Em
I've been down to the bottom of a bottle
Am
I've lived my life stuck in full throttle
D Em D
And slowin' down, slowin' down keeps grindin' my gears
Em
And I took risks I never shoulda taken
Am
I broke hearts that didn't need breakin'
D Em D
And I don't know why, don't know why I can't cry tears
(Chorus:)
G
And I just can't seem to walk the line
D
It's always been easy to say goodbye
Am
When I'm always runnin'
C D
Ain't nothin' gonna change my mind
G
And I just can't seem to get a clue
D
I never seem to think things through
am C
It's T-U-F-F tuff, I can't win the fight
D Em
With the fool inside of me
Too many times I've had to learn the hard way
Made mistakes but tomorrow's a new day
I've been there, done that, I ain't lookin' back
Yeah and I lost track with man in the mirror
But a whiskey glass seemed to make things clearer
And I don't know why, don't know why but I've got it bad
Chorus
G
And when I'm about to get things straight
D
The fool in me takes a swing
Am C
He always seems to find a way to
D Em
Turn me upside down…yeah yeah
Chorus
Yeah fightin' the fool
Fightin' the fool inside of me
