[Verse 1]
C F Dm F I ain't from Texas, but I made my way from Dallas Dm G C G And I know the lonesome sound is following C F Dm F I ain't a gambler, but I can recognize a hand Dm G C And when to hold when queens are staring back at me [Interlude] Am Em e|---------0-----------0--| B|---------1-----------0--| G|---------2-----------0--| x3 D|---------2-----------2--| A|--3-2-0--0-----------2--| E|--------------3-2-0--0--|

[Verse 2]
C F Dm F Once I was a carpenter, and man my hands were calloused Dm G C G I could swing a metal mallet sure and straight C F Dm F But I took to the highway, a poet young and hungry Dm G C G And I left the timbers rotting where they lay
[Chorus]
F Fm Forever I will move like the world that turns beneath me C Am G And when I lose my direction I'll look up to the sky F And when the black cloak drags upon the ground Fm C I'll be ready to surrender, and remember Am G Well we're all in this together F Fm C G C G If I live the life I'm given, I wont be scared to die
[Verse 3]
C F Dm F I don't come from Detroit, but her diesel motors pull me Dm G C G And I followed till I finally lost my way C F Dm F And now I spend my days in search of a woman we called purpose Dm G C G And if I ever pass back through her town I'll stay
[Chorus]
F Fm Forever I will move like the world that turns beneath me C Am G And when I lose my direction I'll look up to the sky F And when the black dress drags upon the ground Fm C I'll be ready to surrender, and remember Am G Well we're all in this together F Fm If I live the life I'm given, I wont be scared to die [Interlude] Am Em e|--------0-----------0--| B|--------1-----------0--| G|--------2-----------0--| x3 D|--------2-----------2--| A|-3-2-0--0-----------2--| E|-------------3-2-0--0--|

[Verse 3]
C F Dm F And my life is but a coin pulled from an empty pocket Dm G C G Dropped into a slot with dreams of sevens close behind C F Dm F Hope and fear go with it, and the moon and the sun go spinning Dm G C Like the numbers and the fruits before our eyes C F G C Sometimes I hit, sometimes it robs me blind C F G C Sometimes I hit, sometimes it robs me blind
[Chorus]
F Fm Forever I will move like the world that turns beneath me C Am G And when I lose my direction I'll look up to the sky F And when the black cloak drags upon the ground Fm C I'll be ready to surrender, and remember Am G Well we're all in this together F Fm C If I live the life I'm given, I wont be scared to die [Outro] C e|----------------------------------------------------| B|-1-3-1-0-1-0---0---------------------------------1--| G|-------------2---2-0-2-0---0-----------0---------0--| D|-------------------------2---2-0---0-2---2---0---2--| A|---------------------------------3---------3---2-3--| E|----------------------------------------------------|
