Standard (EADGBE)

(G---C) x2

G Eighteen was a D rocket ride

Em I lit the fuse and I C held on tight

G Every day was a D Friday night

And Em I got the scars to C prove it

G It all blew up at D 25

Em Saw those telephone poles C flying by

And G I don't remember D much that night

I'm just C lucky I C/B got C through it

(Chorus)

And G I let it D run like an open vein

Am Loved the pleasure and C cursed the pain

G Oh D foolish things I've C done (C/B-C)

I'm too old now to die young

G Woke up alone at D 35

Em Just across town from C my ex-wife

I G get my two kids every D Friday night

And I Em work all week to do it C

Their G momma and me couldn't D work it out

Oh but Em that don't seem to C matter now

G They're all that I D care about

And I C got their C/B love C to prove it

Chorus

(G--D) x3

And G I let it D run like an open vein

Am Loved the pleasure and C cursed the pain

G Oh D/F# foolish things I've C done (C/B-C)

And G I never D thought I'd make it here

Am Wish I could live another C 100 years

G Oh Em foolish things I've C done (C/B-C)

I'm too old now to die young (G-D-Em)

I'm C too old now to die young (G-D-Em)

I'm C too old C/B now to C die young G
