When I Look Back

Capo: 4th fret

G    Em    C
 
[Verse 1]
 
G
I guess I get it from my pops
                       Em
That ain’t ever gonna stop
                        C
Yeah I told her like a watch in my pocket
G                           G
  Yeah they’re gonna settle down
                           Em
One day it will all come around
                      C
But the only thing I know right now is
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
G
  I’mma live this Friday nights
G                      Em
Like the next one’s my last
                 C
You only get one pass
 
 
[Chorus]
 
                G
So when I look back
 
I wanna say I took the cap off
G     G   G
every two-packed beer
    Em                           C C
I raised my fair share hell out here
C             G
When I look back
 
I wanna say I left my name
   G     G   G
on every old dirt road
   Em                              C C
I kicked up dust in every truck I drove
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
 
C            G
When I look back
                    Am
Before they lay me down
                   Em
Before they put my boots in the
          C
cold hard ground
              G
Yeah I wanna say that I lived every minute
G     G       G
right down to that last bit of
Em                             C
Red dirt falls through my hourglass
G
When I look back
 
[Interlude]
G
 
[Verse 2]
 
G
  Now I don’t wanna have regrets
                          Em
Somewhere up there in my head
                          C
Wonderin’ how it could have been
                           G
If I did it different instead
                                             Em
I don’t wanna have to worry if I got it all wrong
                       C
Yeah, before it’s all gone
 
 
[Chorus]
                G
So when I look back
 
I wanna say I took the cap off
G     G   G
every two-packed beer
    Em                           C C
I raised my fair share hell out here
C            G
When I look back
