Capo: 1st fret 
 
Intro: C 
 
(verse) 
C 
A mouth full of blood, one eye swolled shut  
C                                 
I mustered up one last punch  
F 
'fore I bit the dust  
C 
He was the biggest dog in that fight  
C 
But he picked on me for the last time 
F 
And I spent the night icin' down my pride  
 
(bridge) 
G 
Everyone in the whole 8th grade  
F 
Said I lost that fight that day  
G 
It was only him and me  
F 
That knew about my victory 
 
 
Chorus: 
C 
Comes a time when a man's gotta know where he stands  
F 
Gotta go with his heart,  
Bb                                 C 
Lick his wounds and live with his scars  
C 
Give all you can give, might lose, might win  
F 
Like that boy that became a man that day  
 
I'm fine either way 
 
(verse) 
The walls are bare  
There's an inch of dust on a broken frame  
Picture perfect once til she gave up  
I loved that girl with all I had 
For better or worse all went bad and that was that 
Naw she ain't looked back 
 
(bridge) 
She couldn't live with what I couldn't be  
But I've learned to live with me  
There's some things I didn't do right  
But I'm gonna sleep fine tonight 
 
(chorus) 
Comes a time when a man's gotta know where he stands 
Gotta go with his heart,  
lick his wounds and live with his scars  
Give all you can give, might lose, might win,  
She might stay gone she might come home today  
I'm fine either way 
 
F 
I plant my feet and you can bet my mind ain't gonna change 
F 
My best friends and my enemies wouldn't hesitate to say 
C                   G/B            Am              F 
I'm one of those guys you either love or you hate 
C 
I'm fine either way (repeat 2x) 
C  
I'm Fine
