[Intro] G C Em C [Verse 1]
      G
I'm a strange kind of thunder

      C
I'm a different kind of storm

    Em7                           C
Hellbent and hardheaded since the day that I was born

    G                               C
No, there's no water deep enough to drown the fire inside

         Em7
It might make it hard to love me

      C
But I hope I'm worth the ride
[Pre-chorus]
            G
And I'll go on

       C
Like a stone

        Em7
I'll be holding ground right here

             C
But when I'm gone
[Chorus]
G                                C
  Lay me down with sunburn on my face

                              Em
Talk about how I never act my age

                                        C
Still writing when they try to turn the page

                       G
That's the way I wanna go

                                  C
Out swinging with nothing left to prove

                                      Em
A leather jacket and fresh dirt on my boots

                       C
And a kiss from lips I know

                       G
That's the way I wanna go
[Verse 2]
G
I got scars across my knuckles

C
Just like my old man's

         Em
A couple scuffs on my belt buckle

         C
From the last time that I danced

           G
Just wanna know I worked and tried enough

  Am
I told the truth, I cried enough

Em7
Spoke my mind and laughed enough,

          C
But when enough's enough
[Chorus]
G                                C
  Lay me down with sunburn on my face

                              Em
Talk about how I never act my age

                                        C
Still writing when they try to turn the page

                       G
That's the way I wanna go

                                  C
Out swinging with nothing left to prove

                                      Em
A leather jacket and fresh dirt on my boots

                       C
And a kiss from lips I know

                       G    C     Em    C
That's the way I wanna go,     oh yeah
[Pre-chorus]
            G
And I'll go on

       Am
Like a song

         Em
That you smile and sing along with

      C
Every time that it comes on
And it goes [Chorus]
G                                C
  Lay me down with sunburn on my face

                              Em
Talk about how I never act my age

                                        C
Still writing when they try to turn the page

                       G
That's the way I wanna go

                                  C
Out swinging with nothing left to prove

                                      Em
A leather jacket and fresh dirt on my boots

                       C
And a kiss from lips I know

                       G
That's the way I wanna go-o
[Outro]
C                        Em   C
  That's the way I wanna go-o-o

                       G       D   C           Em
That's the way I wanna go-o-o, oh,    oh oh oh oh

C                        G  D* C*  N.C.
