Trying Like The Devil(Chords)

	        
Intro C 

verse 1 
              C 
Well, that golden halo doesn't go so well 
                             Am 
With my red bandana and blue jeans 
F 
God knows when I'm good, I'm good 
                                     C 
And when I'm good it's seldom, so it seems 

So they say fools play with fire 
                              Am 
I'm trying my best to not get burned 
        F 
While I soak myself in gasoline 
                                    C 
One would think by now I might have learned 

But I've never learned 

        F 
No, I'm not the man they think I am 
   Am                            C 
It weighs heavy on my heart and mind 
G/B   F                            Am 
 As I stumble every step along the way 
                               C 
Like a wino who can't walk the line 
G/B        Am 
 It's like tightrope walking on a windy day 
        F                                C 
There's heaven in her eyes and hell to pay 
G/B      Am 
 And I'm solid as a rock and sink in sand 
F                                     C 
Trying like the devil to be a good man
 

verse 2 
     C 
So beware of broken glass 
                                       Am 
Should you stare into the window of my soul 
             F 
And judge me not, I'll only bare it all 
                              C 
So you know that you are not alone 

You're not alone 

G/B      F 
 No, I'm not the man they think I am 
   Am                            C 
It weighs heavy on my heart and mind 
G/B   F                            Am 
 As I stumble every step along the way 
                               C 
Like a wino who can't walk the line 
G/B        Am 
 It's like tightrope walking on a windy day 
        F                                C 
There's heaven in her eyes and hell to pay 
G/B      Am 
 And I'm solid as a rock and sink in sand 
F                                     C 
Trying like the devil to be a good man 


Bridge 
G/B   Am 
Oh my God 
            F                     C 
Feed me the crumbs that fall upon your floor 
G/B      Am                       F 
As those saints walk through your pearly gates 
              C                             Em   G 
Lord, let the sinner crawl through your backdoor 
        Am        F    C 
Whoa-oh-oh  oh-oh-oh  oh 
G/B    Am        F    C 
 Oh-oh-oh  oh-oh-oh  oh 

G/B      F 
 No, I'm not the man they think I am 
   Am                            C 
It weighs heavy on my heart and mind 
G/B   F                            Am 
 As I stumble every step along the way 
                               C 
Like a wino who can't walk the line 
G/B             Am 
 Well, I'm like tightrope walking on a windy day 
        F                                C 
There's heaven in her eyes and hell to pay 
G/B   Am 
 I'm solid as a rock and sink in sand 
F                                      C 
Trying like the devil to be a good man 
G/B  Am 
 I'm solid as a rock and sink in sand 
          F 
Lord, I'm trying like the devil
