[Verse 1: Matthew Thiessen]
Bm A
The time came when you had to hit the pavement
Em
You grew it like a caveman
F# G
Never going clean again
A Bm
Venturing out on your own
Bm
I had to give it to you
A
I was always acting cuckoo
Em
Thinking there was something
F# G
That I'd actually be kinda scared-a
A Bm
But I will be a man of stone
[Chorus: Thiessen]
G Em
Take it down, break it over
Bm
Until they fit together
A G
Move the pieces all around
Em Bm A
Break it over, from now on
G
From now on
Em Bm A
It's up to me to set the tone
G
From now on
Em Bm A
I will be a man of stone
G Em Bm
From now on
[Verse 2: Thiessen & Ellie Schmidly/Thiessen]
Bm
You got your ink
A
But you think you might have taken it
Em
Too far before forsaking it
F# G
You covered up your nakedness
A Bm
Now all you own is curtain clothes
Bm A
It's not a sin when your skin is telling everything
Em
How could you ever lie about
F# G
The girls that you were trying out?
A Bm
Laurie, Laura, Lauren Rose
[Chorus: Thiessen]
G Em
Take it down, break it over
Bm
Until they fit together
A G
Move the pieces all around
Em Bm A
Take it over, from now on
G
From now on
Em Bm A
It's up to me to set the tone
G
From now on
Em Bm A
I will be a man of stone
G Em
From now
[Bridge: Thiessen & Robert Gay]
Em F#
On my honor I will do my best
G A Em
To do my duty to God and my country
F# G A
To God and my country
[Outro: Thiessen & Schmidly/Thiessen]

Break it down, take it over

Until they fit together

Take it over, from now on

Break it down, take it over
Bm
Until they fit together
A G
Move the pieces all around
Em Bm A
Take it over, from now on

It’s up to me to set the tone

I will be a man of stone

It’s up to me to set the tone

From now on

I will be a man of stone
