[Intro]
D G D A
[Verse 1]
D G
I became a heavy drinker I could really hold my liquor

There was no such thing as too much fun

Fast cars and faster women
G
I was unrepentant and unforgiven
D A D
That's the way I was at Twenty-One
[Verse 2]
D G
I must have been a sight I could drink and fight all night
D A
always stood my ground and never run

I cared more about my reputation than I did about my salvation

Yeah I was quite the dude at Twenty-One
[Chorus 1]
D G G D
Twenty-One, Twenty-One

Behold the mighty sparrow flying to close to the sun

Thought I knew it all back then I threw caution to the wind
D A D
I never thought I'd live past Twenty-One
[Verse 3]
D
My heavy drinking days are past
G
But I still smoke a little grass
D A
And I know I've lost a few that I should've won

Back when I was running wild
G
Hanging with that rowdy crowd
D A D
Raising all that hell at Twenty-One
[Outro]

Twenty-One, Twenty-One

Behold the mighty sparrow flying to close to the sun

Thought I knew it all back then I threw caution to the wind
