[Intro]
C F C G
[Verse 1]
C F
I was a third string dreamer on a second place team
C G
but I was hell on wheels with a full head of steam
Am F G C
then coach put me in, and I'm still proud of that hit
[Verse 2]
C F
I was the last resort to go to prom with the queen
C G
thanks to an ex boyfriend that broke her heart that week
Am F G C
no I didn't get lucky, but I still felt like a king
F G C
and that might not mean much to you but it does to me
[Chorus]
F G
So say I'm a middle of the road, not much to show,
C G6 Am
under-achievin' average joe
F G
but I'm a hell of a lover, a damn good brother
C G6 Am
and I wear this heart on my sleeve
F G C
and that might not mean much to you but it does to me
C Am F G C
[Verse 3]
C F
One phone call, when my brother went to jail
C G
had to pawn my guitar to pay his bail
Am F G C
and I'll never get it back, and I'm okay with that
[Verse 4]
C F
I was the one man standin' next to my best friend
C G
The day the love of his life said I do to him
Am F G C
I was a couple beers deep, but I still remember that speech
F G C
and that might not mean much to you but it does to me
F G Am G6 C
F G Am G6 C
[Chorus]
F G
So say I'm a middle of the road, not much to show,
C G6 Am
under-achievin' average joe
F G
but I'm a hell of a lover, a damn good brother
C G6 Am
and I wear this heart on my sleeve
F G C
and that might not mean much to you but it does to me
[Chorus]
F G
So say I'm a middle of the road, not much to show,
C G6 Am
under-achievin' average joe
F G
but I'm a hell of a lover, a damn good brother
C G6 Am
and I wear this heart on my sleeve
[Outro]
F G
and I'm a damn hard workin', one thing's for certain
Am G6 C
I stand up for what I believe
F G C
and that might not mean much to you but it does to me
