[Verse 1]
Dm
I tried to be an honest man
Gm
Always doing things the best I can
A#maj7 A7 Dm
I smile and I wave to the people on the street
Dm
Travel 'round this promised land
Gm
Singing songs for the average man
A#maj7 A7 Dm
I don't hurt nobody, thought nobody'd hurt me
[Refrain]
Gm Dm
Change in the wind pushed me right off the track
Gm
I turned around for a minute
A7
And you stabbed me right in the back

Gm
Always doing things the best I can

Don't know how you got this far
A#maj7 A7 Dm
But you got me blinded and now I can't see
[Pre-Chorus]

You've taken all my money and taken up my time
A#maj7 A7
Lord, I've tried running but I'm caught in your fire
Dm F
Your heart must be cold 'cause I'm sensing danger
A#maj7 A7 Dm
Hit by your words, now I'm caught in a noose by a stranger

Dm
I tried to be an honest man
Gm
Know you're doing the best you can
A#maj7 A7 Dm
To push me and pull me and turn me back around

Traveled 'round this promised land

A#maj7 A7 Dm
And your evil spell's tryna bring me back down

Back down
