   G
I had a one night stand with my best friends baby sister
                                        Em
And to this day he still won''t speak to me
    C
I pawned my grandpas old guitar in collage
       D
For a case of beer and a tank of gasoline
   G                     D              G
I took a swing at my old man one Christmas
   Em
I never dreamed that it would be his last
        C
I wish mom had rung my neck

When she caught me with those cigarettes
         D
Which reminds me, Im down to my last pack

[Chorus]
            G                          Em
If I had a dime, for half the things I did
  C
That didnt make no sense at all, 
                              D
Id be living a little higher on the hog
         G                             B
If only Id have known, that later on down the road
     Em                D           C
Id look back and not like what I see
                   Am            D              G
Id have changed a lot of things,    Startin with me

G
I called my brother everything I could think of
                                     Em
The night he wouldnt bail me out of jail
   C                                           G
I lost a job most folks round here would die for
     D
By laying out all night and raising hell
                   G
And I let a woman that I love slip through my fingers
       Em
Chalk another dumb move up to my foolish pride
                 C
I wasn''t there standin by the bed

When the preacher bowed his head
           D
With the family, the day my grandma died

[Chorus]
            G                          Em
If I had a dime, for half the things I did
  C
That didnt make no sense at all, 
                              D
Id be living a little higher on the hog
         G                             B
If only Id have known, that later on down the road
     Em                D           C
Id look back and not like what I see
                   Am            D              G
Id have changed a lot of things,    Startin with me

[Instrumental]
Em C D

G                                      B
If only Id have known, that later on down the road
    Em                 D           C
Id look back and not like what I see
                 Am                     D             G
Whoa, Id have changed a lot of things,    Startin with me, 
Em         G
Startin with me
