<< Back to Bowling for Soup Song List
Version 2
This is a simple version of "Almost" by Bowling For Soup
I switch it from B major to C major, an easier version but the music is still there.
[Intro]
C G Am F x2
[Verse 1]
C G
I almost got drunk at school at 14
Am F
Where I almost made out with the homecoming queen
C G
Who almost went on to be Miss Texas
Am F
But lost to a slut with much bigger breastes
C G
I almost dropped out to move to LA
Am F
Where I was almost famous for almost a day
[Chorus]
C G Am
And I almost had you
F
But I guess that doesn't cut it
C G Am
Almost loved you
F C
I almost wished you would've loved me too
G Am F
C G Am F
[Verse 2]
C G
I almost held up a grocery store
Am F
Where I almost did 5 years and then 7 more
C G
Cuz I almost got popped for a fight with a thug
Am F
Cuz he almost made off with a bunch of the drugs
C G
That I almost got hooked on cuz you ran away
Am F
And I wish I woulda had the nerve to ask you to stay
[Chorus]
C G Am
And I almost had you
F
But I guess that doesn't cut it
C G Am
Almost had you

Here I go thinkin 'bout all the things I could've done

I'm gonna need a forklift cuz all the baggage weighs a ton
G Am F Fm
I know we've had our problems I can't remember one
[Verse 3]
C G
I almost forgot to say something else
Am F
And if I can't fit it in I'll keep it all to myself
C G
I almost wrote a song about you today
Am F
But I tore it all open and then I threw it away

And I almost had you

Almost had you
