♫ Intro:
Gm F G C
♫ Verse 1:
Gm F
I was eight years old in a world smaller than my hands
G C
The only pain I known was a concrete scrape back then
Gm F
Till my brother told me it's time to grow up and be a man
G C
'Cause daddy build a home with someone else, somewhere else in the state
Gm F
Oh, I'm tryin' now
G C
Tendin' to it without you but I'm findin' out
♫ Chorus:
Gm F
I learned when it all gets low how to hold my head up higher
G C
I learned how to change my fate despite the way I'm wired
Gm
But I'm on the side of the road and I'm all alone
F
With this flat ripped out reminder
G
That you left and let us down
C Gm F
And you never showed me how to change a tire
G C
To change a tire, you never showed me how
♫ Verse 2:
Gm F
To really love someone without the fear they're gonna let me go
G
How to stay and not run
C
But thanks to you that's the love I know
Gm F
I see you in my face, but I got my mother's heart
G C
I love the light I make, but there's always a missin' part
♫ Chorus:
Gm F
I learned when it all gets low how to hold my head up higher
G C
I learned how to change my fate despite the way I'm wired
Gm
But I'm on the side of the road and I'm all alone
F
With this flat ripped out reminder
G
That you left and let us down
C Gm F
And you never showed me how to change a tire
G
How to change a tire
C Gm
Oh-oh, you never showed me how
F G C
You never showed me how, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
♫ Outro:
Gm F
You never showed me how, you never showed me how
G
You never showed me how

Oh-oh-oh
