[Verse 1]
[Am]The [D]trou[Am]ble[D][Am][D][G][D][G]
with [D]the straight and the [Em]nar row
Is it's [Bm]so thin,
I [Am]keep sliding off to [Em]the side[Am]
And the [C]devil [D]makes good [C]use
of these [D]hands of [G]mine[C][G]
[D]And if

[Verse 2]
[G]Jesus is the [D]straight
path that [Em]saves
Then I'm [Bm]condemned to [Am]live

[C]I'll dwell and [D]I'll count my [G]years[C][G][D]

[Verse 3]
[Am]You know that I got a little
[D]something I should [Bm]say

way back [Bm]home from [E]here[Am]

[Verse 4]
And I don't fall off the [D]wagon you know

this [G]time[C][D]

of these [D]hands of [G]mine[C][G][D]

[Verse 6]
[Am]You know that I got a little probl[D]em or two
[Am]I guess that I keep on takin[D]g a fe[Bm]w
[Am]I've been told it's not the best[D] thing that I can do,[Bm]
right [E]now[Am]

[Verse 7]
And I don't go [D]looking
for my sins you know
[Am]They come out waiting

[Am]Don't hold your breath because I'm
[D]coming up slow this [G]time[C][D]
