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
