[Verse]
G F C G
I was fifteen years old when I first ran away from home
F C G
I had six beers inside me, a skateboard and one set of clothes
G F C G
I was never gonna last long, cos hell I was just a boy
F C G
And now I'm older and I'm drunker and I still skateboard (Everyday, yeah)
[Chorus]
Em D C Em
Which day did I become a man?
Em D C
Was it the first time that I ran?
[Verse]
G F C G
I was sixteen years old when I first loved a girl
F C G
I still remember what it felt like, and just how much it hurt
G F C G
When I couldn't make her want me, so matter how close we were
F C G
And I don't seem to get hurt anymore, maybe that's because of her?
[Chorus]
Em D C Em
What made me into a man?
Em D C Em
Was it love I couldn't have?
Em D C G
Which day did I become a man?
[Bridge]
Bb F
Have I ever even changed?
Bb F
Cos I still feel the same.
Bb F C
Maybe manhood's just a simple numbers game
[Verse]
G F C G
I was nineteen years old when I first got my face kicked in
F C G
Well they robbed me and they stole my things and left me on the road
G F C G
I was just a little different inside me from that day on
F C G
And though I don't like to admit it now, I don't take shit from anyone
[Chorus]
Em D C Em
Was I turned into a man
D C Em
By cold bare-knuckled hands?
D C Em
Which day did I become a man?
D C Em
Can I write it on my hand?
D C Em
Is it something that somebody planned?
D C
Which day did I become a man?
[Outro]
