Intro: 
G C G G 

                 G                          Bm 
Third night this week, I'm playin' this old bar again 
                  C                                D 
A young newly wed couple showed up, spotted the as soon as they walked in 
               G                         Bm 
They looked so in love, young man looked up at me 
                    C                     D 
He threw me a five, asked if he could buy me a drink 

Pre-Chorus      
            C                     D                G      D/F#        Em 
He said I wish I could sing and play guitar, man you've got it made 
             C                                     D 
He said, be- fore we go and toast to that, there's something I've gotta say 

                 C                G 
I'd give it all, I'd give it back 
                 C                        D 
I'd make a call, wouldn't take me long to pack 
                    C              G 
And I'd give it up, I'd give it in 
          C         Em        D 
If only I could see her again 
        C                     D                G       D          Em 
It just took this long to see that this ain?ft where I need to be 
                       C          D 
I've had too much fun, I'm headed north on 21

                     G                              Bm 
I made a lot of good friends, but lost them just as fast 
                       C                             D 
You can't see the real world through the bottom of a glass 
                G                             Bm 
Aint even got a dog, 'cause I'm always on the road 
                      C                        D 
Don't even call home, aint been a letter wrote 

Pre-Chorus   
         C               D                      G       D/F#    Em 
But if I could see the bright lights of Mont- gomery, Alabama 
C                                     D 
Take this long road back up home, and never take it down 

                 C                G 
I'd give it all, I'd give it back 
                 C                        D 
I'd make a call, wouldn't take me long to pack 
                    C              G 
And I'd give it up, I'd give it in 
          C         Em        D 
If only I could see her again 
        C                     D                G       D          Em 
It just took this long to see that this ain?ft where I need to be 
                       C          D           G 
I've had too much fun, I'm headed north on 21 

        C                     D         G       D           Em 
It just took this long to see that this bottles drowning me 
                       C          D 
I've had too much fun, I'm headed north on 21
