[Verse 1]
D#m
I tried to be an honest man
G#m
Always doing things the best I can
Bmaj7 A#7 D#m
I smile and I wave to the people on the street
D#m
Travel 'round this promised land
G#m
Singing songs for the average man
Bmaj7 A#7 D#m
I don't hurt nobody, thought nobody'd hurt me
[Refrain]
G#m D#m
Change in the wind pushed me right off the track
G#m
I turned around for a minute
A#7
And you stabbed me right in the back
[Verse 2]
D#m
I tried to be an honest man

Always doing things the best I can

No idea who you are

Don't know how you got this far

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

You've taken all my money and taken up my time
Bmaj7 A#7
Lord, I've tried running but I'm caught in your fire

Hit by your words, now I'm caught in a noose by a stranger

Back down
