Roger Alan Wade - 3rd Chance Blues
G (intro)
G
I had to give what I's good at, and get on to other things
C G
I had to give what I's good at, and get back down to good things
D C G
I quit that s**t before it killed me, but not before it made me not wanna bend guitar strings
G
Well I came in from the darkness with a feelin' that I felt since I was born
C G
Yeah I came in from the darkness with a feelin' that I felt since the day I's born
D C G
I had lost it along the way, but today I wear it the way it was made to be worn
G
There's a look in my father's eyes when he looks at me I never seen before
C G
There's a look in my children's eyes when they look at me I ain't never seen before
D C G
Makes me glad I made it back and makes me know I'll never go that way no more
G
But the time I wasted haunts me, I fight those dragons every night
C G
Hey the time I wasted haunts me, I fistfight the devil every night
D C G
I ain't no smarter or no better than I ever was, I'm just tryin' to do what's right
G
Ah this simple life it suits me, my dreams are wild my mind is strong and clear
C G
Hey this simple life it suits, my dreams are wild my mind is strong and clear
D C G
Truth is I just got sick of dyin', ain't no tellin' what kind of s**t you're gonna hear
G
Now I'm back in love with music, I'm back in love with life
C G
Yeah I'm back in love with music, and I'm back in love with life
D C G
Second chances are a blessin' lord, but them 3rd ones they'll cut you like an ex-wife, woo!
