We Dared The Lightning

INTRO: D  G  Cadd9  (2x) 

D 
Mama said slow down, but I was goin' to fast to listen 
D 
Said what goes 'round comes around, but only time could get my attention 
          G                              D  
But as I look back now over advice well given 
              G                        A 
I can't help wonderin' how it is that I'm still livin' 

Refrão -------------

             G                          D 
I had some wild friends, we did some crazy things 
             A                    G         D 
We kept some long late hours, we dared the lightnin' 
           G                     D 
We took it to the edge, runnin' full speed ahead 
             A                       G        D 
We laid our lives on the line, we dared the lightnin'

It really blows my mind, I don't know how that I survived 
Still I go back from time to time, visit others by their graveside 
Wish mama had lived to see now I have kids of my own 
She'd be laughin' at me but mama'd never cast a stone 

CHORUS 

BRIDGE: 
A                                            G                      D 
It was like playin' Russian roulette, always braggin' and bluffin' 
A                                 G                     A 
Racin' 'round in our gin bullets, we never stopped at nothin' 

SOLO 

CHORUS  

             A                         G        D 
We laid our lives on the line, we dared the lightnin' 
D                        D                           D  G  Cadd9  D 
We dared the lightnin', we dared the lightnin' 

D                        G Cadd9  D   
We dared the lightnin'
