Born And Raised Chords

Fake Problems – “Born & Raised”


1st Verse – no guitar, drums only
On April 29th, 1980-something, I was born to a new proud mother. 
She said she would always care for me 'til the day she died, and 
								      C Dm  F  G
she'd never let anyone ruin my life but they sure try.

Subsequent verses:

     C                 Am   F            G      
The day that I turned 18 my grandfather told me, he said 
  C        Am               F         G                 
"Chris, I think you should join the army". 
       C                Am            F           G    
I said I don't really think that I'm cut out for that, 
        C       Am        F       G     
no I'm fairly certain I wouldn't last. 
       C            Am            F       G               C        
But I do agree the benefits are quite astounding, but I know that 
   Am              F              G       (G7) **   
I would throw up if saw someone dying.

Chorus – same, but louder
    C     Am          F         G      C  Am   F   G 
But if I went I would make the best of ev-ery   moment, 
    C       Am          F          G          C     Am             
and show respect to my commanding officer and come home with a 
 F          G                    C  Dm  F  G 
medal or something cool like that.



Just a few months ago my best friend inquired, he said 
"Do you think you'll ever go back to college?" I said yeah, sure, 
eventually when the time is right, when I find a university I kinda like. 
Because I do agree the experience is quite enticing, if I don't get 
too distracted by all the drinking.

But if I went I would make the best of every moment, and pay 
attention to the teacher and come home with some knowledge or 
something great like that.

** I like to add in the G7 cause it sounds good, but not required
