[D]I'd of spent a lot [A]more time in the pouring rain
[D]Without an umbrella, [A]covering my head
[A]And I'd have stood up [D]to that bully when he pushed
[A]And called me names, [D]but I was too afraid
[D]And I'd have gone and saw [A]Elvis that night he came to town
[D]But momma [A]said I couldn't
[A]And I'd have went [D]skinny-dipping with Jenny Carson
[A]That time she dared [D]me to, but I didn't
[A]O I, I'd done [D]a lot of things different
[D]And I wish I'd have spent more [A]time with my dad when he was alive
[D]Now I don't [A]have the chance
[A]And I wish I had told [D]my brother how much I love him
[A]Before he went off to war, [D]but I just shook his hand
[D]I wish I'd have gone to [A]church on Sunday morning when my
[D]Grandma begged me to, but [A]I was afraid of God
[D]And I wish I'd have [A]listened when they said boy
[D]You're gonna wish you [A]hadn't, but I wouldn't
[A]O I, I'd done [D]a lot of things different
[D]People say they [A]wouldn't change a thing
[D]Even if [A]they could
[D]O but [A]I would
[D]There was this red dress she [A]wanted one time so bad she
[D]Could taste it I should [A]have bought it, but I didn't
[A]She wanted to paint our [D]bedroom yellow and trim it in
[A]Blues and greens, but [D]I wouldn't let her
[A]Wouldn't have [D]hurt nothin'
[A]She loved to be [D]held and kissed and touched
[A]But I didn't do [D]it, not nearly enough
[A]And if I'd of know that [D]dance was gonna be our last dance
[A]I'd of asked that band to [D]play on and on, on and on
[A]O I, I'd done [D]a lot of things different
[D]People say they [A]wouldn't change a thing
[D]Even if [A]they could
[D]O but [A]I would
[D]Oo, oo
[A]O I, I'd done [D]a lot of things different
[D]O I, I'd done [A]a lot of things
[D]I think we'd all do [A]a lot of things different
