Verse
Em G C
I spent my younger years in shame
Em
Just a little boy
G C
Taught that the world was all a sport
Em
Hey kid, you'll see!
G
Fight hard and stay the course
C
Then all that you see here is yours
Em G C
I guess they made a man of me
[Verse 2]
Em G C
Don't write it off, don't forget about
Am Em
What led you here like it didn't count
G C
I learnt to walk by falling first
Am C
I'm still the kid covered in dirt
Am
We are as we are taught
[Chorus 1]
Em G C Am
Shake it off and shut your mouth
Em G C Am
Suck it up, make father proud
Em G
Go walk it off, go walk it off
C Am
You're not a man, go walk it off
Em G C
Go walk it off
Am Em G C
We are as we are taught

Em G C
The war was hard but I was brave
Am Em
Answering the call
G C
Please heal my wounds and keep me safe

At night I'd sort my feelings out

Some things you just don't talk about
Em G C
At ten that's an awful place to be
