E
You can't sneak your way up the ladder
F#m
Have it handed to you on a silver platter
A
It don't depend on who or what you know
E
It won't rub off of some movie star
F#m
You gotta bang it out on a cheap guitar
A
It doesn't matter what you drive
E7
It's how you go
[Chorus]
C#m Amaj
If I'm gonna play. I'm gonna play loud
Emaj
Pour the midnight oil, let it all burn out
C#m Amaj
If I'm gonna love, I'm gonna love big
Emaj
I wasn't born to hold nothin' back from you
and that's the way it is
G
I don't want life watered-down
Amaj
I wanna drink it strong
E7
Until it's gone, until it's gone
Instrumental Break reapeating Chorus
( Whoohoo hoo, Whoohoo hoo, Whoohoo)
E
Well, nobody here sent for you, son
F#m
There's a million roads but you just get one
A
Treat every quarter inch like a hundred yards
E
Better swing your groove
Like you swing your hammer
F#m
Sing like Cash did in the slammer
A E7
You can't go half at it, ya got to nail it hard
[Chorus X2]
