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

On the crossroad to the devil, I'll dwell and I'll count my years

Am                             D

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.
