Verse
Bm D G
I spent my younger years in shame
Bm
Just a little boy
D G
Taught that the world was all a sport
Bm
Hey kid, you'll see!
D
Fight hard and stay the course
G
Then all that you see here is yours
Bm D G
I guess they made a man of me
[Verse 2]
Bm D G
Don't write it off, don't forget about
Em Bm
What led you here like it didn't count
D G
I learnt to walk by falling first
Em G
I'm still the kid covered in dirt
Em
We are as we are taught
[Chorus 1]
Bm D G Em
Shake it off and shut your mouth
Bm D G Em
Suck it up, make father proud
Bm D
Go walk it off, go walk it off
G Em
You're not a man, go walk it off
Bm D G
Go walk it off
Em Bm D G
We are as we are taught
[Verse 3]
Bm D G
The war was hard but I was brave
Em Bm
Answering the call
D G
Please heal my wounds and keep me safe

At night I'd sort my feelings out
G Em
Some things you just don't talk about
Bm D G
At ten that's an awful place to be
