Against The Grain - Garth Brooks
G
1. Folks call me a maverick, guess I ain't too diplomatic,
F C G
I just never been the kind to go along
G
Just avoidin' confrontation for the sake of conformation
F C D
And I'll admit I tend to sing a different song.
Em D C
But sometimes you just can't be afraid to wear a different hat.
A D
If Columbus had complied this ol' world might still be flat.
G F
Nothin' ventured, nothin' gained.
C F G
Sometimes you've got to go against the grain.
G
2. Well, I have been accused of making my own rules
F C G
There must be rebel blood just a-runnin' through my veins.
G
But I ain't no hypocrite, what you see is what you get
F C D
And that's the only way I know to play the game.
Em D C
Old Noah took much ridicule for building his great ark
A D
But after 40 days and 40 nights, he was lookin' pretty smart
G F
Sometimes it's best to brave the wind and rain
C F G
By havin' the strength to go against the grain.
G
3. Well there's more folks than a few who share my point of view
F C G
But they're worried if they're gonna sink or swim
G
They'd like to buck the system, but the deck is stacked against them
F C D
And they're a little scared to go out on a limb.
Em D C
But if you're gonna make a difference, if you're gonna leave your mark.
A D
You can't follow like a bunch of sheep, you've gotta listen to your heart
G F
Go bustin' in like ol' John Wayne.
C F G
Sometimes you've got to go against the grain.
G F
Nothin' ventured, nothin' gained,
C F Em - G
Sometimes you've got to go against the grain.
