Verse 1:
D MajorD
There’s a world on fire

Feels like a bad dream
     G+G
Did the hammer come down?

Feels like a kick in the teeth
     A augmentedA
All this down on my luck
           G+G
Has been gettin' me down on my knees
         D MajorD
Might have been something I need

Chorus:
        G+G
'Cause I been chasin, rat racin'

Doin' anything to win
  D MajorD
Now my grass looks like Augusta

I got around to paintin' that fence
    G+G
I been callin' up my mama, doin' some old friend checkin' in
  D MajorD
It seems like where I'm going might be better than where I been
  B minorBm           A augmentedA
'Cause with all this goin' on
     G+G         D/F#D/F#        E minorEm    G+G
Findin' right in all this wrong and I finally see
          D MajorD
The good Lord knows better than me


Verse 2:
 D MajorD
I got a little less in the bank

I get a little more sleep
     G+G
I get a little more use out of that old porch swing
      A augmentedA             G+G
I got a little more her holdin' on to little more me
    D MajorD
Feel a little more free

Chorus:
 G+G
'Cause I been chasin, rat racin'

Doin' anything to win
    D MajorD
Now my grass looks like Augusta

And I got around to paintin' that fence
    G+G
I been callin' up my mama, doin' some old friend checkin' in
    D MajorD
And it seems like where I'm going might be better than where I been
      B minorBm       A augmentedA
'Cause with all this goin' on
     G+G         D/F#D/F#        E minorEm    G+G
Findin' right in all this wrong and I finally see
          D MajorD
The good Lord knows better than me
    D MajorD
Knows better than me


Verse 3:
    D MajorD
If the world does end

I'll take the last day slow
   G+G
If He does come back

I know where I'll go
      A augmentedA
But if He takes His time
     G+G
Well I've learned one thing
          D MajorD
The good Lord knows better than me


Chorus:
 G+G
'Cause I been chasin, rat racin'

Doin' anything to win
   D MajorD
I've made more time for fishin'

And got my old truck runnin' again
    G+G
I went home to see my mama, been good hearing from old friends
  D MajorD
It seems like where I'm going might be better than where I been
   B minorBm       A augmentedA
With all this goin' on
      G+G       D/F#D/F#        E minorEm   G+G
I found the writin' on the wall and I finally see
          D MajorD          G+G
The good Lord knows better than me


Post-Chorus:
        D MajorD
Good Lord knows better than me
