[Verse]
                           E7     A7    
Grew up under yellow light on the street
                              B          
Putting too much faith in the makebelieve
B7                      A7       A    E
And another high school football team ■
                       E                 
The neighbor's brother came home in a box
A7                           A          B    
But he wanted to go so maybe it was his fault
            B7    B                     A    
Another red heart taken by the American dream
Dbm7                                          
And I feel it there in the middle of the night
B                                  A E          
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'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                         E   
It's just not my year but I'm all good out here
               A                                          
Sunday morning hands over my knees in a room full of faces


[Bridge]
    B                                       Dbm7  
I'm sorry if I sound off but I was probably wasted
A                      
And didn't feel so good
E                                     
A life of whiskey but I always deliver
A               E                          A     
Jesus if you're listening let me handle my liquor
B                        
And Jesus if you're there
         Dbm7          Amaj7              A
Why do I feel alone in this room with you ■
B       E                                       
■ And I feel it there in the middle of the night
B                                             A   
When the lights go out but I'm still standing here


[Verse]
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 but I'm all good out here


[Chorus]
E                                            
Say what you want but say it like you mean it
          A                            
With your fist for once a long cold war
          B                
With your kids at the front
                      A                   
Just give it one more day then you're done
  E                        Emaj7         
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             A        
For me for me for me for me
E A B A E A B E
