[Verse 1]
F#m
I tried to be an honest man

Always doing things the best I can
Dmaj7 C#7 F#m
I smile and I wave to the people on the street
F#m
Travel 'round this promised land
Bm
Singing songs for the average man
Dmaj7 C#7 F#m
I don't hurt nobody, thought nobody'd hurt me
[Refrain]
Bm F#m
Change in the wind pushed me right off the track
Bm
I turned around for a minute
C#7
And you stabbed me right in the back

No idea who you are

Don't know how you got this far

But you got me blinded and now I can't see

Lord, I've tried running but I'm caught in your fire
