Trying Like The Devil

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
And when I'm good it's seldom, so it
 C
 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
One would think by now I might have 
C
learned

But I've never learned

[Chorus]
        F
No, I'm not the man they think I am
   Am                            C
It weighs heavy on my heart and mind
G/B   F                           
 As I stumble every step along the
 Am
 way
                               C
Like a wino who can't walk the line
G/B        Am
 It's like tightrope walking on a 
windy day
        F                          
There's heaven in her eyes and hell
      C
 to pay
G/B      Am
 And I'm solid as a rock in sinkin' 
sand
F                                 
Trying like the devil to be a good
    C
 man

[Verse 2]
     C
So beware of broken glass
Should you stare into the window of 
   Am
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

[Chorus]
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                           
 As I stumble every step along the
 Am
 way
                               C
Like a wino who can't walk the line
G/B        Am
 It's like tightrope walking on a 
windy day
        F                          
There's heaven in her eyes and hell
      C
 to pay
G/B      Am
 And I'm solid as a rock in sinkin' 
sand
F                                 
Trying like the devil to be a good
    C
 man

[Bridge]
G/B   Am
Oh my God
            F                     
Feed me the crumbs that fall upon 
C
your floor
G/B      Am                       
As those saints walk through your 
F
pearly gates
              C                    
Lord, let the sinner crawl through 
         Em   G
your backdoor
        Am        F    C
Whoa-oh-oh  oh-oh-oh  oh
G/B    Am        F    C
 Oh-oh-oh  oh-oh-oh  oh

[Chorus]
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                           
 As I stumble every step along the
 Am
 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                          
There's heaven in her eyes and hell
      C
 to pay
G/B   Am
 I'm solid as a rock and sink in 
sand
F                                 
Trying like the devil to be a good
     C
 man
G/B  Am
 I'm solid as a rock in sinkin' sand
          F
Lord, I'm trying like the devil
