Verse 1:

C                          Am
 I thought it happened when I took that first sip
F                   G                        C
 Out of a tall boy, thought, "Boy, ain't you tough "

They couldn't tell me
       Am
nothin' when I got the keys to somethin'
F                          G                      F   Am   G
 That can take seventeen me where that drag strip was
                            F      Am
But loose gravel don't love trucks, thought I was
G

all grown up, but

C                      Em               F            C

Ready or not, man, the real world's right in your face
                 G/B                           F
When you're down upsides, too late to hit them brakes

Man near died, but a man was born that day

Verse 2:

C                            Am
 And that smoky college bong, I saw her on his arm
F                     G                              F    Am
 And that seein' red, whiskey said, "Throw the first punch"
               G
Next thing you know, I woke up
F  Am                G
     Thought I could take anyone, but

Ready or not, man, the real world's right in your face
                     G/B                     F
Found out real quick why sometimes you walk away
                          G
Swallow your pride, but a man was born that day

Yeah, we had a plan now
G                       Fmaj7
Names written down in a room half wrote in blue paint

No pink lines, but a man was born that day
