[Intro 1]
[C][C][C][C]
[C][C][C][C]
[C][C][F][F]
[G][G][Am][F][F]

[Verse 1]
[C]Grew up under yellow light on the str[F]eet
Putting too much faith in the make- [G]believe
And another high school foot[Am]ball [F]team
[C]The neighbor's brother came home in a box
But [F]he wanted to go, so maybe
it was his [G]fault
Another red heart taken
by the A[Am]merican [F]dream

[Pre-chorus 1]
And I [F]feel [G]it the[Am]re
In the middle of the night
When the [G]lights go out
And I'm all alone [C]a g[F]ain

[Chorus 1]
[C]Say what you want,
but say it like you mean it
With [F]your fists for once, a long cold war
With your [G]kids at the front
Just give it one more day,
[Am]then you'rе [F]done, done
I [C]do what I want, crying in the bleachers
And [F]I said it was fun
I don't need anything from [G]anyone
It's just not [Am]my y[F]ear

[Verse 2]
But I'm all good out here
[C]Sunday morning
[F]Hands over my knees in a room full of faces
I'm sorry [G]if I seemed off,
but I was probably wast[Am]ed[F]
And didn't feel so good
A [C]life full of whiskey but I always deliver
[F]Jesus, if you're listening
let me handle my liquor
[G]And Jesus, if You're there
Why do I feel alone [Am]in this ro[F]om with You?

[Pre-chorus 2]
And I [F]feel [G]it the[Am]re
In the middle of the night
When the [G]lights go out
But I'm still stand[C]ing [F]here

[Chorus 2]
[C]Say what you want,
but say it like you mean [Em]it
With [F]your fists for once, a long cold [C]war
With [G]your kids at the front
Just give it one more day,
[Am]then you'rе [F]done, done
I [C]do what I want, crying in the bleach[Em]ers
And [F]I said it was fun
I don't need an[C]ything [G]from anyone
It's just not [Am]my y[F]ear

[Chorus 3]
But I'm all good out here
[C]Say what you want,
but say it like you mean it
With [F]your fists for once, a long cold war
With your [G]kids at the front
Just give it one more day,
[Am]then you'rе [F]done, done
I [C]do it for my daddy and I do it for Dale
[F]I'm doing what I want and damn,
I'm doing it well
For [G]me, for me
[Am]For me, [F]for me

[Outro 1]
