[G]Maria please don't leave me now, I [Am]need ya
I'ma [D]wanted, there's [C]nowhere I can [G]go
My up's turned down, my luck's spun round and [Am]left me
no I [D]didn't see it comin, but [C]oh I'ma watchin it [G]go
so I chose the company of those who don't need pro[Am]tection
[D]took a new name, [C]mostly to fool my [G]friends
swore off the days when I had to count on [Am]others
cause [D]courtin the knife means [C]countin your days to the [G]end
I made enemies of those Who might de[Am]fend me
[D]Partnered with men [C]liable to do me [G]in
snake'n my way past deals will make you [Am]wonder
[D]what kind of heaven are the[C]se killers dying to [G]win?
did I [D]lose my way? or did [G]I just play
c
the cards the way the dealer gave em to me?
I [D]try not to regret the [Em]things that I've done, yet
I [D]know no [Am]pardon [Bm]pity [C]for the [D]guilty[Am][Bm][Am]
some games you play win, well you lose
sometimes you're dealt but you don't get to choose
some guns get drawn but you don't need to use them
some tried that before their troubles began
oh but I, oh but I, I seemed to have it all
I had the women and the Lord by my side
I climbed so high the sky dropped down to teach me
how to lay low and keep my ear to the ground
I'll get caught one day, least that's what they say
red hands are but a killers way of trying
dont' ask me to confess, my peace will come unless
confessin's just an honest way of lying
my nerves are tangled and are cursed with the fear of knowing
no allibis or ties left to keep me goin'
