Trying Like The Devil Chords by Aaron Watson
Capo 2
[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
C
Well, that golden halo doesn't go so well
Am
With my red bandana and blue jeans
F
God knows when I'm good, I'm good
C
And when I'm good it's seldom, so it seems
So they say fools play with fire
Am
I'm trying my best to not get burned
F
While I soak myself in gasoline
C
One would think by now I might have learned
But I've never learned
[Chorus]
F
No, I'm not the man they think I am
Am C
It weighs heavy on my heart and mind
G/B F Am
As I stumble every step along the way
C
Like a wino who can't walk the line
G/B Am
It's like tightrope walking on a windy day
F C
There's heaven in her eyes and hell to pay
G/B Am
And I'm solid as a rock and sink in sand
F C
Trying like the devil to be a good man
[Verse 2]
C
So beware of broken glass
Am
Should you stare into the window of my soul
F
And judge me not, I'll only bare it all
C
So you know that you are not alone
You're not alone
[Chorus]
G/B F
No, I'm not the man they think I am
Am C
It weighs heavy on my heart and mind
G/B F Am
As I stumble every step along the way
C
Like a wino who can't walk the line
G/B Am
It's like tightrope walking on a windy day
F C
There's heaven in her eyes and hell to pay
G/B Am
And I'm solid as a rock and sink in sand
F C
Trying like the devil to be a good man
[Bridge]
G/B Am
Oh my God
F C
Feed me the crumbs that fall upon your floor
G/B Am F
As those saints walk through your pearly gates
C Em G
Lord, let the sinner crawl through your backdoor
Am F C
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh
G/B Am F C
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh
[Chorus]
G/B F
No, I'm not the man they think I am
Am C
It weighs heavy on my heart and mind
G/B F Am
As I stumble every step along the way
C
Like a wino who can't walk the line
G/B Am
Well, I'm like tightrope walking on a windy day
F C
There's heaven in her eyes and hell to pay
G/B Am
I'm solid as a rock and sink in sand
F C
Trying like the devil to be a good man
G/B Am
I'm solid as a rock and sink in sand
F
Lord, I'm trying like the devil
