[Verse 1]

D
There's a world on fire

Feels like a bad dream

         G
Did the hammer come down?

Feels like a kick in the teeth

          A
All this down on my luck

                     G
Has been gettin' me down on my knees

                 D
Might have been something I need

[Chorus]

               G
'Cause I been chasin, rat racin'

Doin' anything to win

    D
Now my grass looks like Augusta

I got around to paintin' that fence

       G
I been callin' up my mama, doin' some old friend checkin' in

   D
It seems like where I'm going might be better than where I been

    Bm                      A
'Cause with all this goin' on

         G                 D/F#               Em        G
Findin' right in all this wrong and I finally see

                    D
The good Lord knows better than me

[Verse 2]

 D
I got a little less in the bank

I get a little more sleep

          G
I get a little more use out of that old porch swing

           A                          G
I got a little more her holdin' on to little more me

        D
Feel a little more free

[Chorus]

 G
'Cause I been chasin, rat racin'

Doin' anything to win

       D
Now my grass looks like Augusta

And I got around to paintin' that fence

       G
I been callin' up my mama, doin' some old friend checkin' in

       D
And it seems like where I'm going might be better than where I been

            Bm             A
'Cause with all this goin' on

         G                 D/F#               Em        G
Findin' right in all this wrong and I finally see

                    D
The good Lord knows better than me

       D
Knows better than me

[Verse 3]

       D
If the world does end

I'll take the last day slow

      G
If He does come back

I know where I'll go

           A
But if He takes His time

          G
Well I've learned one thing

                    D
The good Lord knows better than me

[Chorus]

  G
'Cause I been chasin, rat racin'

Doin' anything to win

     D
I've made more time for fishin'

And got my old truck runnin' again

       G
I went home to see my mama, been good hearing from old friends

    D
It seems like where I'm going might be better than where I been

     Bm             A
With all this goin' on

            G              D/F#               Em     G
I found the writin' on the wall and I finally see

                    D                   G
The good Lord knows better than me

[Post-Chorus]

                D
Good Lord knows better than me
