[Intro] C G D Em C G D Dsus [Verse 1]
C          G                 D           Em7
  O lord I think I'm falling to my disbelief

    C              G          D                Dsus4
I'm cursing like a sailor and lying like a thief

     C                G                D              Em7
It's hard to heed the calling from the better side of me

         C            G             D                  Dsus4
When I'm blaming everybody else and no one's coming clean
[Verse 2]
C        G              D                    Em7
  O lord can you see my thick skin wearing thin

        C           G             D             Dsus4
And the demons of a lesser me are beckoning me in

C                   G              D                 Em7
Those who gathered 'round me - I'm watching them all leave

        C         Em           G
Cause I am my own ragged company
[Verse 3]
        C              G        D              Em7
You can take a trip to china or take a boat to Spain

       C           G                   D                  Dsus4
Take a blue canoe around the world and never come back again

    C               G                  D             Em7
But traveling don't change a thing, it only makes it worse

C                   G             D                     Dsus4
Unless the trip you take is in to change your cruel course
[Chorus]
       C                  G                D                 Em7
'Cause every town's got a mirror and every mirror still shows me

       C         Em          G
That I am my own ragged company

  C         Em          G
I am my own ragged company

Won't you help me lord

A         Asus4
Won't you help me lord

A       Asus4
someone cut the cord

        G        F    D
and I'm falling down again 
[Instrumental] C G D Em C G D Dsus C G D Em C G D Dsus [Verse 4]
C         G       D                Em7
  Oh it's lonely, lord it's mighty cold

    C               G              D                  Dsus4
And I don't want to live this way afraid of growing old

     C                G                D              Em7
It's hard to heed the warning when you cannot see the crime

    C           G              D               Dsus4
The only way to remember is to forget in a rhyme

        C                   G             D            Em7
And I'm scared to tread the red road that leads to galilee
[Chorus]
        C         Em          G
Cause I am my own ragged company

  C         Em          G
I am my own ragged company   

  C         Em          G
I am my own ragged company 

  C         Em          G
I am my own ragged company
