20 Years Ago
INTRO: Bm D G A
[Bm]Starin' off into [D]space
Smokin' more than I [G]should
Stayin' out of the [A]race
Hidin' from the neighbor[Bm]hood
Lookin' out thru the cracks
Catchin' glimpses of life
I touch the past when I look back
Like it's the edge of a knife
Playin' to a crowd of one
As I cuss my demons out
For the things that I have done
To put my future in doubt
Feelin' poison eat me up
'Fore I knew that lady luck
Could turn stark ravin' mad
CHORUS:
[G]And I'd give [A]anything for [D]twenty years ago
[G]And what I [A]know today a[D]bout sayin' no
[G]I'd give [A]anything for [D]twenty [D/C#]years [Bm]ago
I'd never [G]live the dreams that [A]made this nightmare [D]grow
INTRO
Hardly leavin' this place
Once a month for the news
That I shouldn't have much faith
And my bill is overdue
The phone rings every now and then
But I never pick it up
I don't wanna talk to old friends
Who are up on their luck
CHORUS
SOLO (chorus chords)
