Chords

[Intro] Am F C G x2 [Verse]
   Am
My old man raised a dreamer

      F
Never been a people pleaser

          C
if I was half the man as where he stands

     G
I’d sleep fine in the evenings

   Am
I know that growing older

      F
lays more weight on my shoulders,

       C
but calloused hands made who I am

         G
make it worth it when it’s over
Am F C G x1 [Verse]
         Am
Looking back on all those younger years

       F
No direction for a dream

       C
When holding on to her

        G
made a lot more sense to me

      Am
Not defined by the things I’ve done

        F
or the people that I’ve lost

     C
I’m on to greener pastures

        G
but my heart payed the cost
[Chorus]
F
Counting all the yesterdays

       C
never got me very far

     G
The air I breathe keeps the boy in me

  Am
wishing on the stars

   F
I hope the man I am one day

      C
is a man they’re scared to lose

  G
Learned to chase a better way

            Am
to put the words of mine to use
F C G Am x2 [Verse]
         Am
There’s things out there I’ve come to find

         F
pull me right back to my roots

         C
Like a setting sun with no reason to run

 G
right back to the moon

          Am
I’m not designed for the simple life

            F
that bright eyes were meant to see

         C*
I’ll be back around when I’m coming down

          G
and the livings done with me
[Chorus]
F
Counting all the yesterdays

       C
never got me very far

     G
The air I breathe keeps the boy in me

  Am
wishing on the stars

   F
I hope the man I am one day

      C
is a man they’re scared to lose

  G
Learned to chase a better way

            Am
to put the words of mine to use
F C G Am x2 [Chorus]
F
Counting all the yesterdays

       C
never got me very far

     G
The air I breathe keeps the boy in me

  Am
wishing on the stars

   F
I hope the man I am one day

      C
is a man they’re scared to lose

  G
Learned to chase a better way

            Am
to put the words of mine to use
F C G Am x2 [Outro]
   Am
My old man raised a dreamer

       F
Never been a people pleaser

          C
if I was half the man as where he stands

      G
I’d sleep fine in the evenings
