D
Spend enough time around
Em
This nowhere small town
A
Sooner or later you're gonna see what kind of
G
Trouble can be found
D
And I was just sixteen
Em
Feelin' ornery and mean
A
The Lord took two of my friends that year
G
And left me somewhere in between
G                      A
And if I run outta that fool's luck
   D      A        G
Oh I'll come out alright

G                       A
Just as long as you're here by my side

D         A           G


D
The only sense I can make
Em
After all my mistakes
A
You were the reason the Lord saw fit to
G
Keep me safe
D
You see no thrill was enough
Em
Oh till I found your touch
A
To pull me from that path I was on
G
I just needed your love

G                      A
And if I run outta that fool's luck
  D      A         G
Oh I'll come out alright
G                      A
Just as long as you're here by my side

D        A         G

D
Close calls and close shaves
Em
Barely pullin' out of scrapes
A
All the while thinkin' a cat couldn't scratch me
G
But I was just drunk not brave
D
After all I went through
Em
To finally bring me to you
A
Now all those wild years behind me
G
Well they just sort of fade out of view


G                      A
And if I run outta that fool's luck
    D     A         G
Oh I'll come out alright
G                      A
Just as long as you're here by my side

D          A         G

G                      A
And if I run outta that fool's luck
    D     A         G
Oh I'll come out alright
G                      A
Just as long as you're here by my side
