Wasted The Rest

Intro: G C G C

        G                                 C
Well, I was never one to back down from a fight, or run

       G       C
from a problem

   G                                       C
Of all those things the youngest boy could be, I was the

G        C
wild one

G                                     C
Mama did the best she could to try to raise me right, but I

        G     C
didn't listen

  G                             C
I learned a lot of things in my life, I never learned my

 G     C
lesson

     D                       C                  G
I was  chasin' my dreams and runnin' from my convictions

D                      C           G
Chasin' my tail getting  all the attention

D                         C               D
Had all the potential, but  lackin' in direction

Chorus:

        G          D        C                  G  D  C
I spent most of my money on things I didn't need

        G          D     C
I spent most of my youth strung out on whiskey and

    G  D  C
speed

D                        C             G
Spent most of my love on ladies of the night

D                         C             G
Spent most of my time out lookin' for a fight

     D                 C                         D       C
It's all said and done I guess I, I guess I must confess

       D          G
I just wasted the rest


G                                         C
Me and the boys used to go down town, had nothin' to do and

           G  C
nowhere to go

G                                      C
Small town boys with big ideas that we heard about on the

  G   C
radio

    G                                          C
And all I wanted was to live the life of those songs that

               G  C
they used to play

      G                           C
Yeah, I want to rock and roll all night, and party every

G   C
day

D                   C               G
One day in school I learned about protection

D                   C               G
One night in jail I learned about redemption

D                           C              D
Seems most of life had been,  such a contradiction

Repeat Chorus:

Bridge:

D                      C         G
Can't say I'm proud of all my indiscretions

D                          C            G
Can't say I'm sorry for my lack of apprehension

D                         C                   D
Man I had some good times,  in case I didn't mention


Chorus:

        G          D        C                     G  D  C
I spent most of my money on things, I'll never need

        G          D           C
I spent most of my youth kinda strung out on the whiskey

        G  C
and speed

        D                        C             G
I spent most of my love on those ladies of the night

        D                   C             G
I spent most of my time out lookin' for a fight

  D                             C               D    C
I guess you could say, I really put life to the test

           D          G
And I just wasted the rest

       D          G
I just wasted the rest

       D         G
Man, I wased the rest

        D          G
Lord, I wasted the rest
