Chords

[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 in sinkin' 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 in sinkin' 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 in sinkin' sand

          F
Lord, I'm trying like the devil
