[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
 
[Outro]
C                        Em   C
  That's the way I wanna go-o-o
                       G       D   C           Em
That's the way I wanna go-o-o, oh,    oh oh oh oh
C                        G  D* C*  N.C.
  That's the way I wanna go
 
[Solo]
N.C.                 | G   D* | C | Em D |
       Let er go boys
C                              G    C        Em  D

  Yeah, that's the way I wanna go
D          C                    G  | C  | Em  D | C
That's the way, the way I wanna go
              I'm a strange kind of thunder
I'm a different kind of storm
Hellbent and hardheaded since the day that I was born
No, there's no water deep enough to drown the fire inside
It might make it hard to love me
But I hope I'm worth the ride

And I'll go on
Like a stone
I'll be holding ground right here
But when I'm gone

Lay me down with sunburn 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

I got scars across my knuckles
Just like my old man's
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
Like a song
That you smile and sing along with every time that it comes on
And it goes

Lay me down with sunburn 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
That's the way I wanna go
That's the way I wanna go
That's the way I wanna go

Yeah, that's the way I wanna go
Yeah
Yeah, that's the way I wanna go
That's the way, the way I wanna go
