Ain't it funny how life can change you
A augmentedA           D MajorD   A augmentedA
Ain't it funny how life don't change
A augmentedA
Ain't it funny how life rearranged you
   D MajorD             A augmentedA
Put a bullet where a bullet don't fit
    D MajorD             A augmentedA
Put a bullet where a bullet don't fit

Verse 2:

Growin' up never thought too much about dyin'
Growin' up I never thought too much of nothin' at all

At 24 can't get my feet off the ground
At 24 can't get my feet off the ground

Chorus:
      D MajorD    A augmentedA      D MajorD       A augmentedA
Whether I'm right or wrong, same chorus to a simple song
    D MajorD           A augmentedA    E MajorE
Spouts a sonnet to the broken sun and me
    D MajorD    A augmentedA       D MajorD        A augmentedA
If I was a holy man, the same leader of a broken band
    D MajorD           A augmentedA    E MajorE             A augmentedA
Selling hate in the promised land, that's me, Oh oh oh, that's me

Verse 3:

Ain't it funny how life can shame you
A augmentedA crooked arrow or a broken bow
I'm so sick and tired of pretending
Putting feeling where a feeling don't grow
Putting feeling where a feeling don't grow

Selling hate in the promised land, that's me, Oh oh oh, that's me

Whether I'm right or wrong, same chorus to a simple song

Selling hate in the promised land, that's me, Oh oh oh, that's me

End on A.
