5th traste

[Verse 1]

Am C

You can turn your back to the coldest wind

Am C

You can play the same when you know you’ve sinned

Am C

You can hang on tight when the rope grows thin

G Am

But you can’t hide the tracks of where you’ve been

[Verse 2]

Am C

You can ride the wave in a broke down boat

Am C

You can hold on tight and hope you float

Am C

You can fight the cold without a coat

Am C

But you can’t get back the soul you sold

[Chorus]

F Am

I’m no hero, no I ain’t

G Am

Here I go again standing in the rain

F Am

I’m no hero, not today

C Am

I’m my own ball and chain

C Am

I’m my own ball and chain

[Verse 3]

Am C

You can wait a turn and stand in line

Am C

You can take what’s yours and what’s mine

Am C

You can change your mind upon a dime

Am C

But you can’t return your borrowed time.

[Verse 4]

Am C

You can fight your demons tooth and nail

Am C

You can wait on court to set your bail

Am C

You can try again on those your fail

Am C

But you can’t change the writings of your tail

[Chorus]

F Am

I’m no hero, no I ain’t

G Am

Here I go again standing in the rain

F Am

I’m no hero, not today

C Am

I’m my own ball and chain

C Am

I’m my own ball and chain

C Am

I’m my own ball and chain

C Am

I’m my own ball and chain
