Capo 1

(G-F-C-G)  x2

I rolled my Daddy's truck off the (F) Dicksonville curve
After (C) drinkin' my fifth beer
And (G) I fed hogs tryin' to (F) pay him off
For (C) most of my senior year

I got my (G) jaw jacked by a (F) big ol' boy
For (C) messin' 'round with his (F) girlfriend
She was (G) tall and tight and she (F) kissed just right
But I'll (C) never do that again

(Chorus)
(G) Yeah (F) I've done some (C) pretty stupid things but (G) hey
I'm a little bit harder and
A (F) whole lot smarter
That's (C) how I got to be this way

(G-F-C-G)

I've been kicked in the (F) face by a horse
'Cause I (C) ran up too fast behind him
And (G) I shook hands on a (F) deal with a man
And (C) found out he was lyin'

I've (G) broken a couple of (F) good girl's hearts
'Cause I've (C) said I loved 'em knowin' I (F) couldn't
(G) And I've given my (F) heart to a woman
Who said she'd (C) stay when I knew she wouldn't

Chorus

I've been (F) bit I've been (C) burned
But I've (F) lived and I've (C) learned from (G) it
I've (F) made some (C) mistakes but (F) that's what it (C) takes
To (D) make a man out of a kid

Chorus x2

That's (G) how I got to be this
(F) How I got to be this
(C) How I got to be this (G) way hey
(G-F-C-G)
