Start Jamming...
I started in the military for many years on two battlefronts, Iraq and Afghanistan.
Went through a lot in both, been blown up, shot and left for dead.
The one thing I kept doing was I just kept getting back up and going after it.
[Eb] [Bb] No matter what life [Eb] throws at you, the one thing you [Bb] gotta believe in is you gotta believe in yourself.
[Eb] [Bb] .
[Eb] I've got a number [Bb] on a napkin, [Eb] a pounding [Bb] in my head.
[Eb] It takes everything [Bb] I've got [Eb] to crawl [Bb] out of bed.
I lost [Eb] a hell [Bb] of a woman, [Eb] freedom caught me [Bb] on the chin.
[Cm] But I'm doing [Bb] alright [Eb] for the shape [Bb] I'm in.
[F] The [Eb] sun came up again [Bb] this morning, [F] I got a [Eb] call from a long [Bb] lost friend.
[F] Land [Eb] us a little road trip [Bb] down to [Gm] New Orleans.
[Eb] It ain't much, but it beats where [F] I've been.

[Bb] [F] Well, [Bb] [Eb] I'm [Bb] getting better [Eb] at barely [Bb] getting by.
[Eb] When I look [Bb] at her picture, [Eb] I don't break [Bb] down and cry.
[Eb] And all this [Bb] time I hold my hands, [Eb] it's getting easier [Bb] to spend.
[Eb] Cause I'm doing [Bb] alright [Eb] for the shape [Bb] I'm in.
[F] The [Eb] sun came up [Bb] again this morning, [F] I [Eb] took my old fastback [Bb] for a spin.
[F] [Eb] Now when it rains, it [Bb] ain't [Gm] always boring.
And [Eb] I'm learning how to [F] live again.

One piece of advice I can give to anybody out there today who's going through some trying times, you know,.
with whatever it is, the jobs, the money, the house, or anything like that,.
just [A] never give up and never quit and keep getting back up and going forward.
And you'd be surprised at what you can do.
