C majorC FF C majorC
C FF G+G FF
x2

🎸 Verse 1:
C majorC                 FF
 Grew up under yellow light on the street
                   G+G
Putting too much faith in the make-believe
                 FF
And another high school football team
C majorC
 The neighbor's brother came home in a box
    FF                 G+G
But he wanted to go, so maybe it was his fault
                    FF
Another red heart taken by the American dream

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
    FF    A minorAm
And I feel it there

In the middle of the night
     G+G
When the lights go out

And I'm all alone again

🎸 Chorus:
C majorC
Say what you want,

but say it like you mean it
      FF
With your fists for once, a long Cold War
     G+G
With your kids at the front
           A minorAm
Just give it one more day,
       FF
then you'rе done, done
 C majorC
I do what I want,

crying in the blеachers
    FF
And I said it was fun
              G+G
I don't need anything from anyone
         FF
It's just not my year

But I'm all good

🎸 Verse 2:
C majorC
Sunday morning
FF
Hands over my knees in a room full of faces
     G+G
I'm sorry if I sound off, but I was probably wasted (Probably wasted)
   FF
And didn't feel so good (Didn't feel so good)
C majorC
Head full of whiskey but I always deliver
FF
Jesus, if you're listening let me handle my liquor
   G+G
And Jesus, if you're there
               FF
Why do I feel alone in this room with you?

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
    FF    A minorAm
And I feel it there

In the middle of the night
     G+G
When the lights go out

But I’m still standing here

🎸 Chorus:
C majorC
Say what you want,

but say it like you mean it
      FF
With your fists for once, a long Cold War
     G+G
With your kids at the front
           A minorAm
Just give it one more day,
       FF
then you'rе done, done
 C majorC
I do what I want,

crying in the blеachers
    FF
And I said it was fun
              G+G
I don't need anything from anyone
         FF
It's just not my year
           C majorC
But I'm all good out here

🎸 Outro:
 C majorC
(Say what you want,

but say it like you mean it)
      FF
With your fists for once, a long Cold War
     G+G
With your kids at the front
           A minorAm
Just give it one more day,
       FF
then we’re done,
 C majorC
I do it for my daddy and I do it for Dale
   FF
I'm doing what I want and damn, I'm doing it well
  G+G
For me, for me
  FF
For me, for me

C majorC FF G+G FF
