Intro:   A

Verse 1:
  A
I don’t run from guilt you see
   C
My conscience lets me know 
           G                             D
At least a thousand times or better everyday
A
Things I’ve done mistakes I’ve made 
C
Raised feelings I’ll lay in some grave
G                            D
If ever I am finally laid to rest
            A                           C
If there is time to pray before I die I pray Dear Lord 
                      G
You know that I was a righteous man 
                      D
That somehow lost his way
A
Face me down when I shall pass
     C
Just so the world can kiss my ass
    G                           D
And hell can’t come get me from behind

Chorus:
                   A                    C
I’ve danced in the flames and I’ve been burned
                   G
I’ve walked on the harder side of life
          D
Of taking all the wrong turns
          A                 C                   G       D
I’ve been around  I’ve been down  And I’ve been wasted
             A                      C
I fight with myself     sometimes I lose 
            G                          D
I got me an angel on my shoulder but I got the devil too
      A            C                  G       D
I get down   I get around   And I get wasted 

Verse 2:
A
Twenty-seven years along
     C
I’ve tried to make them right all wrong 
    G                               D
And I’ve nearly died a few times on my way
     A
I’ve seen the face of God first hand 
     C
I’ve danced with the devil man
     G                            D
I’ve needed help grabbed for both their hands    

Chorus:
                   A                    C
I’ve danced in the flames and I’ve been burned
                   G
I’ve walked on the harder side of life
          D
Of taking all the wrong turns
          A                 C                   G        D
I’ve been around  I’ve been down  And I’ve been wasted
             A                      C
I fight with myself     sometimes I lose 
            G                          D
I got me an angel on my shoulder but I got the devil too
      A            C                  G       D
I get down   I get around   And I get wasted

  A                             C
I fight with myself sometimes I lose                                                 
            G
I got me an angel on my shoulder 
      D
But I got the devil too
      A            C                  G        D
I get down   I get around   And I get wasted 
  A
I don’t run from guilt you see
   C
My conscience lets know 
           G                              D
At least a thousand times or better every day
