Gm
I was out here playin' devilish games

   Gm
So it's only right I ended up set up in flames

Eb
I'm a grown man so I'll never complain

    Cm
I'm addicted to pain and bein' left in the rain

  Gm
I just sit and think about what I never became

  Gm
I pray everyday that I'm ready to change

     Eb
They say once it's bad that it's never the same

It's like my car broke down on memory lane

I can't wait 'til I face all the critics

That ain't never had to face the decisions that I had

                                            Cm
To know if they had made the same ones shut the fuck up, You don't get paid to hate for a livin'

Gm
It's so easy to point your finger and judge

    Gm
Hop in the pig pen and get to swingin' the mud

Everything that we was, everything we've become

      Cm
Every war that we won, everything that I've done (ha)

    Gm
Ha, Lord can you hear my prayer

Gm
It's somethin' 'bout the city I can feel I swear

Eb
I'm on my way God 'cause you're really there

        Cm
Alabama to Mississippi, now I'm almost there

Cm
Before I felt your presence I was almost scared

Gm
A trade with the Devil I was almost shared

    Eb
Now I'm headed to the delta where no one cares

          Cm
Where our souls are buried and loneliness is shared
[Chorus]

In the darkness where the heartless and demons scream

Been tryin' to come clean, but it ain't what it seems

[Verse]
Gm
Heard a rumor they was comin' for me

      Gm
Saw a glimpse into the future I was smilin' countin' blood money

Eb
Walkin' down the dark alley street lights flickerin'

Cm
Everything around me seemed so different

Gm                           Gm
Figurin' I must be lost, bad feelin' in my gut I gotta dust it off

        Eb
I got a chip on my shoulder better brush it off

       Cm
I keep reachin' for the gun havin' crazy thoughts

I heard a mother cryin' tears fallen from her old eyes

Gm                                            Eb
Pedal drops as a rose dies, see it clear with closed eyes

                             Cm
Gunshot then the crow flies, night fall and the smoke rise

         Gm
Couldn't see the beauty inside all of the darkness

Gm
Vengeance and love I get confused with being heartless

Eb
Heartless cross me out for a couple dollars

Cm
Runnin' with the Devil and wonder what trouble follows

Cm                                       Gm
Standin' in the street, surrounded by my past

                                                      Eb
Every sin I ever committed, is takin' me at last, Saw karma's face in a black hoodie

          Cm
With some gold teeth, and heard the police

      Cm
Heard a loud scream
N.C. Seen the barrel flash
               Gm
Felt the sharp pain and now I can't breath

     Eb
Woke up from a dream in New Orleans

       Cm
Put my hands up as the choir sings
