[Intro]
C G F
[Verse 1]
C G
When I got trucked on that old field, I almost quit that team
F C
I almost gave up guitar 'cause it hurt to play those strings
C G
When everybody told me no, man, I 'bout gave up on my dream
F C
I almost let it go
C G
I almost broke my leg riding dirt bike with no fear
F C
I almost lost my best friend over some girl freshman year
C G
I almost lost my license driving home after two beers
F C
Almost, Lord knows
Dm F
Oh, but when I look back now
[Chorus]
C G
Thank God for the almost, thank God for the so close
F C
Thank God for the night I came within an inch of that fence post
F
For the doors that open, for the ones that slam closed
C
Thank God for the girls I thought I'd marry, but left me heartbroke
G F
Thank God for the highs, thank God for the lows
C C G F
Thank God for the almost
[Verse 2]
C G
I almost got that tattoo on my back that said "Delta Chi"
F C
Almost didn't visit Granddad a week before he died
C G
I almost didn’t kiss that girl, turned out to be my wife
Dm F
Guess someone else had something else in mind
[Chorus]
C G
Thank God for the almost, thank God for the so close
F C
Thank God for the kick that came within an inch of that goal post
F
For the doors that open, for the ones that slam closed
C
Thank God for the girls I thought I'd marry, but left me heartbroke
G F
Thank God for the highs, thank God for the lows
C
Thank God for the almost
[Interlude]
C Dm F
[Chorus]
C G
Thank God for the almost, thank God for the so close
F C
Thank God for the right, not left, I took when I came to them crossroads
F
For the doors that open, for the ones that slam closed
C
Yeah, without 'em, where would I be? Man, I don't know
G F
Thank God for the highs, thank God for the lows
C
Thank God for the almost
Dm F C
Ooh, Thank God for the almost
When I got trucked on that old field
I almost quit that team
I almost gave up guitar
'Cause it hurt to play those strings
And everybody told me "No man"
If I gave up on my dream
Almost, let it go
I almost broke my leg
Ridin' dirt bike with no fear
I almost lost my best friend
Over some girl freshman year
I almost lost my licence
Drivin' home after two beers
Almost, Lord knows
Oh but when I look back now
Thank God for the almost
Thank God for the so close
Thank God for the night
I came within an inch of that fence post
For the doors that opened, for the ones that slammed closed
Thank God for the girls I thought I'd marry
But left me heart-broke
Thank God for the highs, thank God for the lows
Thank God for the almost
I almost got that tattoo on my back
That said," Delta Chi"
Almost didn't visit granddad
The week before he died
Almost didn't kiss that girl
Turned out to be my wife
Guess someone else had somethin' else in mind
Thank God for the almost
Thank God for the so close
Thank God for the kick
That came within an inch of that goal post
For the doors that opened, for the ones that slammed closed
Thank God for the girls I thought I'd marry
But left me heart-broke
Thank God for the highs, thank God for the lows
Thank God for the almost
Thank God for the almost
Thank God for the so close
Thank God for the right
Not left I took when I came to them crossroads
For the doors that opened, for the ones that slammed closed
Yeah, without them where would I be?
Man, I don't know
Thank God for the highs, thank God for the lows
Thank God for the almost
Thank God for the almost
