[Verse 1]
         Am7
I got my first when I turned eighteen
               C
You can barely see it, but I know what it means
         G
I got my next on tour Willie Nelson
G
Cheap motel, yeah, I was high as hell, son
                  Am7
This one's for my grandpa
Am7
This one's for my brothers
                 C
Gone, but not forgotten
C
Some bad motherfuckers
                    G
And you ain't gotta like it, or understand it
G
My body is a temple, but my temple is a canvas
 
 
[Chorus]
                      Am7
These ain't just some tattoos
Am7
This is who I am
                  C
This is what I've been through
C
This is where I stand
                G
This is where I came from, what I fight for, what I love
            D
What made a man out of that old boy that I was
                  Am7
And I ain't going back to
                          C
I didn't get 'em 'cause I had to
                          G
But these ain't just some tattoos
G
(But these ain't just some tattoos)
 
 
[Verse 2]
                        Am7
You can judge me by the cover, 'cause, hell, I wrote the book
              C
Hey, what you see is what you get, just look, man
                   G
This one's for the struggle
G
And this one's for addiction
G
This one's for forgiveness
G
And this one's for redemption
 
 
[Chorus]
                      Am7
These ain't just some tattoos
Am7
This is who I am
                  C
This is what I've been through
C
This is where I stand
                G
This is where I came from, what I fight for, what I love
            D
What made a man out of that old boy that I was
                  Am7
And I ain't going back to
                          C
I didn't get 'em 'cause I had to
                          G
But these ain't just some tattoos
G
(But these ain't just some tattoos)

This one's for the King who sent His Son to die
                  C
This one's for my queen and my little ones, the loves of my life
       G
Second chances
                   D
Yeah, my body is a temple, but my temple is a canvas
