Intro: D / A / D / G / A / D

[Verse:]
D A
When I was a rover, met a four leaf clover, she was Irish as the day was long
D G A D
I thought she'd give it to me maybe, now she's married with a baby, I've been dodging
bullets all along
D A
Man, we would creep but never lost no sleep, I would cut catnip into the weed,
D G A D
Nobody was the wiser but they could have been higher and it meant more money for me

[Chorus:]
G G D A
Here's to not getting caught, doctor it's only a graze
D G A D A
Spinning like a top, running like a villain and the years are going by like days
G A D
The years are going by like days
D A G A D
Days, the years are going by like days

[Verse:]
D A
School bus, I got on it, I was nearly catatonic, I couldn't speak a goddamn word
D G A D
Homeroom class, forge a hall pass and we would get higher than the birds
D A
My foolish nature, the chase for the paper, I would deal in the broad daylight
D
18 years old, head full of psilocybin and howling at the moon all night

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
G D
Small town shadows, clean out of sight,
D A
nothing to fear but the coming of that morning light
G D Bm
Ducking and dodging and diving for that rent,
G A D
if it couldn't be broken, it could be bent

[Solo:] D / A / D / G / A / D

[Verse:]
D A
I was washing dishes, stealing kisses, making our deals on the side
D G A D
She said are you ready honey, 'cause we got gas money and we're going on a long long ride
D A
Lying like a rug, prescription drugs, old guitars, new girlfriends
D G A D
Everybody shunned me, I just thought that it was funny and I'd do it all over again

[Chorus:]
G G D A
Here's to never getting caught, doctor it's only a graze
D G A D
Spinning like a top, running like a villain and the years are going by like days
D G A D A
Spinning like a top, running like a villain and the years are going by like days
G A D
The years are going by like days
D A G A D
Days, the years are going by like days
