G#
No there ain't nothing that I gotta prove
You think your words will make me black and blue
But I,
C#
I think I’m pretty with these old boots on
I think its funny when I drink too much, hey

G#
You try and change me you can go to hell
Cause I don't want to be nobody else
C#
I like the chip I got in my front teeth
And I got bad tattoos you won't believe
So

G#
Kick out the jams, kick up the soul
Pour another glass of that rock and roll
Turn up the band, fire in the hole
Gonna lose control tonight

Chorus:
             C#
What do you want from me,
Fm       D#        C#       Fm  D#
I'm not America’s sweetheart
             C#
So beat the drum with me,
Fm       D#         C#      Fm  D#
I'm not America’s sweetheart
           C#               Fm        D#
Well they say I'm too loud for this town
      C#              Fm        D#
So I lit a match and burned it down
             C#
What do you want from me,
Fm        D#       C#
I'm not Americas sweet heart
        Fm     D#   G#
But you love me anyway

My hands are dirty and my heart is cold
Them boys I've been with say I got no soul
When I, I meet another honey at the bar
I'll think it's funny when
I break his heart, mmm, now

My kinda medicine is whiskey straight
I got a mouth to put you in your place
And they, they said I'll never be the poster type
But they don't make posters of my kind of life

So kick out the jams, kick up the soul
Pour another glass of that rock 'n' roll
Turn up the band, fire in the hole
Gonna lose control tonight

Chorus

     Fm    D#   G#
You love me anyway
     Fm   D#    G#
You love me anyway

Kick out the jams, kick up the soul
Pour another glass of that rock 'n' roll
Turn up the band, fire in the hole
Holler if you're ready, gonna lose control

Kick out the jams, kick up the soul
Pour another glass of that rock 'n' roll
Turn up the band, fire in the hole
Gonna lose control tonight

Chorus

You love me anyway
You love me anyway

I'm not America's sweetheart
No, no, no
