Intro:  D*  G  A 


Verse 1:

D           G
I ain't had nothin to drink
A                     D  
I knew thats probably what you'd think
G            A               D
If I dropped by this time of night
D        G 
Remember way back when
  A             D
I promised you I'd drop in
G               A                   D   
At one of those meeting down at the Y
      G                    A
Well, they started talkin 'bout steps you take
D*
Mistakes you make the hearts you break
        G
And the price you pay 
         A
I almost walked away
          G               A
You could hear a pen drop when this old man
D*
Stood up and said I'm gonna say it again
       G 
Like I do every week 
              A
For those who don't know me


Chorus:

D              G
Its the simple things in life
         A                  D
Like the kids at home and a loving wife
         G                       A
That you miss the most, when you lose control
         G                        A
And everything you love starts to disappear
D*
The devil takes your hand and say say no fear
          G        A
Have another shot, just one more beer    
                G         A                   D(*)  G  A
Yeah, I've been there,          thats why I'm here


Verse 2: 

D                  G
This ole boy stood up in the aisle
A             D
Said he'd been livin a life of denial
       G           A                       D
And he cried as he talked about the wasted years
D            G
I couldn't believe what i heard
A              D
It was my life word for word
G                   A
And all of a sudden it was clear


Chorus:

D              G
Its the simple things in life
         A                  D
Like the kids at home and a loving wife
         G                       A
That you miss the most, when you lose control
         G                        A
And everything you love starts to disappear
D*
The devil takes your hand and say say no fear
          G        A
Have another shot, just one more beer    
                G         A                   D(*) 
Yeah, I've been there,          thats why I'm here


Bridge:

           G                A
I know for us it may be too late 
             G
But it would mean the world to me
            A
If you were there when I stand to say


Chorus:

D              G
Its the simple things in life
         A                  D
Like the kids at home and a loving wife
         G                       A
That you miss the most, when you lose control
         G                        A
And everything you love starts to disappear
D*
The devil takes your hand and say say no fear
          G        A
Have another shot, just one more beer    
                G         A                   D* 
Yeah, I've been there,          thats why I'm here
                  G     A                   D(*)  G   A   D
Oh, I've been there,        that's why I'm here
