[Intro]
G G
[Verse]
G C G
When I was a boy, I dreamed of being a better man
D
G C
I'd be flying high, just fine as wine, but then that wine turned into whiskey
G D G
And now the outlaw in the mirror looks just like me
[Chorus]
C
And I don't know who's been looking over my hide
G
But they've done a great job of keeping me alive
D G
Lord only knows how hard a job that is
C
But there's something about the nighttime life
G
I just can't get enough, and I can't get it right
D G G
But I'll be a better man someday
[Verse]
G C G
Well, I tried to a pick fruit from a forbidden tree
D
But I ashed my cigarette into a can of gasoline
G C G
And as I watched it burn, I had an epiphany
D
Within the flames, why would I change
G A G
I guess I'll just be me
[Chorus]
C
And I don't know who's been looking over my hide
G
But they've done a great job of keeping me alive
D G
Lord only knows how hard a job that is
C
But there's something about the nighttime life
G
I just can't get enough, and I can't get it right
D G
But I'll be a better man someday
[Instrumental]
G G C G G G D G C G G D G
[Verse]
G C G
If I could send me a letter back in time
D
I'd address it to a 8-year-old boy who looked up to the stars at night
G C G
Well, I'd say chase that dream and follow that long white line
D G
You were born to run, it's in your blood, I think that you'll be fine
[Chorus]
C
Oh and I don't know who's been looking over my hide
G
But they've done a great job of keeping me alive
D G
Lord only knows how hard a job that is
C
But there's something about the nighttime life
G
I just can't get enough, and hell I'll never get it right
D G
But I'll be a better man someday
[Outro]
D G
Hope I can be a better man someday
D G
Hope I'll be a better man someday
