The Westerner

     Am
I was born one morning in December 
On the coldest day
 Em
Abandoned by my mother
      E7
By my father I was raised
   Am
My father raised my brother and I 
With a stubborn heart
   Em                              
My mother left me her good looks 
  E7
and confident charm.

       Am
Well I spent most of my teenage 
years Searching for her love
  Em
I could not find it anywhere
 E7
So I turned to drugs
    Am
And after all the smoke had cleared 
And it was said and done
  Em                           E7
I found myself addicted by the age 
of 21
           Am
I tell the truth

          Am
I've been beaten I've been bruised, 
I was left for dead as well
      Em
I was wrongfully accused
            E7
You left me locked inside a cell.
          Am
I've been cheated I've been sued, 
But I have lived to tell
    Em
The more you kick me when I'm down
    E7
The more it truly helps.

  Am
I feel the madness creeping slowly
 C
Loved by many I'm still lonely
 Dm
Pay the price for your mistake

    E7                         
The music died the day I walked 
 Am
away.

 Am                C
No, I wont let you win!
                 Dm
Not this time my friend,
                  E7
You know that I'm better in the end.
 Am                  C
No, you wont take my pride!
                      Dm
I'll keep my head held high.
                      E7
Cause I know that I'm better in the 
end.

Woaaah,
 Am
I know you're jealous And you wish 
you could be me
 Em                            
I'm so smart and clever with my 
 E7
lyrics can't you see?
 Am
There's nobody better in this Music 
Industry!
       Em                        
And in case you think you are, go 
       E7
ahead, give me a ring!

Woaaah,
 Am
I deserve a purple heart From all my
 fucking wounds!
 Em
Lacerations to my ego,
 E7
Pride that I consume.

    Am
And in your final hours When you are
 looking back
       Em                       
You'll find that I'm the best at 
        E7
what I do And that's a fact.

 Am                C
No, I wont let you win!
                 Dm
Not this time my friend,
                  E7
You know that I'm better in the end.
 Am                  C
No, you wont take my pride!
                      Dm
I'll keep my head held high.
                      E7
Cause I know that I'm better in the 
end.
               Dm
And all got to say
          Am          C   G      
(Do do do do do do do do, bah bah
     Dm
 bah da,
         Am          C    G
Do do do do do do do do, la la la la
 la la)
 Dm
Take it or leave it
    Am                       C
But you best believe me it's true!
 Dm                    Am         
There's no mistaking, please stop 
              C
thinking I'm through!
                         E7
You know I'm better than you!

 Am                C
No, I wont let you win!
                 Dm
Not this time my friend,
                  E7
You know that I'm better in the end.
 Am                  C
No, you wont take my pride!
                      Dm
I'll keep my head held high.
                      E7
Cause I know that I'm better in the 
end.
       Am
In the end.
                      C   G       
(Do do do do do do do do, bah bah 
    Dm
bah da,
         Am          C    G
Do do do do do do do do, la la la la
