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

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

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

I was the one phone call, when my brother went to jail 
       C                 G 
had to pawn my guitar to pay his bail

I was the first man standin' next to my best friend

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 remembered that speech 
         F                      G                  C
