[Intro] G Am C G [Verse 1]
G                              Am
Well I was given every chance to be a fine upstanding young man

C                                G
I had everything I needed in my hands

G                         Am
I was handsome and tall, to the world I had it all

C                                G
But there was something missing that they didn’t understand

G                        Am
I could feel it way down, most nights I thought I would drown

C                          Am
In a world of self doubt, with no way out

G                         Am
I never seemed to fit in, only had one good friend

C                         Am
And I lost him to drugs there in the end
[Chorus]
F                                   C
well I ended up just how I thought I’d be

F                                           C
With my hand on a gun and a barrel staring back at me

F                          C
No way out, at least that I could see

Am                  F         C     G
oh but momma never turned her back on me

Am               F          C          G
Gave me all the love I was ever gonna need

Am                  F      C     G
To turn this life around once again

Am                F     C     G
and be the man my momma thinks I am
[Verse 2]
G                         Am
well those dark days are behind me now

C            G
for the most part

G                  Am
And I got nothing but love left here

C               G
in this fragile heart

G                      Am
There’s a whole lotta life to live

C                G
and so much love left to give

G                     Am
And I don’t feel like giving in

C                  G
near as much as I once did
[Chorus]
F                                   C
well I ended up just how I thought I’d be

F                                           C
With my hand on a gun and a barrel staring back at me

F                          C
No way out at least that I could see

Am                  F         C     G
Oh but momma never turned her back on me

Am               F          C          G
Gave me all the love I was ever gonna need

Am                  F      C     G
To turn this life  around once again

Am                F     C     G
And be the man my momma thinks I am
[Verse 3]
Am                        F  C    G
Till the day they lay me in that ground

Am                        F     C G
I’ll be the man my momma thinks I am

Am                     F     C  G
Yeah the man my momma thinks I am
[Outro] Am F C G Am F C G
