Trying Like The Devil chords by Aaron Watson

Intro C

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

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

But I've never learned

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

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

You're not alone

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

Bridge
G/B   Am
Oh my God
            F                     C
Feed me the crumbs that fall upon your floor
G/B      Am                       F
As those saints walk through your pearly gates
              C                             Em   G
Lord, let the sinner crawl through your backdoor
        Am        F    C
Whoa-oh-oh  oh-oh-oh  oh
G/B    Am        F    C
 Oh-oh-oh  oh-oh-oh  oh

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