Trying Like The Devil chords by Aaron Watson

Chords with lyrics

Intro C majorC

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

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

But I've never learned

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

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

You're not alone

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

Bridge
G/BG/B  A minorAm
Oh my God
      FF           C majorC
Feed me the crumbs that fall upon your floor
G/BG/B   A minorAm            FF
As those saints walk through your pearly gates
       C majorC               E minorEm  G+G
Lord, let the sinner crawl through your backdoor
    A minorAm    FF  C majorC
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh
G/BG/B  A minorAm    FF  C majorC
 Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh

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