[Intro]
G C Em C
[Verse 1]
G
I'm a strange kind of thunder
C
I'm a different kind of storm
Em7 C
Hellbent and hardheaded since the day that I was born
G C
No, there's no water deep enough to drown the fire inside
Em7
It might make it hard to love me
C
But I hope I'm worth the ride
[Pre-chorus]
G
And I'll go on
C
Like a stone
Em7
I'll be holding ground right here
C
But when I'm gone
[Chorus]
G C
Lay me down with sunburn on my face
Em
Talk about how I never act my age
C
Still writing when they try to turn the page
G
That's the way I wanna go
C
Out swinging with nothing left to prove
Em
A leather jacket and fresh dirt on my boots
C
And a kiss from lips I know
G
That's the way I wanna go
[Verse 2]
G
I got scars across my knuckles
C
Just like my old man's
Em
A couple scuffs on my belt buckle
C
From the last time that I danced
G
Just wanna know I worked and tried enough
Am
I told the truth, I cried enough
Em7
Spoke my mind and laughed enough,
C
But when enough's enough
[Chorus]
G C
Lay me down with sunburn on my face
Em
Talk about how I never act my age
C
Still writing when they try to turn the page
G
That's the way I wanna go
C
Out swinging with nothing left to prove
Em
A leather jacket and fresh dirt on my boots
C
And a kiss from lips I know
G C Em C
That's the way I wanna go, oh yeah
[Pre-chorus]
G
And I'll go on
Am
Like a song
Em
That you smile and sing along with
C
Every time that it comes on
And it goes
[Chorus]
G C
Lay me down with sunburn on my face
Em
Talk about how I never act my age
C
Still writing when they try to turn the page
G
That's the way I wanna go
C
Out swinging with nothing left to prove
Em
A leather jacket and fresh dirt on my boots
C
And a kiss from lips I know
G
That's the way I wanna go-o

A couple scuffs on my belt buckle
From the last time that I danced
Just wanna know I worked and tried enough
I told the truth, I cried enough
Spoke my mind and laughed enough, but when enough's enough
Lay me down with sun burn on my face
Talk about how I never act my age
Still writing when they try to turn the page
That's the way I wanna go
Out swinging with nothing left to prove
A leather jacket and fresh dirt on my boots
And a kiss from lips I know
That's the way I wanna go
And I'll go on

That you smile and sing along with every time that it comes on
And it goes
Lay me down with sunburn on my face
