Better At Being Who I Am

G  D/F#  Em   C


[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
                            C
There's a good chance you won't want me back here
           Em               D/F#       C
I tried to be what you were looking for
    Em              D/F#    C
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
    C                            G      D/F#  C
I'm better at being who I am


[Verse 2]
G
I wasn't ever gonna change
                        D/F#
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
    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 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
      Em
Being something I ain't never had a chance
    C
I'm better at being who i am
