G           D                      Cadd9
And now the gravity of trouble was more than I could bear,
G/B                         D
At times my luck was so bad, I had to fold my hands,
Cadd9               G/B
Almost lost my soul, rarely I could find my head,
Bb6                          C
Wake up early in the morning, feeling nearly dead.

 I was never afraid of danger, took trouble on the chin,
G/B                                 D
Mountains I have climbed, that have killed a thousand men, Spent
Cadd9                         G/B
most of my lifetime downtown, sleepin' behind the wheel,
Bb6                   A5                       A5
Never needed anybody, I was king of the hill. (2 more beats)

[Chorus]
C   G                      D
Oh, when I think about the old days, Lord
C        G                  F  D
it sends chills up and down my spine, Yeah
C                  G             D
life ain't what it seems, on the boulevard of broken dreams,
Fadd2                                       Cadd9
Guess I opened my eyes in the nick of time, cause it
Bb6                C
sure felt like the end of the line...
