[Verse 1]
Em G
I used to be brash, I used to be bold,
D C
lived off rhythm and road.
Em G
I burned every bridge, swindled and stole,
D C
sold all stake in my soul.
Em G
I went down to the creek, to roll away stones,
D C
the water kept beggin’ my bones.
Em G
I started to sink, to late to atone,
D C
drownin’ in the sins that I’ve sown.
[Instrumental 1]
Em G D C x2
[Verse 2]
Em G
Friends, I used to have plenty,
D C
but the devil within me convinced me to roam.
Em G
Where the hill-country ends, and skies turn empty,
D C
no God can defend me from the evil I’ve known.
Em G
I try to pretend, redemption’s in reach,
D C
I’d like to believe forgiveness suits me well.
Em G
Maybe in grave, I’ll finally find peace,
D C
an acre in Heaven or a kingdom in Hell.

[Verse 3]
Em G
I went down to the creek, where the sky turns empty,
D C
the devil convinced me I’d finally found peace.

I want to believe that redemption’s in reach.
