[Intro :]

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