G
I was feelin' important, feelin' in control
C Cm G D
Felt like everywhere I went, folks said, "There he goes"
G C Cm
I was beaming like a noon-day sun, my ducks all in a row
G
When all a sudden in a flash, I saw it was not so
G
Ain't goin' my way
Em
Ain't goin' my way
C D G
There's no denyin' thing's ain't flyin' my way
G
Ain’t goin' my way
Em
Ain’t goin' my way
C D G
There's no denyin' thing's ain't flyin' my way
G
I used to walk around a lot feelin' pretty small
C Cm G D
People said, "You're not so bad" so I stood up tall
G C Cm
Then my inner Napoleon said, "You could have it all!"
G
I hit a curb and strained a nerve and headed for a fall
Chorus
G
Now I am a lonely mole back in the underground
C Cm G D
Diggin' bigger hills and little hills cause I'm so tightly wound
G C Cm
Really am I all that bad takin' pennies for the pound
G
Cause even from the margins, lord, there comes a holy sound
Chorus
