Its the simple things in life
Like the kids at home and a loving wife
That you miss the most, when you lose control
And everything you love starts to disappear
D*
The devil takes your hand and say say no fear
Have another shot, just one more beer
G A D*
Yeah, I've been there, thats why I'm here
G A D(*) G A D
Oh, I've been there, that's why I'm here
