Intro
[G/B] [F#/A] [E/G] [D/F#] [C/E]
[G/B] [F#/A] [E/G] [D/F#] [C/G]
Verse 1
[G/B]Staring at the [F#/A]pictures of the [E/G]runaways [D/F#]on the [C/E]wall
[G/B]Seems like, [F#/A]these days, you [E/G]couldn't [D/F#]run away at [C/G]all
[G/B]Even if you [F#/A]did, what you [E/G]got to [D/F#]run away [C/E]to
Just [G/B]another drunk [F#/A]daddy with a [E/G]white man's [D/F#]point of [C/G]view
Verse 2
I can [G/B]see you in[F#/A] my [E/G]mind's eye, [D/F#]catching [C/E]light
[G/B]Sleep beside the [F#/A]river if we [E/G]make it out of[D/F#] town [C/G]tonight
You can [G/B]strip in [F#/A]Portland from the [E/G]day you [D/F#]turn [C/E]sixteen
You got [G/B]one thing to [F#/A]sell and [E/G][D/F#][C/G]benzodiazepine
Chorus
[D]Ten years ago I might have seen you [G/B]dancing in a different [Cadd9]light,
and [D]offered up my [G/B]help in different[Cadd9] ways,
but those were different [G/B][F#/A][E/G]days[C/E][D/F#]
Those were different [G/B][F#/A][E/G]days[C/G][D/F#]
Verse 3
Had a [G/B]girl back [F#/A]home and we [E/G]shared her[D/F#] single [C/E]bed
When I [G/B]whispered in her[F#/A] ear, she [E/G]believed every [D/F#]word I [C/G]said
If she [G/B]didn't [F#/A]believe, she [E/G]didn't [D/F#]dare give me [C/E]slack
Or it was[G/B] "Baby, I [F#/A]love you, get [E/G]off of my [D/F#]goddamn [C/G]back"
[G/B]Time went [F#/A]by and I [E/G]left and I [D/F#]left [C/E]again
[G/B]Jesus loves a [F#/A]sinner but the [E/G]highway [D/F#]loves a [C/G]sin
My [G/B]daddy [F#/A]told me, I [E/G]believe he [D/F#]told me [C/E]true that:
"The [G/B]right thing's [F#/A]always the [E/G]hardest [D/F#]thing to[C/G] do"
Chorus
[D]Ten years ago I might have stuck [G/B]around for another [Cadd9]night,
[D]and used her in a [G/B]thousand different [Cadd9]ways,
but those were different [G/B][F#/A][E/G]days[C/E][D/F#]
Those were different [G/B][F#/A][E/G]days[C/G][D/F#]
Bridge
And the [D]story's only [G/B]mine to live and[Cadd9] die with[G]
The [D]answer's only [G/B]mine to come [Cadd9]across,[G]
but the [D]ghosts that I got [G/B]scared and I got [Cadd9]high with[G]
look a little [D]lost[Cadd9]
Chorus
[D]Ten years ago I might have thought I [G/B]didn't have the [Cadd9]right
To [D]say the things an [G/B]outlaw wouldn't [Cadd9]say,
But those were different [G/B][F#/A][E/G]days[C/E][D/F#]
Those were different [G/B][F#/A][E/G]days[C/G][D/F#]
Those were different [G/B][F#/A][E/G]days[C/E][D/F#]
[G/B] [F#/A] [E/G] [D/F#] [C/G]
