Full Song
Verse 1
G C Em
I got a northern attitude, I got a head that’s hard to change
D G C
But my heart was made in kindness, it doesn’t always show the same
Em D G
I can be cold as wind, sharp as the frost
C Em D
But I warm up when you let me, even though I get lost
Chorus
G C Em
Forgive my northern attitude, oh I was raised on it
D G C
It’s a broken528 kind of gratitude that I’ve been given
Em D G C
I will learn to let you in, I will learn to let you in
Em D
Forgive my northern attitude
Verse 2
G C Em
We go to war with the ones we love, and sometimes it gets bad
D G C
But we hold on to the grudges that we wished we never had
Em D G C
I’m trying to be better now, I’m learning to be kind
Em D
But it doesn’t come easy with this northern state of mind
