Key: G

Intro:

G D Em Bm C G D D


Chorus:

    G                Bm               Em
The trouble with the straight and the narrow
       D          C            Em         Am
Is its so thin, I keep sliding off to the side
        C     D          C            D        G    C   G  D
And the devil makes good use of these hands of mine
       G            Bm                 Em
And if Jesus is the straight path that saves
         D            C             Bm          Am
Then I'm condemned to live my whole life on the curb
       C                D           C              D        G    C   G  D
On the crossroad to the devil, I'll dwell and I'll count my years


BRIDGE:

Am                             D
  You know that I got a little something I should say
Am                         D
  I guess that I'm just so easily led astray
Am7                    D                      Bm             E
  It's alright because I know my own way back home    . from here
Am      Am7               D
  And I don't fall of the wagon you know
Am7                       D
  I take a dive and go as deep as I can go
Am7                                  D                    G       C   D
  Don't hold your breath because I'm coming up slow, this time.


Chorus:

    G                Bm               Em
The trouble with the straight and the narrow
       D          C            Em         Am
Is its so thin, I keep sliding off to the side
        C     D          C            D        G    C   G  D
And the devil makes good use of these hands of mine

Am                        D               Am7

Am                       D            Am7
  I guess that I keep on taking a few(taking a few)
Am7                          D                     Bm            E
  I've been told its not the best thing that I can do    . right now
Am7                      D                    Am7
  And I don't go looking for my sins you know(for my sins)
                                    D             Am7
  They come out waiting, and I just get on and go(thats where I go)
                                     D                   G      C   D
  Don't hold your breath because I'm coming up slow this time


Chorus:
        G                Bm               Em
And the trouble with the straight and the narrow
       D          C            Em         Am
Is its so thin, I keep sliding off to the side
        C     D          C            D        G    C   G  D
And the devil makes good use of these hands of mine


       G            Bm                 Em
And if Jesus is the straight path that saves
         D            C             Bm          Am
Then I'm condemned to live my whole life on the curb
       C                D           C              D        G    C   G  D
On the crossroad to the devil, I'll dwell and I'll count my years

    And the devil makes,(straight n narrow so biiiiig)
Am            D
    the devil makes,(straight n narrow so biiiiig)
