(B major) (B major) (C sharp minor) (A major) (A major)
Verse 1
(E major) Grew up under yellow light on the (A major) street
Putting too much faith in the make- (B major) believe
And another high school foot (C sharp minor) ball (A major) team
(E major) The neighbor's brother came home in a box
But (A major) he wanted to go, so maybe
it was his (B major) fault
Another red heart taken
by the A (C sharp minor) merican (A major) dream
Pre-chorus 1
And I (A major) feel (B major) it (C sharp minor) there
In the middle of the night
When the (B major) lights go out
And I'm all alone (E major) a (A major) gain
Chorus 1
(E major) Say what you want,
but say it like you mean it
With (A major) your fists for once, a long cold war
With your (B major) kids at the front
Just give it one more day,
(C sharp minor) then you'rе (A major) done, done
I (E major) do what I want, crying in the bleachers
And (A major) I said it was fun
I don't need anything from (B major) anyone
It's just not (C sharp minor) my (A major) year
Verse 2
But I'm all good out here
(E major) Sunday morning
(A major) Hands over my knees in a room full of faces
I'm sorry (B major) if I seemed off,
but I was probably wast (C sharp minor) ed (A major)
And didn't feel so good
A (E major) life full of whiskey but I always deliver
(A major) Jesus, if you're listening
let me handle my liquor
(B major) And Jesus, if You're there
Why do I feel alone (C sharp minor) in this (A major) room with You?
Pre-chorus 2
And I (A major) feel (B major) it (C sharp minor) there
In the middle of the night
When the (B major) lights go out
But I'm still stand (E major) ing (A major) here
Chorus 2
(E major) Say what you want,
but say it like you mean (G sharp minor) it
With (A major) your fists for once, a long cold war (E major)
With (B major) your kids at the front
Just give it one more day,
(C sharp minor) then you'rе (A major) done, done
I (E major) do what I want, crying in the bleach (G sharp minor) ers
And (A major) I said it was fun
I don't need an (E major) ything (B major) from anyone
It's just not (C sharp minor) my (A major) year
Chorus 3
But I'm all good out here
(E major) Say what you want,
but say it like you mean it
With (A major) your fists for once, a long cold war
With your (B major) kids at the front
Just give it one more day,
(C sharp minor) then you'rе (A major) done, done
I do (E major) it for my daddy and I do it for Dale
(A major) I'm doing what I want and damn,
I'm doing it well
For (B major) me, for me
(C sharp minor) For (A major) me, for me
Outro 1
