| [G] | [D] | [A] | [A]
Well | [D] I figured | Trigger would | [A] outlive my | [D] liver
But I'm | [G] still here | [D] writing | [A] songs | [A]
Or if | [D] I reached my | age I'd for- | [A] get how to | [D] play
well I | [G] guess I | [D] proved me wrong | [A] | [A]
They say | [A] use it or | lose it and I'll | [D] do it a- | gain
my | [Em] half crazy | mind is my | [A] oldest | friend | [A] | [A]
I | [D] never ex- | pected my | [A] Redneck con- | [D] fessions
would be | [G] sung by | [D] this old | [A] man | [A]
Or if | [D] livin' so | hard I would | [A] make it this | [D] far
I said | [G] catch me | [D] if you | [A] can | [A]
| [A] Use it or | lose it so I'll | [D] do it a- | gain
that | [Em] lost highway | life is my | [A] oldest | friend | [A!] | ... |
Chorus
I was | [Bm7] born in a | [D] barn and the | [A] door was wide | [G] open
I ran | [D] out before | [A] I learned to | [G] crawl | [G]
And if I | [Bm7] die when I'm | [D] high I'll be | [A] half way to | [G] heaven
or I | [D] might have a | [A] long way to | [G] fall | [D]
| [Bm7] | [D] | [A] | [G]
The | [D] paper to- | day said I'm | [A] changing my | [D] ways
and my | [G] time has been | [D] slowing | [A] down | [A]
They said that | [D] people my | age are ex- | [A] pected to | [D] fade
well I'm a- | [G] fraid I've | [D] let them | [A] down | [A]
You got to | [A] use it or | lose it and I'll | [D] choose how it | ends
if I could | [Em] only get | back on the | [A!] road a- | gain | ... | ..
Chorus
I was | [Bm7] born in a | [D] barn and the | [A] door was wide | [G] open
I ran | [D] out before | [A] I learned to | [G] crawl | [G]
And if I | [Bm7] die when I'm | [D] high I'll be | [A] half way to | [G] heaven

There'd be a | [A] little more of | [A6] heaven every- | [Amaj7] where | [A6]
Chorus
It's the | [D] grace that we | show to a | [A] world that needs | hope
It's | [F#m] giving our lives | . knowing | [E7] they're not our | own
