[Verse 1]
C                          Am
 I thought it happened when I 
took that first sip
F                   G       
 Out of a tall boy, thought, 
                 C
"Boy, ain't you tough?"
                            
They couldn't tell me nothin'
 Am
 when I got the keys to somethin'
F                          
 That can take seventeen me 
G                      F   Am   G
where that drag strip was
                            F     
But loose gravel don't love trucks,
 Am             G
 thought I was all grown up, but

[Chorus]
C                      Em      
 I found out fast that life can 
         F            C
put you back in your place

 world's right in your face
                 G/B         
When you're down upsides, too
                  F
 late to hit them brakes
                     F
Man near died, but a man 
was born that day

[Instrument]
 F   Am  G   F   Am  G 

[Verse 2]
C                           
 And that smoky college bong,
 Am
 I saw her on his arm
F                     G      
 And that seein' red, whiskey
                        F    Am
 said, "Throw the first punch"
               G
Next thing you know, I woke up
F  Am                G
     Thought I could take anyone, but

Found out real quick why
                     F
 sometimes you walk away

Swallow your pride, but a man

[Bridge]
         Am
Yeah, we had a plan now
G                       Fmaj7

 half wrote in blue paint
               G
Oh, but in the kitchen that day

[Chorus]

No pink lines, but a man 
was born that day

[Outro]
F   Am   G   F   Am   G   
F   Am  G     F   Am  G
