(ver. 1)
Rodney Crowell
[Intro]
G   G   D   G
 
[Verse 1]
G
  Once upon a way back when
G
  Misery was my best friend
D
  Always running from a misspent youth
G                                     C G
  Cold and empty as a pay phone booth
G
  I might have known a girl or two
G
  But nothing even close to you
D
  Anyone with eyes could see
G
  I’d had about enough of me
 
[Chorus]
C          G             C                D
  How many tiiiimes have - I heard myself say
G
  If I hadn’t got lucky - if I hadn’t had you on my side
D                               G
  I wouldn’t be standing here today
 
[Verse 2]
G
  Before you came into my world
G
  I just couldn’t get my flag unfurled
D
  Any wind to find my sail
G                          C G
  Was moving me to no avail
G
  The thing about the man I was
G
  Lonely is as lonely does
D
  Every day a blinding blur
G
  That was just the ways things were
 
[Chorus]
C          G             C                D
  How many tiiiimes have - I heard myself say
G
  If I hadn’t got lucky - if I hadn’t had you on my side
D                               G
  I wouldn’t be standing here today
 
[Break]
G   G   D   G
G   G   D   G
 
[Bridge]
D                      G
  You never did try to tie me down
D                       G            G#
  And every last time I came unwound
A                           A7
  You didn’t try to tame or shame or frame or game or try to lay blame
D                D7
  Whenever I was deep in doubt
G                    D
  You let me find my own way out
 
[Verse 3]
G
  This is what it comes down to
G
  I learned to be myself with you
D
  Now and then I feel so good
G                                    C G
  I could learn to live in Hollywood
G                                 G
  It’s not like we can change the world
G
  We're just another boy and girl
D
  Growing old together on Sunday
G
  Going back to work on Monday
 
[Chorus]
C          G             C                D
  How many tiiiimes have - I heard myself say
G
  If I hadn’t got lucky - if I hadn’t had you on my side
D                               G
  I wouldn’t be standing here today
 
[Outro]
G
  If I hadn’t got lucky - if I hadn’t had you on my side
D                               G
  I wouldn’t be standing here today
