Chords

[Intro] E A B E A B A [Verse 1]
E
Grew up under yellow light on the street

A
Putting too much faith in the make-believe

B                                 A
And another high school football team

E
The neighbor's brother came home in a box

    A
But he wanted to go, so maybe it was his fault

B                                       A
Another red heart taken by the American dream
[Pre-Chorus]
             C#m
And I feel it there
In the middle of the night
          B                                A
When the lights go out and I'm all alone again
[Chorus]
 E
Say what you want, but say it like you mean it

           A
With your fists for once, a long cold war

           B
With your kids at the front

                                       A
Just give it one more day, then you'rе done
Done
E
I do what I want, crying in the blеachers

        A
And I said it was fun

                            B                        A
I don't need anything from anyone, it's just not my year
But I'm all good out here [Verse 2]
E
Sunday morning

A
Hands over my knees in a room full of faces

           B
I'm sorry if I sound off, but I was probably wasted

A
And didn't feel so good

E
Head full of whiskey but I always deliver

A
Jesus, if you're listening let me handle my liquor

   B                                                     A
And Jesus, if you're there, why do I feel alone in this room with you?
[Pre-Chorus]
             C#m
And I feel it there
In the middle of the night
          B
When the lights go out

                      A
But I'm still standing here
[Chorus]
E
Say what you want, but say it like you mean it

           A
With your fists for once, a long cold war

           B
With your kids at the front

                                        A
Just give it one more day, then you're done
Done
E
I do what I want, crying in the bleachers

        A
And I said it was fun

                            B
I don't need anything from anyone

                  A
It's just not my year

                      E
But I'm all good out here
[Chorus]
 E
Say what you want, but say it like you mean it

           A
With your fists for once, a long cold war

           B
With your kids at the front

                                       A
Just give it one more day, then you'rе done

E
I do it for my daddy and I do it for Dale

     A
I'm doing what I want and damn, I'm doing it well

    B
For me, for me

    A
For me, for me
[Outro] E A B A E
