Tuning: EADGBE

Intro:
D G (x4)

Verse 1:
     D            G
Couldn't wait to ride out of that one horse town
    D     G
Didn't see no use in sticking around
   D         G        A
I was green and busting at the seams to leave
   D       G
I was sitting on G, waiting on O
     D       G
The day I hit eighteen, I hit the road
      D           G       A
Traded that county maintain for a four lane city street

Pre-Chorus:
       Em          D          G
But sometimes things ain't what you think they're gonna be
Em         D        G
What you want ain't always what you need

Chorus:
          D
Don't know what you got 'til it's gone
      A
And you're out on your own
    G           A
All you want is what you can't get back
        D         A
Once you let it go, then you know what you have
       G       A
Don't hold a candle to what you had
Bm         A
Sometimes what you think you'll find
G          D        Em
It ain't quite what real life has in store
A                D G D G
So be careful what you wish for

Verse 2:
    D     G
She was holding on just a little too tight
     D        G
Talked a little too much about the rest of our lives
 D        G             A
I broke her heart thinking freedom would set me free
        Em          D          G
Well sometimes things ain't what you think they're gonna be

Chorus:
          D
Don't know what you got 'til it's gone
      A
And you're out on your own
    G           A
All you want is what you can't get back
        D         A
Once you let it go, then you know what you have
       G       A
Don't hold a candle to what you had
Bm         A
Sometimes what you think you'll find
G          D        Em
It ain't quite what real life has in store
A                D
So be careful what you wish for

Bridge:
       Em                   D
'Cause these city lights can't shine quite like the stars
    G             A
I wish I could wish her back into my arms

Chorus:
          D
Don't know what you got 'til it's gone
      A
And you're out on your own
    G           A
All you want is what you can't get back
        D         A
Once you let it go, then you know what you have
       G       A
Don't hold a candle to what you had
Bm         A
Sometimes what you think you'll find
G          D        Em
It ain't quite what real life has in store
Em              A
And you can't get her back no more
A               D G D
So be careful what you wish for
G        D    G D
