Intro
[D] [G] [D] [G]
 
Verse 1
Couldn't [D]wait to ride out of that [G]one horse town
Didn't [D]see no use [G]in sticking around
I was [D]green and busting [G]at the seams to [A]leave
I was [D]sitting on G, [G]waiting on O
The day I [D]hit eighteen, [G]I hit the road
Traded that [D]county maintain for a [G]four lane city [A]street
 
Pre-Chorus
But sometimes [Em]things ain't what you [D]think they're gonna [G]be
[Em]What you want ain't [D]always what you [G]need
 
Chorus
Don't know what you [D]got 'til it's gone
And you're [A]out on your own
All you [G]want is what you can't [A]get back
Once you let it [D]go, then you know [A]what you have
Don't hold a [G]candle to what [A]you had
[Bm]Sometimes what you [A]think you'll find
[G]It ain't quite what [D]real life has in [Em]store
[A]So be careful what you wish for [D] [G] [D] [G]
 
Verse 2
She was [D]holding on [G]just a little too tight
Talked a [D]little too much [G]about the rest of our lives
I [D]broke her heart [G]thinking freedom would set [A]me free
Well sometimes [Em]things ain't what you [D]think they're gonna [G]be
 
Chorus
Don't know what you [D]got 'til it's gone
And you're [A]out on your own
All you [G]want is what you can't [A]get back

Don't hold a [G]candle to what [A]you had
[Bm]Sometimes what you [A]think you'll find
[G]It ain't quite what [D]real life has in [Em]store

And you're [A]out on your own
All you [G]want is what you can't [A]get back
Once you let it [D]go, then you know [A]what you have
Don't hold a [G]candle to what [A]you had
[Bm]Sometimes what you [A]think you'll find
[G]It ain't quite what [D]real life has in [Em]store
[Em]And you can't get her back no [A]more
