G Bb C Twice
I?ve been [G]working like a dog with my nose to the grind
If I don?t [G]loosen up these chains I?m gonna lose my mind
Been [Bb]on the straight and [C]narrow far too [G]long
I?m [D]headin? downtown and the Devil?s taggin? ?long
Lord have [G]mercy on my soul I feel a sin comin? on [F][G]
I?m [G]helpless as a child when the neon calls my name
I?m [G]drawn to pretty ladies like a moth to a flame
That [Bb]sweet perfume makes it [C]hard to tell my right from my [G]wrong
The [D]flesh is awful weak, and the Devil?s mighty strong
Lord have [G]mercy on my soul I feel a sin comin? on
chorus
I [C]try to be good every day
But ton[G]ight I hope the Angels turn and look the other way
I [C]fight the urge, every time
But to [G]tell the truth, right now that apple?s lookin? mighty fine
[D]I can feel a fever deep down in my bones
Lord have [G]mercy on my soul I feel a sin comin on
Well I ain?t exactly good and I ain?t exactly bad
I ain?t the smartest child that my momma ever had
I never seem to leave temptation alone
The flesh is awful weak, and the Devil?s mighty strong
Lord have mercy on my soul I feel a sin comin? on
Chorus
I can feel a fever deep down in my bones
Lord have mercy on my soul I feel a sin comin on
I?ve been [G]working like a dog with my nose to the grind
If I don?t [G]loosen up these chains I?m gonna lose my mind
Been [Bb]on the straight and [C]narrow far too [G]long
I?m [D]headin? downtown and the Devil?s taggin? ?long
Lord have [G]mercy on my soul I feel a sin comin? on [F][G]
