Born And Raised

                                                                      C Dm  F  G
she'd never let anyone ruin my life but they sure try.

Subsequent verses:

     C                 Am   F            G
The day that I turned 18 my grandfather told me, he said
  C        Am               F         G
"Chris, I think you should join the army".
       C                Am            F           G
I said I don't really think that I'm cut out for that,
        C       Am        F       G
no I'm fairly certain I wouldn't last.
       C            Am            F       G               C
But I do agree the benefits are quite astounding, but I know that
   Am              F              G       (G7) **
I would throw up if saw someone dying.

Chorus – same, but louder
    C     Am          F         G      C  Am   F   G
But if I went I would make the best of ev-ery   moment,
    C       Am          F          G          C     Am
and show respect to my commanding officer and come home with a
 F          G                    C  Dm  F  G
medal or something cool like that.



Just a few months ago my best friend inquired, he said
"Do you think you'll ever go back to college?" I said yeah, sure,
eventually when the time is right, when I find a university I kinda like.
Because I do agree the experience is quite enticing, if I don't get
too distracted by all the drinking.

But if I went I would make the best of every moment, and pay
attention to the teacher and come home with some knowledge or
something great like that.
