Zach Bryan - Tradesman: chords

 C
No one on this side of town
  F
Knows a good place for a boy to drown
      Am                          G
They look at me so strange when I talk
   C                                         F
I wish I was a tradesman learnin' from some beat
down old layman
          Am
On some hillside they ain't named yet
                  G
Sleepin' next to mountain fire smoke

And everyone lately's scarin' me
It's all backdoor deals and therapy
The only callous I've grown is in my mind
I wish I was a tradesman
Playin' with some tuned up tired string band
Somewhere out by the badlands
Way past closin' time

Chorus:
                   Am        G          C
So if you want to trade I'd say it's a hard
        F
earned mile
           Am         G             C      F
I want to sweat like hell, throw a hammer down
      Am          G            C             F
And know the old feelin' of a five o'clock smile
     Am            G       C    F   G
And know I didn't take no easy way out

There's somethin' more that I need
Than accolades and sympathy
Fatiguin' in the summer heat
While they smoke big cigars
So give me somethin' I can't fake
That rich boys can't manipulate
Somethin' real that they can't take
'Cause, Lord, I'm not your star

Chorus:
If you wanna trade, I'd say it's a hard earned mile
Wanna sweat like hell, throw a hammer down
And know the old feelin' of a five o'clock smile
And know I didn't take no easy way out

Everyone lately's scarin' me
It's all backdoor deals and therapy
The only callous I've grown is in my mind
