x EmAmEmAm Used to be younger, out on the hard streets, Gettin' high on crystal, drinkin' scotch and smokin' weed,
GDC x &(D-D/G-D-Dsus4-D-Dsus4)& Daddy's wish used to be nothin' less than my command, %GDC &(D-D/G-D-Dsus4-D-Dsus4)&% Took to a switch to my back, nailed me to a cross with both hands,
xEm AmEmAm 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
*note: after this, it's just a very simple rhythm, if you know the tune *
%EmAmEmAm I suppose really lookin' cool, just makin' both ends meet, Until that day i saw you walkin', down Blue Angel Street,
GDC &D& The sweetest lies of lily white, comin' from you lips, You brush away all my pain, with a lazy finger tip!
EmAmEmAm It moves my heart just watchin', the way you walk so smooth, you save me from an evil fate, you steal 'way my blues,
GDC & D & Lyin' here, in your arms, I don't need no more proof,
GDCD ^^^^^^^^^^(strum) Lyin' here, safe and warm, it's just the naked truth!
GDCD This man loves you, this man loves you, GDCD % This man loves you, this man loves you.
x EmAmEmAm That's the naked truth. It's the naked truth.........
EmAm EmAmEmAm x Goin' down that graveyard spiral, there was nothin' I could do, Life treated me much harder, ?than me'in' an ole corkscrew? >(meeting)< %GDCD Lyin' here, in your arms, I don't need no more proof, GDCD^^^^^^^(strum) Lyin' here, safe and warm, it's just the naked truth!
