Startin' With Me

[G] [Em]
[G]I had a one night stand with my best friend's baby sister
[Em]To this day he still won't speak to me
[C]I pawned my grandpa's old guitar in college
[D]For a case of beer and a tank of gasoline

[G]I took a swing at my old man one Christmas
[Em]I never dreamed that it would be his last
[C]I wish mom had rung my neck when she caught me with those cigarettes
[D]Which reminds me, I'm down to my last pack

[G]If I had a dime, for half th[Em]e things I[D] did
Th[C]at didn't make no sense at all,
I'd be livin' a little higher on[D] the hog
[G]If only I'd a known, that la[Bm]ter on down the road
[Em]I'd look back and not [D]like what I see [C]
I'd [Am]a changed a lot of things,[E] startin' wi[G]th me

[G]I called my brother everything I could think of
[Em]The night he wouldn't bail me out of jail
[C]I lost a job most folks 'round here would die for
[D]By layin' out all night and raisin' hell

[G]I let a woman that I love slip through my fingers
[Em]Chalk another dumb move up to my foolish pride
[C]I wasn't there standin' by the bed, when the preacher bowed his head
[D]With the family, the day my grandma died

[G]If I had a dime, for half the th[Em]ings I d[D]id
Th[C]at didn't make no sense at all,
I'd be livin' a little higher on[D] the hog
If only I'd a known, that later [Bm]on down the road
[Em]I'd look back and not li[D]ke what I see   [C]
I'd [Am]a changed a lot of things, s[E]tartin' with[G] me

       [G] [Em] [C] [D]
[G]If only I'd a known, that later [Bm]on down the road
[Em]I'd look back and not li[D]ke what I see   [C]
[Am]I'd a changed a lot of things, s[E]tartin' with me [G]
[Em]Startin' with me
