x [Em]           [Am]                 [Em]               [Am]
     Used to be younger,           out on the    hard streets,
     Gettin' high on crystal,      drinkin' scotch and smokin' weed,

[G]                 [D]                   [C]             x &(D-[D/G]-[D]-[Dsus4]-[D]-Dsus4)&
     Daddy's wish used to be nothin'       less than my command,
%[G]             [D]                      [C]             &(D-[D/G]-[D]-[Dsus4]-[D]-Dsus4)&%
     Took to a switch to my back,          nailed me to a cross with both hands,

xEm                 [Am]         [Em]           [Am]                x
     Momma couldn't give me        the thing a young boy needs,
     Instead of momma sufferin'    she was smart enough to leave,

%[G]                & [D] &              [C]               &(D-[D/G]-[D]-[Dsus4]-[D]-Dsus4)&
     Spent my life fightin'                tryin' to stay free,
     From trials and tribulation           and the state penitantory,

[Em](oh, i know)

legend:
          x ==> pick and strum like intro
          & ==> this is just strummed while playing around with D
          % ==> strum

%[Em]        [Am]                       [Em]          [Am]
I suppose really lookin' cool,     just makin' both ends meet,
Until that day i saw you walkin',   down   Blue Angel Street,

[G]                    [D]            [C]                 &[D]&
The sweetest lies of lily white,   comin' from you lips,
You brush away       all my pain,  with a lazy finger tip!

[Em]It moves my heart just [Am]watchin',   [Em]the way you walk so [Am]smooth,
you save me from an    evil fate,  you steal 'way my   blues,

[G]           [D]              [C]           & [D] &
Lyin' here, in your arms,  I don't need no more proof,

[G]           [D]              [C]             [D] ^^^^^^^^^^(strum)
Lyin' here, safe and warm, it's just the naked truth!

[G]This man [D]loves you, [C]this man [D]loves you,
[G]        [D]          [C]        [D]          %
This man loves you, this man loves you.

Goin' down that graveyard spiral,  there was nothin' I could do,
Life treated me much harder,       ?than me'in' an   ole corkscrew?
                                      >(meeting)<
