I've Been There

• D

D                   G 
No I ain't had nothing to drink 
A                               D 
I knew thats probably what you'd think 
G               A                    D 
If I dropped by this time of night 
D               G 
Remember way back when 
A                     D 
I promised you I'd drop in 
G                      A                             D 
At one of those meetings down at the Y 
         G                                 A 
Well,  they started talkin bout steps you take 
     D                A 
Mistakes you make  
       D              G 
The hearts you break 
            D              G 
And the price you pay 
              A 
I almost walked away 
               G 
You could hear a pin drop 
          A 
When this old man 
   D               A                    D          G 
Stood up and said I'm gonna' say it again 
         D            G 
Like I do every week 
                     A 
For those who don't know me 
 
D                   G 
It's the simple things in life 
             A                           D 
Like the kids at home and a loving wife 
               G                                   A 
That you miss the most,  when you lose control 
              G                                 A 
And everything you love starts to disappear 
       D                     A            D           G 
The devil takes your hand and says no fear 
          D          G           A 
Have another shot,  just one more beer 
                      G                          A                    D 
Yah,  I've been there,                       that's why I'm here 
 
D                          G 
This ole boy stood up in the aisle 
A                               D 
Said he'd been living a life of denial 
            G               A                           D 
And he cried as he talked about wasted years 
D                G 
I couldn't believe what I heard 
A                   D 
It was my life word for word 
G                                       A 
And all of the sudden it was clear 
 
D                   G 
It's the simple things in life 
             A                           D 
Like the kids at home and a loving wife 
              G                                    A 
That you miss the most,  when you lose control 
              G                                 A 
And everything you love starts to disappear 
        D                     A            D         G 
The devil takes your hand and says no fear 
          D         G            A 
Have another shot,  just one more beer 
                       G                   A                       D 
Yah,  I've been there,                  that's why I'm here 
 
G                                     A 
I know for us it may be too late 
                   G 
But it would mean the world to me 
                 D                             A 
If you were there when I stand to say 
 
D                   G 
It's the simple things in life 
             A                           D 
Like the kids at home and a loving wife 
               G                                   A 
That you miss the most,  when you lose control 
              G                                   A 
And everything you love starts to disappear 
       D                     A            D           G 
The devil takes your hand and says no fear 
         D          G            A 
Have another shot,  just one more beer 
                       G                 A                       D        A 
D  
Yah,  I've been there,                 that's why I'm here 
                     G                   A                       D 
Oh,  I've been there,                   thats why I'm here
