[Verse 1]
C#m E
I gotta try to do right when life's doing me wrong
F#m A G#7
Gotta shake the dust off my feet and keep marchin' on

A G#7
Yeah a pretty good place to be
[Pre-Chorus]

"The devil's got a target on my heart and my soul"

C#m E
I may never get money, I may never have fame
F#m A G#7
But if I'm ever in the spotlight, I'll point it back your way
