[Verse 1]
G
When I was a young boy I used to play army
Cadd9 G G/F#
I'd invite my friends over to fight
Em
yea we'd line up our ranks and we'd say our grace
Cadd9 G
as we fought on into the night
well here now i do stand somewhere between a grown man
Cadd9 G G/F#
and a boy just playin with his friends
Em
yea I’ve taken the oath to protect and to hope
Cadd9 G
like my brother and my grandpas did
Cadd9 G
so mama I’m writing to say
Cadd9 G
that I’m finding im doin ok
Cadd9 Em D
yea im learning to learn that the hardest fight is within
[Chorus]
Cadd9 Em
So tell my paw, after all
Cadd9 G
he’s the best man I ever saw
Cadd9 Em D
and I'm sorry for the fights in my younger years
Cadd9 Em
and tell my big sister that i miss her
Cadd9 G

Cadd9 Em D
I'm a reckless romantic with a head as hard as nails
Cadd9 D
I'm just learning to be
Cadd9 Em A Em Cadd9 Em G
the man that I am
[Verse 2]
G
yea you were my sweetheart i asked you out of my car
Cadd9 G G/F#
at the schoolhouse on 4/21
Em
and our love had its faults and mostly at my cost
Cadd9 G
I was a lover who loved to have fun
G
time is a strange thing and my brain rearranged
Cadd9 G
the plans that i had for my life
Em
yea and part of that was splitting paths
Cadd9 G
with a girl who thought of being my wife
[Chorus]
Cadd9 Em
So tell your mother that I'm sorry
Cadd9 G
for making her little girl cry
Cadd9 Em D
theres another man she’s gunna make him a pretty bride
Cadd9 Em
and tell your father that I'm thankful
Cadd9 G
for the moments we shared in the past
Cadd9 Em D
He’s a good man with a heart as pure as gold
Cadd9 D
I'm just learning to be
the man I am
[Brigde]
Em
well this life is a strange thing
C D G
and God knows I've done things that I am not proud of
Em C
but His grace it amazes me the life and the truth it brings
D
I'm thankful its more than enough
[Chorus]
Cadd9 Em
So tell my paw, after all
Cadd9 G
he’s the best man I ever saw
Cadd9 Em D
and I'm sorry for the fights in my younger years
Cadd9 Em
and tell my big sister that I miss her
Cadd9 G
she was right about a couple of things
Cadd9 Em D
I'm a reckless romantic with a head as hard as nails
Cadd9 D
I'm just learning to be
the man that I am
