  D5
I put down my razor 

And toweled off my face. 
          B5
Thought I saw a new wrinkle. 

And another strand of grey. 
     G5
That one little scar kept catching my eye. 
  E5                        A5
Reminding me how time does fly 
      D5
I was only a kid 

When I had that first fight. 
      B5
But I still don't give in 

When I believe that i'm right. 
       G5
And at least I can stand here and like what I see. 
       E5                         A5
In the man that he turned out to be. 
                  G5
Lookin' back at my self. 
              B5
It's plain to see. 
                       E5
That the cold hands of time 
A5                        D5
 Ain't had much mercy on me. 
      C5          G5
But I played a straight game. 
A5                         B5
 With the cards that were delt. 
                         E5
But I can look straight a head  
G5       A5         D5
Looking back at my self. 
      D5
Now I ain't been no angel 

But I've learned right from wrong. 
          B5
Thanks to Mamma and a hickory 

And a love so strong. 
        G5
Yes she taught the rules that life is lived by. 
         E5                     A5
Ain't for got what you get for gettin' out a line 
             D5
Now this ol' world throws some punches 

And I've taken a few. 
       B5
Now my skins tuff as leather 

But I've grown strong with the truth. 
             G5
There's been so many times I coulda just stepped aside. 
       E5                               A5
Ah but then I couldn't stand here with this piece of mind. 
                  G5
Lookin' back at my self. 
              B5
It's plain to see. 
                       E5
That the cold hands of time 
A5                       D5
Ain't had much mercy on me. 
      C5          G5
But I played a straight game. 
A5                         B5
 With the cards that were delt. 
                         E5
But I can look straight a head  
G5       A5         D5
Looking back at my self. 
                     E5
Still look straight a head  
G5        A5         D5
 Looking back at my self.
