    Ive Got The Scars To Prove It

I'm pretty sure these chords are right, except for the bridge. Just correct it 
yourself if it's wrong.

Tuning: Half-Step Down

Intro: G F C G

G
I shake my head in disbelief 
F
At all my self inflicted grief
      C                                    G
Had a strong right hand I wasn’t afraid to use it
G
My mama preached till her face was blue
          F
But not a damn word seemed to make it through
C                     G
I’ve got the scars to prove it

(Chorus)
  Cadd9              D
I ran on whiskey and burned like gas
  G
I went too far I went too fast
F               C                   G
I’d light a fire just to walk right through it
Cadd9            D
Busted bones and dreams and tears
   G
Tattoo my heart like souvenirs
F              C                   D       C
Life is just a word till you go through it
                  G            F  C
I’ve got the scars to prove it

  G
I lost good friends over foolish pride
F
Drank with the devil just to feel alive
C                                    G
I’d build a mountain then I'd try to move it
         G
Yeah and I thought that I was pretty tough
           F
Till I was brought down by a woman’s touch
C                     G
I've got the scars to prove it

(Chorus)

F
Now and then regrets may find me
C
But these marks are here to remind me
   Am                 Eb
Of where I went wrong what made me strong
    C
And how I’ve moved on

  G
I ran on whiskey and burned like gas
F
I went too far I went too fast
C                                   G
I’d light a fire just to walk right through it
Cadd9            D
Busted bones and dreams and tears
   G
Tattoo my heart like souvenirs
F              C                   D
Love is just a word till you go through it
F              C                   D       C
Life is just a word till you go through it
                  G            F  C  G
I’ve got the scars to prove it
