As recorded by Brantley Gilbert (From the 2024 Album TATTOOS) [Intro] G [Verse 1]
         Am7
I got my first when I turned eighteen

               C
You can barely see it, but I know what it means

         G
I got my next on tour Willie Nelson

G
Cheap motel, yeah, I was high as hell, son

                  Am7
This one's for my grandpa

Am7
This one's for my brothers

                 C
Gone, but not forgotten

C
Some bad motherfuckers

                    G
And you ain't gotta like it, or understand it

G
My body is a temple, but my temple is a canvas
[Chorus]
                      Am7
These ain't just some tattoos

Am7
This is who I am

                  C
This is what I've been through

C
This is where I stand

                G
This is where I came from, what I fight for, what I love

            D
What made a man out of that old boy that I was

                  Am7
And I ain't going back to

                          C
I didn't get 'em 'cause I had to

But these ain't just some tattoos

G
(But these ain't just some tattoos)
[Verse 2]
                        Am7
You can judge me by the cover, 'cause, hell, I wrote the book

              C
Hey, what you see is what you get, just look, man

                   G
This one's for the struggle

G
And this one's for addiction

G
This one's for forgiveness

G
And this one's for redemption
[Chorus]

Second chances
