[Verse 1]
G
Well you never liked them much
D/F#
But I broke out these old boots again
Em
Gonna jump in that old truck
C
Head down to the bar and hang out with an old friend
G
Been a while since I fired up a cigarette
D/F#
And got drunk on some draft beer
Em
Well where I’m going tonight

There’s a good chance you won’t want me back here

I tried to be what you were looking for

But I can’t do that anymore

[Chorus]
G
I’m better at being who I am
D/F#
Better at letting my rebel run
Em
And nothing about me worth a damn
C
If I can’t be my old man’s son
G
Your world and mine are worlds apart
D/F#
This ‘square peg, round hole’ thing’s too hard
Em
Being something that ain’t never had a chance

I don’t know who in the hell I thought I was kiddin’
Em                                                                                     C
For a little while there it seemed like the sex would make it all alright but it didn’t
G               D/F#               C
This ain’t my side of the tracks
G               D/F#               C
I got good at forgetting that

[Chorus 2]
G
I’m better at being who I am
D/F#
Better at letting my rebel run
Em
Ain’t nothing about me worth a damn

If I can’t be my old man’s son
G
Your world and mine are worlds apart

This ‘square peg, round hole’ thing’s too hard
Em
Being something I ain’t never had a chance
C
I’m better at being back on

[Bridge]
G
my side of town Back down to earth
D/F#
A blue jean boy and a flannel shirt
Em
I’m just not what you deserve
C
For what it’s worth, for what it’s worth

[Chorus]
G
I’m better at being who I am
D/F#
Better at being where I’m from
Em
Ain’t nothing about me is worth a damn
C
If I can’t be my old man’s son
G
Your world and mine are worlds apart
D/F#
This ‘square peg, round hole’ thing’s too hard

Being something I ain’t never had a chance

I’m better at being who i am
