G C G C
[Verse 1]
G
Twenty-nine
C G
That's when you're supposed to find yourself
C Em
Start drinkin' whiskey from a higher shelf
D
Stop callin' your mom for help
G
Twenty-nine
C G
You start payin' mortgage instead of rent
C Em
Should be pickin' out a picket fence
D C
Instead of wonderin' where it went and wonderin' why
[Chorus]
D
But for me, twenty-nine
C
Is the year that I got married and divorced
Bm
I held on for dear life, but I still fell off the horse
C G Am
From a Miss to a Mrs. then the other way around
G
The year I was gonna live it up
D G C
Now I'm never gonna live it down
[Verse 2]
G
Twenty-nine
C G
By now, I thought I'd have it figured out
C Em
But I've never felt as lost as I do now
D G
And everybody says, "You're only twenty-nine"
C G
But I feel like I'm runnin' out of time
C Em
If youth is wasted on the young, have I wasted mine?
[Chorus]
D
But for me, twenty-nine
C
Is the year that I got married and divorced
Bm
I held on for dear life, but I still fell off the horse
C G Am
From a Miss to a Mrs. then the other way around
G
The year I was gonna live it up
D G
Now I'm never gonna live it down
[Solo]
G | C | Em | D
[Bridge]
C D
Seems like everybody else is hangin' on to it
C D
But I swear to God I barely made my way through it
[Chorus]
G
Oh, twenty-nine-ine-ine
Am* G C
Is the year that I got married and divorced
Bm
Yeah, I held on for dear life, but I still fell off the horse
C G Am
From a Miss to a Mrs. then the other way around
G
The year I was gonna live it up
D Em
Hey, let's just call it what it was
D G
Now I'm never gonna live it down
[Outro]
C G C G
Mmm mmm
