Trying Like The Devil

Key: C

Introduction:

      C  
verse 1
                                     C  
Well, that golden halo doesn't go so well
                                                                             Am  
With my red bandana and blue jeans
F  
God knows when I'm good, I'm good
                                                                                                  C  
And when I'm good it's seldom, so it seems
So they say fools play with fire
                                                                                Am  
I'm trying my best to not get burned
                     F  
While I soak myself in gasoline
                                                                                                C  
One would think by now I might have learned
But I've never learned
                     F  
No, I'm not the man they think I am
        Am                                                                         C  
It weighs heavy on my heart and mind
G/B      F                                                                         Am  
  As I stumble every step along the way
                                                                                  C  
Like a wino who can't walk the line
G/B                    Am  
  It's like tightrope walking on a windy day
                     F                                                                                    C  
There's heaven in her eyes and hell to pay
G/B              Am  
  And I'm solid as a rock and sink in sand
F                                                                                                 C  
Trying like the devil to be a good man
verse 2
             C  
So beware of broken glass
                                                                                                        Am  
Should you stare into the window of my soul
                                  F  
And judge me not, I'll only bare it all
                                                                                C  
So you know that you are not alone
You're not alone
G/B              F  
  No, I'm not the man they think I am
        Am                                                                         C  
It weighs heavy on my heart and mind
G/B      F                                                                         Am  
  As I stumble every step along the way
                                                                                  C  
Like a wino who can't walk the line
G/B                    Am  
  It's like tightrope walking on a windy day
                     F                                                                                    C  
There's heaven in her eyes and hell to pay
G/B              Am  
  And I'm solid as a rock and sink in sand
F                                                                                                 C  
Trying like the devil to be a good man
Bridge
G/B      Am  
Oh my God
                                F                                                      C  
Feed me the crumbs that fall upon your floor
G/B              Am                                                            F  
As those saints walk through your pearly gates
                                     C                                                                            Em      G  
Lord, let the sinner crawl through your backdoor
                     Am                    F         C  
Whoa-oh-oh    oh-oh-oh    oh
G/B         Am                    F         C  
  Oh-oh-oh    oh-oh-oh    oh
G/B              F  
  No, I'm not the man they think I am
        Am                                                                         C  
It weighs heavy on my heart and mind
G/B      F                                                                         Am  
  As I stumble every step along the way
                                                                                  C  
Like a wino who can't walk the line
G/B                                 Am  
  Well, I'm like tightrope walking on a windy day
                     F                                                                                    C  
There's heaven in her eyes and hell to pay
G/B      Am  
  I'm solid as a rock and sink in sand
F                                                                                                    C  
Trying like the devil to be a good man
G/B    Am  
  I'm solid as a rock and sink in sand
                          F  
Lord, I'm trying like the devil
