Verse
Dm F A#
I spent my younger years in shame
Dm
Just a little boy
F A#
Taught that the world was all a sport
Dm
Hey kid, you'll see!
F
Fight hard and stay the course
A#
Then all that you see here is yours
Dm F A#
I guess they made a man of me
[Verse 2]
Dm F A#
Don't write it off, don't forget about
Gm Dm
What led you here like it didn't count
F A#
I learnt to walk by falling first
Gm A#
I'm still the kid covered in dirt
Gm
We are as we are taught
[Chorus 1]
Dm F A# Gm
Shake it off and shut your mouth
Dm F A# Gm
Suck it up, make father proud
Dm F
Go walk it off, go walk it off
A# Gm
You're not a man, go walk it off
Dm F A#
Go walk it off
Gm Dm F A#
We are as we are taught
[Verse 3]
Dm F A#
The war was hard but I was brave
Gm Dm
Answering the call
F A#
Please heal my wounds and keep me safe
Dm F
At night I'd sort my feelings out
A# Gm
Some things you just don't talk about
Dm F A#
At ten that's an awful place to be
[Verse 4]

Now I know it wasn't me

And I think I'm finally good enough

For any normal purposes

Is that all I'll ever be
