Hard Way

    D           Em        G
Only fools would race down Grist 
Mill Road
   A              D
Let alone in angry weather
           Em        G
That what I tell everyone I know
A              D
Now that I know better

[Chorus]
        G               D
That's a lesson I wish I woulda 
learned
       G                  D
Without havin' to watch my Mustang 
burn
      G                    D
Before my best buddy had to wind up 
hurt
  Em         D    G
An' his whole life changed
        Em              A     
That's a lesson I wish I didn't 
           D
learn the hard way

[Verse 2]
     D             Em       G
Only a fool would keep a diamond 
ring

   A                 D
In a box on the top of his closet
             Em         G
He came so close; he almost asked
A                  D
It was right there in his pocket

[Chorus]
        G               D
That's a lesson I wish I woulda 
learned
      G                         D
Before standin' in the back row of 
that church
       G           D
Watchin' her daddy givin' her
 Em         D           G
To the man who took my place
         Em             A     
That's a lesson I wish I didn't 
           D
learn the hard way

[Bridge]
C                                  
Regret's been know to give a man a 
D
beatin'
    C                              
But I ain't in the mood for 
            D
fightin' back this evenin'

[Verse 3]
    D             Em       D
Only fools don't take the time of 
day
    A              D
They stay too busy runnin'
                  Em       G
An' to stop just once to tell their 
Dad
A               D
Just how much they love him

[Chorus]
        G               D
That's a lesson I wish I woulda 
learned
      G                         D
Before that phone call came an' it 
was her
         G              D
No, Momma never had to say a word
  Em      D        G
I knew it was too late
           Em           A     
That's a lesson I wish I didn't 
           D
learn the hard way
