Em G D Am C Well I've been hell hounded by a pack of wild lies Em G D Am C I've been dumbfounded by the fools you idolize Am G Spellbound by boredom too blind to realize D I forgot to tell the truth, forgot to act with proof Am C Or look into your eyes [Chorus] G Am On the straight and narrow C D G Be aware of which side you may fall Am C Its so hard to walk that line D G When you're just learnin' (to crawl) [Verse] Em G D Now a desperate wind blows through me Am C I'm a torn up window screen Em G D You handed me your blanket, it's full of holes Am C To match your promises unseen Em That same wind that shakes your bonnet G Rattles your lushest green D And it blows into the head of every redneck son Am C With a bitterness unseen [Bridge] Em C Am D Em No you can't leave it, you don't love it C Am D You don't even try to rise above it [Chorus] (x3) Em G D Am C Now I've been an honest outlaw, and a preacher man thievin' Em G D Am C A well contented beggar, And a millionaire grieving Em I have taken many trains in this life G That have stopped a little east of even D And that's an obvious excuse to throw your hands up and refuse Am C To have something to believe in
