[Verse 1]
C#m
I tried to be an honest man
F#m
Always doing things the best I can
Amaj7 G#7 C#m
I smile and I wave to the people on the street
C#m
Travel 'round this promised land
F#m
Singing songs for the average man
Amaj7 G#7 C#m
I don't hurt nobody, thought nobody'd hurt me
[Refrain]
F#m C#m
Change in the wind pushed me right off the track
F#m
I turned around for a minute
G#7
And you stabbed me right in the back

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