Capo 3rd fret
 
 
[Intro]
D    G  D Em7 A
 
 
[Verse 1]
D
 The thing I want the most
          G
Is what I never had
          D                     Em7            A
I finally met a girl that I can picture it all with
D
 What scares me the most
             G
Is what I’ll be to her
          D              Em7             A
What if I wind up being exactly like you were
 
 
[Chorus]
Bm7                  G                    D
 Yeah I don’t know a thing about settling down
         A/C#                      Bm7
Making a home out of a ranch style house
        G            D
Someday raising up a baby
        A/C#         Bm7
Or hell maybe even a few
             G
When it gets hard how do I not leave
D               A/C#
How do I do ‘em better than you did me
Bm            G
I gotta admit I don’t know what to do
D                 A/C#        D
But thanks to you I know what not to
 
 
[Interlude]
A/C# Am G/B Gm D/A Em7 A
 
 
[Verse 2]
D
 I know not to touch the bottle
             G
When I’m up against the wall
                D                          Em7              A
I know why they call them pain pills cause pain is all they cause
      D             A/C#
And I really wish I didn’t
    A              G
But I know all too well
               D                      Em7            A
Not to leave a 10 year old to throw a ball all by himself
 
 
[Chorus]
Bm7                  G                    D
 Yeah I don’t know a thing about settling down
         A/C#                      Bm7
Making a home out of a ranch style house
        G            D
Someday raising up a baby
        A/C#         Bm7
Or hell maybe even a few
             G
When it gets hard how do I not leave
D               A/C#
How do I do ‘em better than you did me
Bm7           G
I gotta admit I don’t know what to do
D                 A/C#        Bm7
But thanks to you I know what not to
 
 
[Interlude]
G D A/C# Bm G D A
 
 
[Verse 3]
D                    A/C#
Momma said you don’t pray no more
D                    G/B
Breaks my heart so I do it for you
              D
Cause I still miss you
        Em7                D/F#
And I’m gonna be, what you wanted to be
         G
What you tried to be
G
What you couldn’t be
N.C.
Even though
 
 
[Chorus]
Bm7                  G                    D
 Yeah I don’t know a thing about settling down
         A/C#                      Bm7
Making a home out of a ranch style house
        G            D
Someday raising up a baby
        A/C#         Bm7

D               A/C#
How do I do ‘em better than you did me

I gotta admit I don’t know what to do
D                 A/C#        D
But thanks to you I know what not to
