(verse 1)
       A5
I'm a Blue collar man had a hammer in my hand,
       E5
For the last few years of my life,
      A5
Workin double over-time while you sleep alone at night,
    C#5                            B5
baby I know it's been a long hard ride,


(pre-cho)
         E5                  A5
Sometimes I forget to say I love you,
   E5                        A5   B5
but baby please know that I do yea,



(chorus)
E5                      B5                        A5
I live this life everyday I make my share of mistakes,
                        B5                       A5    B5
and every lesson I've learned I've learned the hard way,
E5                        B5                        A5
I do the the best that I can and I hope you understand,
       B5       A5      B5 - E5 - B5 - A5 - C#5 - B5 
After all I'm just a man,



(verse 2)
I found a postcard that you saved just turned yellow with age,
of a beautiful place in the sun,
we've been sayin every year that we're gonna go there and runa away,
just the two of us,

(pre-cho)

grabed my key's I gotta get back to work yea,



(chorus)
E5                      B5                        A5

                        B5                       A5    B5
and every lesson I've learned I've learned the hard way,
E5                        B5                        A5
I do the the best that I can and I hope you understand,
