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


(pre-cho)
         E                  A
Sometimes I forget to say I love you,
   E                        A   B
but baby please know that I do yea,



(chorus)
E                      B                        A
I live this life everyday I make my share of mistakes,
                        B                       A    B
and every lesson I've learned I've learned the hard way,
E                        B                        A
I do the the best that I can and I hope you understand,

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)
E                      B                        A

                        B                       A    B
and every lesson I've learned I've learned the hard way,
E                        B                        A
I do the the best that I can and I hope you understand,
