A
[Verse 1]
A
I was battle-torn and worn
D A
I was ravaged by scores of arrows
Bm
Thought about it for a little while
A
Realized that I could walk away some day
A
A rack of ties, a travel mug
D A
A telephone, a briefcase filled with papers
Bm
I thought about it for a little while
A
Realized I could leave the way I came
[Chorus]
D E
Oh my goodness, oh my my
A
Could've happened to me
[Verse 2]
A
At a border town I learned to keep my hat brim down
D A
And never talk to strangers
Bm
Thought about for a little while
A
Realized I was only a drop in rain
A
A rack of ties, a travel mug
D A
A telephone, a briefcase full of papers
Bm
I thought about it for a little while
A
Realized I was only a link in a chain gang, babe
D Dm
I always took their advice
A
I watched them lay down on the altar
F#
Just like human sacrifices
[Chorus]
D E
Oh my goodness, oh my my
A
Could've happened to me
D E
Oh my goodness, oh my my
A
Could've happened to me
D E
Oh my goodness, oh my my
A
Could've happened to me
