Intro: D A G repeat
D Em G
Only fools would race down Gristmill Road
A D
Let alone in angry weather

That's what I tell everyone I know
A D
Now that I know better
G D
That's a lesson I wish I would have learned
G D
Without having to watch my Mustang burn
G D/F#
Before my best buddy had to wind up hurt
Em D/F# G
And his whole life was changed
Em A
That's a lesson I wish I didn't learn
D
The hard way
Only a fool would keep a diamond ring
In a box on the top of his closet
He came so close, he almost asked
It was right there in his pocket
That's a lesson I wish I would have learned
Before standing in the back row of that church
Watching her daddy givin' her
To the man who took my place
That's a lesson I wish I didn't learn
The hard way
C D
Regrets been know to give a man a beatin'
C D
But I ain't in the mood for fighting back this evenin'
Only fools don't take the time of day
They stay too busy running
To stop just once and tell their dad
Just how much they love him
That's a lesson I wish I would have learned
Before the phone call came and it was her
No, Mama never had to say a word
I knew it was too late
That's a lesson I wish I didn't learn
The hard way
The hard way
