[Verse 1]
A
I was gonna be the one you'd see
D
That'd show you the way
A
But somehow from there to here
E
I fell stray
A
I was gonna be the one to beat
D
I'd be off the chart
A
Along the the journey to that place
E
It all fell apart
[Chorus]
A
I had it all planned
A
I knew right how it would go
A
I'd be the man
E
Yeah the one you'd wanna know
D
I'd pay my dues and play by the rules
A
I really felt like I couldn't lose
E A
But the Devil had other plans
[Verse 2]
A
I was gonna be there early
D
I'd be the first one there
A
Ready and waiting
E
All prepared
A
I was gonna be the first in line
D
I'd be ahead of the game
A
But then the whole thing
E
Went up in flames
[Chorus]
A
I had it all planned
A
I knew right how it would go
A
I'd be the man
E
Yeah the one you'd wanna know
D
I'd pay my dues and play by the rules
A
I really felt like I couldn't lose
E A
But the Devil had other plans
[Verse 3]
A
I was gonna be on my best behavior
D
Mind my P's and Q's
A
When it came to Good and Evil
E
I knew which to choose
A
I swear I was gonna stay sober
D
And keep myself clean
A
I wasn't gonna have one single beer
E
But then I had 15
[Chorus]
A
I had it all planned
A
I knew right how it would go
A
I'd be the man
E
Yeah the one you'd wanna know
D
I'd pay my dues and play by the rules
A
I really felt like I couldn't lose
E A
But the Devil had other plans
[Solo]
A D A E
A D A E
[Chorus]
A
I had it all planned
A
I knew right how it would go
A
I'd be the man
E
Yeah the one you'd wanna know
D
I'd pay my dues and play by the rules
A
I really felt like I couldn't lose
E A
But the Devil had other plans
