Ive Got The Scars To Prove It chords by The Road Hammers

Tuning: Half-Step Down

♫ Intro: G F C G
G
I shake my head in disbelief
F
At all my self inflicted grief
   C                  G
Had a strong right hand I wasn't afraid to use it
G
My mama preached till her face was blue



     F
But not a damn word seemed to make it through
C          G
I've got the scars to prove it

(Chorus)
 Cadd9         D
I ran on whiskey and burned like gas
 G
I went too far I went too fast
F       C         G
I'd light a fire just to walk right through it
Cadd9        D
Busted bones and dreams and tears
  G
Tattoo my heart like souvenirs
F       C         D   C
Life is just a word till you go through it
         G      F C
I've got the scars to prove it
 G
I lost good friends over foolish pride
F
Drank with the devil just to feel alive
C                  G
I'd build a mountain then I'd try to move it
     G
Yeah and I thought that I was pretty tough
      F
Till I was brought down by a woman's touch
C          G
I've got the scars to prove it

(Chorus)

F
Now and then regrets may find me
C
But these marks are here to remind me
  Am         Eb
Of where I went wrong what made me strong
  C
And how I've moved on
 G
I ran on whiskey and burned like gas
F
I went too far I went too fast
C                 G
I'd light a fire just to walk right through it
Cadd9        D
Busted bones and dreams and tears
  G
Tattoo my heart like souvenirs
F       C         D
Love is just a word till you go through it
F       C         D   C
Life is just a word till you go through it
         G      F C G
I've got the scars to prove it
