Bendin The Rules And Breakin The Law

Intro: | G  A |  Bm     | x2
Verse: 1
G                A             Bm
Growing up I was always mama's angel
G             A              Bm
Never new I'd ever fall from grace
        G                 A                 Bm
I was taught to walk With God and run from trouble
         G                                         A
But I ran with a crowd that was bound to change my ways

Chorus:
         D
I was proud to be in the bad news crowd
       A
The one my mama warned me about
       Bm            A                G
The closest thing to hell she'd ever raised
            D                                 A
But when I look back on those days I knew I'd never change a thing
   Bm                A                    G
I made mistakes that paved the way to the man I am today
                 Dsus2           A  (let A ring)
I’m proud of em all, and I had a ball

        G                   A                    Bm
Yeah my claim to fame was a babe Ruth swing on a mailbox
