(C) 13 in the thick of a cornfield
I (Am)learned to fight, keep (F)roads tied, and not chill

My first chance I (F)got out of Smallville
(C) Life has it's way of movin' (F)you on, don't it?

Solo:  |(C) |(Am)(F)|

(C) My first stop was a pawn shop
Dropped a (Am)pretty penny for a cheap (F)fender with a song in it
(C) I had a quick right hand, and an old band
(Am) I thought good friends (F) would make a good band
(C) Life has it's way of provin' (F)you wrong, don't it?

(Chorus)
I've been (C)right and I've been wrong
Somewhere (F)in between for (C)so long
Live the night, miss the light, and I've been (F)shown it
(C) Life has it's way of keepin' (F)you strong, don't it?

She (Am)never found out I'd (F)never come clean
(C) Life has it's way of leadin' (F)you on, don't it?

Somewhere (F)in between for (C)so long
Live the night, miss the light, and I've been (F)shown it
(C) Life has it's way of keepin' (F)you strong, don't it?
