Verse 2:
Well I woke one day to a screen door slam
Found a goodbye note on our nightstand
Next to her coffee cup and a wedding band
Since then I’ve been a sunset man

Chorus:
When I see the sunrise coming up I draw the curtains down
A E B (fast strum down-up-down)
Cause the morning brings her memory around
I know its warm and beautiful and lights up the sky
But these days it only hurts my eyes

Verse 3 (use verse 2 chords):
I don’t show my face til the afternoon
Anything a.m is just too soon
Cause it reminds me how she up and ran
And damned me to be a sunset man

Repeat Chorus x2

Outro:
It’s hard not to cry but I’ll do my best
Just keep this old chair facing west
Til she puts that ring back on her hand
I guess I’ll always be a sunset man
Well I’ll always be a sunset man
E B E (one strum)
Yeah I’ll always be a sunset man

Intro: C-F-Bb-C-Dm-Bb-C-Dm

A hundred miles out of Little Rock, windshield full of rain
I-40 eastbound drivin while I pray,
Shes asleep in the backseat, Holdin tight to her teddy bear,
Shes got her daddys smile and her mommas hair
But one word knocked our lives off track
Just one word, keeps us comin back

Chorus:
Across the Mississippi, A mile or two from Beale Street
Not too far from Graceland, Where the king of rock and roll sleeps
To a place for children, Where God sends his mercy rainin down
In the heart of Memphis, Where angels hang around

Instrumental: Bb-C-Dm-Bb-C-Dm

All the deals Ive made with God, The conversations that weve had
Tryin to accept things I could not understand
I wanna walk her down the aisle, While those church bells ring,
See her get the chance. To live all her dreams,
But one word knocked our lives off track
Just one word keeps us comin back

Chorus
Across the Mississippi, A mile or two from Beale Street
Not too far from Graceland, Where the king of rock and roll sleeps
To a place for children, Where God sends his mercy rainin down
In the heart of Memphis, Where angels hang around

So sleep tight baby while these four wheels roll
Cause just beyond the clouds theres a ray of hope

To a place for children, Where God sends his mercy rainin down
In the heart of Memphis

INTRO: D G D G

He played guitar in a honky-tonk band
He drank Jack Daniels Black Label brand
He was the life of the party ‘til they closed down the bar
And in the eyes of a young boy, he was a star

CHORUS:
He’d say son don’t you run down the roads that I’ve run
And don’t go and sing all the songs that I’ve sung
‘Cause this kind of livin’ takes its toll on a man
And thru the smoke and the neon, I saw it first hand
I got the lowdown on the high life, but still here I am

INTRO

The booze and the bottle held him under their spell
They took him to Heaven and put us thru hell
Well sometimes I feel him up on this stage
His restless spirit still runs thru my veins

CHORUS

SOLO: D G D G A

CHORUS (end on Bm)

I got the lowdown on the high life but still here I am

INTRO out

Intro: D G D D G D

Seventeen and innocent
I wonder where all the years went
Lookin back on a youth misspent
God I miss those days

All the chances that we took
Always leaped and never looked
I tell you I could write a book
On all the hell we raised

CHORUS1:
Thought I was cool with my Lucky Strikes
I didn’t start too many fights
But in those days I finished quite a few
Beat up cars and the cheapest wine
And any trouble we could find
The worst of days were the best of times
Lookin back through life’s rearview
And lookin back I miss my misspent youth

I’m no worse now for the wear
I’ve gotten married, cut my hair
Me and her we’re quite a pair
All my friends say

And speaking of old friends
We still talk now and then
‘Cept now there’s a few of them
You can only reach by prayer

CHORUS 2:

We were cool with our Lucky Strikes
Didn’t start too many fights
But in those days we finished quite a few
Beat up cars and the cheapest wine
And any trouble we could find
The worst of days were the best of times
Lookin back through life’s rearview
And lookin back I miss my misspent youth

Beat up cars and the cheapest wine
And any trouble we could find
The worst of days were the best of times
Lookin back through life’s rearview
And lookin back I miss my misspent youth

And lookin back I miss my misspent youth

I miss my misspent youth

(verse 1)
I left for work in a hurry,
Rushed out the door without sayin goodbye,
I didn’t tell her I loved her this morning,
but I’ll tell her tonight,
I thought to myself,

(verse 2)
And as I hurried off toward the highway,
This truck out of nowhere caught me by surprise,
He missed me by inches and my life,
Passed in front of my eyes,
I guess that’s the reason that,

(chorus)
They say, dance every dance and live, each day,
as though it’s your last and tell those who you love,
how you feel, before it’s too late,
Life is right here and now,
We only go around, just, one, time,
So embrace and don’t waste em,
For these are the days of our lives,

(verse 2)
AS soon as my legs stopped a shaken,
I took a deep breath and turned my car around,
Oh I’m gonna take that vacation, that we talked about,
startin right now,

(verse 3)
Although I know tomorrow will be here,
Tomorrow may not always be here for me,
Cause nothin in life is for certain,
But death’s gauranteed,
And that’s the reason that,

(chorus)
I say, dance every dance and live, each day
as though it’s your last and tell those who you love,
how you feel, before it’s too late,
Life is right here and now,
We only go around, just, one, time,
So embrace and don’t waste em,
For these are the days of our lives,

Life is right here and now,

For these are the days of our live[-]s,[-][-][-][-]
