What I Almost Was (Eric Church)

		I jotted these chords down while watching a video of him playing. The chords are exact,  
the timing however, may be a tad off. Just play around with it until you find what works  
for you. Enjoy  
 
 
Intro: G-D-G-D-G-Cm-G-D-G-Cm-G  
 G  
It was my senior year  
 C G  
I just turned eighteen  
 Cm G D G  
I was a friday night hero, with division one dreams  
 G  
I had an offer on the table  
 C G  
A four year ride  
 Cm G D G  
'Til that fourth and two and twenty four dive  
 
CHORUS:  
 D C G  
I left on a stretcher, wound up on a crutch  
 D  
Walked on that next summer  
 C G  
Wound up getting cut  
 Cm D C G  
I flipped off that coach, left that school in the dust  
 Am Cm C  
For letting my dreams Go bust  
 C D (one strum) G  
But I thank God I ain't what I almost was  
 
 
 G  
Yea, I moved on back home  
 C G  
And came awful close  
 Cm G D G  
to being some son-in-law to some CEO  
 G C G  
Coulda been a corner office, country club, suit and tie man  
 Cm D G  
Answerin' to no one, but her and him  
 
CHORUS:  
 D C G  
I ran out on his money, ran out on her love  
 D C G  
At four in the morning I loaded my truck  
 Cm D C G  
I left my home town in a big cloud of dust  
 Am Cm C  
I just had to follow my gut  
 C D (one strum)  
And I thank God I ain't what I almost was  
 
 
 G C G  
In a guitar town I bought this old Epiphone  
 Cm D G  
Started stringin' chords and words into songs  
 G C G  
I've been putting in time on Sixteenth Avenue  
 Cm D G  
Pouring out my heart for tips on a stool  
 D C G  
I ain't making a killing, but then there's those nights  
 D C G  
When the song comes together and hits 'em just right  
 Cm D C G  
The crowds on their feet cause they can't get enough  
 Am Cm C  
Of this music I make and I love  
 C Cm  
And I thank God I ain't, yea I thank God I ain't,  
 C D G  
Yea man I thank God I ain't, what I almost was
