You know that bad luck will eat you up

When I was a boy I said to myself
D G F#m
That I’d never lean on anyone else

And my mother took me by the hands and then
D G A
Oh, oh how I prayed
D G F#m A
That the good Lord would come and take me away
D G A
From this mess of a life that I’m in
D G A
And I fell to my knees oh and I cried

In this wreck of a life that I’m in

D G A
Oh and it feels like I’m writing a book and I can’t get inspired

Sometimes
