Chords

[Intro] D [Verse 1]
D
Folks call me a maverick, guess I ain't too diplomatic,

     C              G           D
Just never been the kind to go along.

      D
Just avoiding confrontation, for the sake of conformation

           C             G                A
And I'll admit I tend to sing a different song.
[Pre-chorus 1]

Sometimes you just can't be afraid to wear a different hat.

     E                                                 A
If Columbus had complied this ol' world might still be flat.
[Chorus]

  Nothing ventured, nothing gained,

    G                   C   G          D
Sometimes you've got to go against the grain.
[Verse 2]
      D
Well, I've been accused of making my own rules.

              C                  G                  D
There must be rebel blood just a-runnin' through my veins.

      D
But I ain't no hypocrite, what you see is what you get.

               C          G                A
And that's the only way I know to play the game.
[Pre-chorus 2]
    Bm             A        G
Old Noah took much ridicule building his great ark.

          E                                            A
But after 40 days and 40 nights, he was looking pretty smart.
[Chorus]
    D                                     F
Sometimes it's best to brave the wind and rain.

   G                      C   G          D
By havin' the strength to go against the grain.

              E
Well, there's more folks than a few, who share my point of view.

            D                  A             E
But they're worried if they're gonna sink or swim.

       E
They'd like to buck the system but the deck is stacked against 'em.

              D                A           B
And they're a little scared to go out on a limb.
[Pre-chorus 3]
              C#m          B                     A
But if you're gonna make a difference, if you're gonna leave your mark.

You can't follow like a bunch of sheep, you've gotta listen to your heart.

  Go bustin' in like ol' John Wayne.

    A                   D   A          E
Sometimes you've got to go against the grain.

E                         G
  Nothing ventured nothing gained,

    A                   D   A          E
Sometimes you've got to go against the grain.
