Ive Got The Scars To Prove It Tab

by The Road Hammers


I'm pretty sure these chords are right, except for the bridge. Just correct it 
yourself if it's wrong.

Tuning: Half-Step Down

Intro:    


I shake my head in disbelief 

At all my self inflicted grief
                                          
Had a strong right hand I wasn’t afraid to use it

My mama preached till her face was blue
          
But not a damn word seemed to make it through
                     
I’ve got the scars to prove it

(Chorus)
                
I ran on whiskey and burned like gas
  
I went too far I went too fast
                                  
I’d light a fire just to walk right through it
            
Busted bones and dreams and tears
   
Tattoo my heart like souvenirs
                                        
Life is just a word till you go through it
                                
I’ve got the scars to prove it

  
I lost good friends over foolish pride

Drank with the devil just to feel alive
                                    
I’d build a mountain then I'd try to move it
         
Yeah and I thought that I was pretty tough
           
Till I was brought down by a woman’s touch
                     
I've got the scars to prove it

(Chorus)


Now and then regrets may find me

But these marks are here to remind me
                    
Of where I went wrong what made me strong
    
And how I’ve moved on

  
I ran on whiskey and burned like gas

I went too far I went too fast
                                   
I’d light a fire just to walk right through it
            
Busted bones and dreams and tears
   
Tattoo my heart like souvenirs
                                 
Love is just a word till you go through it
                                        
Life is just a word till you go through it
                                  
I’ve got the scars to prove it
