Verse 1: Matthew Thiessen:
Bm                     A
The time came when you had to hit the pavement
    Em
You grew it like a caveman
F#                        G
Never going clean again
A
Venturing out on your own
Bm
I had to give it to you
A

I was always acting cuckoo
Em
Thinking there was something
         F#                           G
That I'd actually be kinda scared-a
    A                          Bm
But I will be a man of stone

Chorus: Thiessen:
        G              Em
Take it down, break it over
  Bm
Until they fit together
         A          G
Move the pieces all around
         Em         Bm       A
Break it over, from now      on
     G     Em
From now on
                            Bm     A
Itâ??s up to me to set the tone
     G
From now on
Em                 Bm     A
I will be a man of stone
     G      Em       Bm
From now              on

Verse 2: Thiessen & Ellie Schmidly/Thiessen:
Bm
You got your ink
        A
But you think you might have taken it
    Em
Too far before forsaking it
    F#                        G
You covered up your nakedness
    A                      Bm
Now all you own is curtain clothes
Bm                          A
Itâ??s not a sin when your skin is telling everything
    Em
How could you ever lie about
    F#                              G    /
The girls that you were trying out?
A                     Bm
Laurie, Laura, Lauren Rose

Bridge: Thiessen & Robert Gay:
Em                 F#
On my honor I will do my best
   G             A                   Em
To do my duty to God and my country
   F#                  G     A
To God and my country
