How I Got To Be This Way Chords

Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

(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)
