A Man Who Was Gonna Die Young chords by Eric Church

Capo 3rd fret

Verse 1

G         Cadd9
I like fast cars and sharp dreams
D        Em
Chased a lot of crazy things
Cadd9      G       D
Left behind my share of broken pieces
G          Cadd9
This morning i turned 36
D         Em
You just remember half of it
Cadd9       G         D
You wonder how you out lived hank or Jesus

(Chorus)

     Cadd9        G
I put the rage in the river and the roll in the thunder
  D         Em
But you kept me from going under
Cadd9      G      D
When that current got too heavy
  Cadd9         G
I always thought I'd be a heap of metal
  D           Em
In a cloud of smoke pushed up to the pedal
Cadd9         G          D
Sold for parts like a junk yard rusted out Chevy
Cadd9       G       D        Em
Fear I've had none what the hell made you wanna love
Cadd9     D
A man who was gonna die young

Verse 2

G          Cadd9
In the mirror I saw my surprise
D            Em
Who knew gray hairs liked to hide
Cadd9       G          D
On a head didn't think he'd live past thirty
G       Cadd9        D           Em
If I make it thirty more it's the brown that you'll be looking for
Cadd9           G         D
As your run your fingers through it and say slow down honey

Chorus

     Cadd9        G
I put the rage in the river and the roll in the thunder
  D         Em
But you kept me from going under
Cadd9      G      D
When that current got too heavy
  Cadd9         G
I always thought I'd be a heap of metal
  D           Em
In a cloud of smoke pushed up to the pedal
Cadd9         G          D
Sold for parts like a junk yard rusted out Chevy
Cadd9       G       D        Em
Fear I've had none what the hell made you wanna love
Cadd9     D
A man who was gonna die young

Verse 3/ Outro

G           Cadd9
Call it intuition or call it crazy
  D          Em
Just thought by now I'd be pushing up daisies
Cadd9         G       D
But i'd gladly stick around if we're together
G            Cadd9
So baby when you bow your head tonight
D             Em
Could you tell the lord I've changed my mind
    Cadd9   D
And with you I'd Like to Live Forever

G Cadd9 D Em G Cadd9 D
