[Strophe]
C 
People always ask why I wear black 
Em                        D                 C 
Where'd I get my style and why I never smile in pictures 
C 
They ask me what I drink 
                          Em               D               C 
I'll sip on anything but I'm a little more California smoke than liquor  
         Em        D      C                     Am           C 
No, it ain't that I'm self-conscious, I'm just conscious of myself
[Refrain]
      G         Em 
I'll side with the outsiders 
        D                     Em 
Those long-shot last-round fighters 
   G              Em                 D 
Anyone who ain't afraid to stray off course 
           C                 Em 
My heart bleeds for country music 
            D              G 
Where the honest outlaw truth is 
                 Em 
No, I ain't no white knight 
        D 
I'm a little more 
Em   C 
Dark horse

[Strophe]
     C                          Em 
No, I don't go to church, can't quote a bible verse 
                                        D                   C 
I couldn't sing a song but that don't mean that I don't talk to Jesus 
C 
Girls say I push them off, that I can't open up 
         Em                        D             C           Em 
But I ain't afraid of love, when I say it I just want to mean it
[Refrain]
          G            Em 
Yeah, I side with the outsiders 
           D                 Em 
Those long-shot last-round fighters 
                                      D 
Anyone who ain't afraid to stray off course 
            Em 
My heart bleeds for country music 
             D             G 
Where the honest outlaw truth is 
                 Em 
No, I ain't no white knight 
                D 
I'm a little more 
       G     Em  D 
Dark horse 
[Pont]
        Em       D            C                 Em      D     C 
No, it ain't that I'm self-conscious, I'm just conscious of myself 
        G                Em        Am 
And I don't know how to be nobody else
[Refrain]
 Em   G            Em 
So I side with the outsiders 
        D                    Em 
Those long-shot last-round fighters 
  Em                                   D 
Anyone who ain't afraid to stray off course 
           C            Em 
My heart bleeds for country music 
           D             G 
Where my honest outlaw truth is 
                 Em 
No, I ain't no white knight 
               D 
I'm a little more 
    C 
Dark horse
