(No Capo)

(Intro.)
|(G) / / (Gmaj7)|(Em) / / / |(G) / / (Gmaj7)|(Em) / /

(Verse)
See the (G)silhouette underneath the streetlight glow
(Em)Leaned against a Caddie on a riverside road
A-(G)lone and lurkin'
A (Em)walk and purpose
(G)Even though I'm lonely and the crickets keep me chirpin'
A (Em)lightnin' bug sits with me on my shoulder
Re-(C)mindin’ me of how I'll shine when I'm older
(D) But for now

(Chorus)
I'm a (G)floor full of ashes in a '90 model car
A (Em)couple missin' teeth from chewin' 'bacco too long
(G)Fire with gas, my attitude's no act
And trouble (Em)was my middle name, it would fit my ass
In a (G)world where the music scene is planned and paid for (Em)
I'm (C)covered up, but not on the cover song (D)
I'm the other country (G)boy
Hmm, (Em)mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, (G)mm
Hmm, mm, (Em)mm, mm, mm, mm, mm

(Verse)
I'm (G)picture-perfect, I never learned it
(Em)What does that mean? Who's the judge and verdict?
(G)No one, they just think they are
(Em)My life's sweet, give me a Mason jar
A few (G)wooden planks some wouldn't call a porch
(Em)Livin' out anthems to be the torch
For the (C)imperfect girls and the boys like I once was (D)
(Em) Imperfect (C)is perfect if you ask someone like us (D)

(Chorus)
I'm a (G)floor full of ashes in a '90 model car
A (Em)couple missin' teeth from chewin' 'bacco too long
(G)Fire with gas, my attitude's no act
And trouble (Em)was my middle name, it would fit my ass
In a (G)world where the music scene is planned and paid for (Em)
I'm (C)covered up, and not (C/E)on the co-(D)ver song
I'm the other county (G) boy
Hmm, (Em)mm, mm the other country (G) boy
Hmm, mm, (Em)mm, mm, mm, (G)mm

(Verse)
I've gone (G)head-to-head with the biggest names
Got (Em)golds and platinums on my wall in frames
Talk (G)raw to the stars they ain't shootin' a thang (G/F#)
No (Em)EQ to give me a 'round-here twang
Came (G)natural, music city is my real birthplace
Tell the (Em)tourists if they're wildin' better pump them brakes
Or you're (C)gonna see a man that ain't playin' standin' in a bar (D)
(Bm) He's (C)one of us and not some coun-(C/E)try (D)star

(Chorus)
He's a (G)floor full of ashes in a '90 model car
A (Em)couple missin' teeth from chewin' 'bacco too long
Fire (G) with the gas, attitude no act
Trouble (Em)was his middle name, it would fit his ass
In a (C)world where the music scene is planned and paid for (Em)
He's (C)covered by us, but (C/E)not on the cover song (D)
He's the (D)other country boy (G) - - -
Hmm, mm, (Em)mm, mm, I'm other country (G) boy
(Em)Hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm mm mm (G) - - - - -
