C 	  	  	    G 
My brakes are on fire from tryin to slow down 
           Am                     F 
Im always burning my tires and my horn is too loud 
C                            G 
I catch people starin lookin funny at me 
        Am                      F 
When I step to the window and I toss a tv 
 
C G F - Instrumental 
 
(verse 2) 
C                            G 
Sometimes I get crazy and it makes a big scene 
           Am                   F 
But when I hit 21 I wanna stand up and scream 
C                                    G 
Im filthy rich with laughter, Im too big for the room 
              Am                       F 
You know from two stories up, a zenith makes a big boom 
 
(chorus) 
C                           G 
Its hard to get around in a six foot town 
          Am                 F 
When your ten feet tall everything is so small 
C                                     G 
Im always bumping my head, im way too long for the bed 
         Am                 F             C 
Yeah its hard to get around in a six foot town

(verse 3) 
C                         G 
Some people live inside a tiny little box 
Am                           F 
There preoccupied about just matchin their socks 
C 	  	       G 
Ive never been one to worry about much

I just wanna laugh, wanna love, wanna live it up 
 
(chorus) 
 
(bridge) 
F                             G 
And sometimes I stumble just because of my size 
F                   G 
But hey yall thats alright 
F 
Thats the way god made me 
G 
I am what I am 
F                          Am 
And I can't do nothin bout that...ohh but its 
(repeat chorus 2x)

This is a great song.  Im guessing it was perhaps written by Big Kenny?  Either 
way hats off to B&R. This is played in standard tuning from what I can tell.   
Also this is my first tab from scratch so any input is appreciated.
