(E major) (E major) (E major) (E major)
(E major) (E major) (E major) (E major)
(E major) (E major) (E/G#) (A minoraj9) (A minoraj9)
(Bsus4) (Bsus4) (C sharp minor) (A minoraj9) (A minoraj9)
Verse 1
(E major) Grew up under yellow light (E/G#) 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
(E/G#) 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 minor7) there
In the middle of the night
When the (B major) lights go out
And I'm all alone (E/G#) a (A major) gain
Chorus 1
(E major) Say what you want,
but say it like you mean (E/G#) it
With (A minoraj9) your fists for once, a long cold war
With your (Bsus4) kids at the front
Just give it one more day,
(C sharp minor) then you'rе (A minoraj9) done, done
I (E major) do what I want, crying in the bleach (E/G#) ers
And (A minoraj9) I said it was fun
I don't need anything from (Bsus4) anyone
It's just not (C sharp minor) my (A minoraj9) year
Verse 2
But I'm all good out here
(E major) Sunday morning (E/G#)
(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 (E/G#)
(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 minor7) there
In the middle of the night
When the (B major) lights go out
But I'm still stand (E/G#) ing (A major) here
Chorus 2
(E5) Say what you want,
but say it like you mean (G sharp5) it
With (A5) your fists for once, a long cold war (E5)
With (B5) your kids at the front
Just give it one more day,
(C sharp5) then you'rе (A5) done, done
I (E5) do what I want, crying in the bleach (G sharp5) ers
And (A5) I said it was fun
I don't need an (E5) ything (B5) from anyone
It's just not (C sharp5) my (A5) year
Chorus 3
But I'm all good out here
(E major) Say what you want,
but say it like you mean (E/G#) it
With (A minoraj9) your fists for once, a long cold war
With your (Bsus4) kids at the front
Just give it one more day,
(C sharp minor) then you'rе (A minoraj9) done, done
I do (E major) it for my daddy and I do it for Dale (E/G#)
(A minoraj9) I'm doing what I want and damn,
I'm doing it well
For (Bsus4) me, for me
(C sharp minor) For (A minoraj9) me, for me
Outro 1
(E major) (E major) (E/G#) (A minoraj9) (A minoraj9)
(Bsus4) (C sharp minor) (A minoraj9) (A minoraj9)
