C                         G                                  C 
Didn't I make you proud, go and lay my life down, when you called my name. 
 
C                                 G                          C 
I thought I stood for something, was doin' the right thing when I went away. 
 
F                                                C                                 G 
Now being back should be so simple, but I keep getting these mixed signals from everyone. 
 
F                                     C                               G 
Why do folks sit and judge me, who ain't seen what I seen or did what I done. 

C                        F                 C 
Didn't I burn, didn't I bleed, enough for you. 
 
C               F                             C 
I faced, your fears, felt pain so you won't have to. 
 
  G                                  F 
Yeah didn't I do my best, It wasn't home here when I left.
