[Verse 1]
That CLittle League glove, it fit a little snug
Yeah, it wouldn't even close but coach said, C2/B"That's how they Am7make 'em, son
'Cause soon enough it'll take the shape of your hand"
Yeah, you Ffight that thing when it don't wanna beGnd
Then you break it iCn
[Verse 2]
That Cjust strung Gibson, sittin' in the window
Laid away every paycheck till I C2/Bhad enough to Am7get it home
Played it all night long, every song I wish I wrote
You think it Fsounds as good as it ever could right Gthen
Then you break it iCn
[Chorus]
Like these Fdusty boots that Cwalked me through
The Am7work that got me Ghere
And these Ffaded jeans with CSkoal can rings
I've Am7worn out all these Gyears
When the Fshine wears off and you Close that gloss
There's Am7so much more underGneath it all
You Fthink that good is as it can Gget
Then you break it iCn
[Verse 2]
That Cpickup truck that my dad picked up had a clutch
Man, it took me all summer just to C2/Blearn how to Am7get the hang
But she loved that thing on all those old back roads
You think Fgood is a no mud hood no gravel deGnts
Then you break it iCn
[Chorus]
Like these Fdusty boots that Cwalked me through
The Am7work that got me Ghere
And these Ffaded jeans with CSkoal can rings
I've Am7worn out all these Gyears
When the Fshine wears off and you Close that gloss
There's Am7so much more underGneath it all
You Fthink that good is as it can Gget
Then you break it iCn
[Bridge]
But Ftrucks break down and first love ends
GLife goes on and the world still spins
FYou find out your heart is stronger Gwhen
You break it iCn
[Chorus]
Like these Fdusty boots that Cwalked me through
The Am7work that got me Ghere
And these Ffaded jeans with CSkoal can rings
I've Am7worn out all these Gyears
When the Fshine wears off and you Close that gloss
There's Am7so much more underGneath it all
You Fthink that good is as it can Gget
Yeah, you Fthink that good is as it can Gget
Then you break it iCn, yeah
Yeah, you break iCn

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

That Little League glove, it fit a little snug

C2/B Am7

Yeah, it wouldn't even close but coach said, "That's how they make 'em, son

'Cause soon enough it'll take the shape of your hand"

F G

Yeah, you fight that thing when it don't wanna bend

Then you break it in

[Verse 2]

That just strung Gibson, sittin' in the window

C2/B Am7

Laid away every paycheck till I had enough to get it home

Played it all night long, every song I wish I wrote

F G

You think it sounds as good as it ever could right then

Then you break it in

[Chorus]

F C

Like these dusty boots that walked me through

Am7 G

The work that got me here

F C

And these faded jeans with Skoal can rings

Am7 G

I've worn out all these years

F C

When the shine wears off and you lose that gloss

Am7 G

There's so much more underneath it all

F G

You think that good is as it can get

Then you break it in

[Verse 2]

That pickup truck that my dad picked up had a clutch

C2/B Am7

Man, it took me all summer just to learn how to get the hang

But she loved that thing on all those old back roads

F G

You think good is a no mud hood no gravel dents

Then you break it in

[Chorus]

F C

Like these dusty boots that walked me through

Am7 G

The work that got me here

F C

And these faded jeans with Skoal can rings

Am7 G

I've worn out all these years

F C

When the shine wears off and you lose that gloss

Am7 G

There's so much more underneath it all

F G

You think that good is as it can get

Then you break it in

[Bridge]

But trucks break down and first love ends

Life goes on and the world still spins

F G

You find out your heart is stronger when

You break it in

[Chorus]

F C

Like these dusty boots that walked me through

Am7 G

The work that got me here

F C

And these faded jeans with Skoal can rings

Am7 G

I've worn out all these years

F C

When the shine wears off and you lose that gloss

Am7 G

There's so much more underneath it all

F G

You think that good is as it can get

F G

Yeah, you think that good is as it can get

Then you break it in, yeah

Yeah, you break in
