Aaron Watson - Trying Like The Devil Chords

[Intro]
D

[Verse 1]
              D
Well, that golden halo doesn't go so well
                             Bm
With my red bandana and blue jeans
G
God knows when I'm good, I'm good
                                     D
And when I'm good it's seldom, so it seems
             D
So they say fools play with fire
                              Bm
I'm trying my best to not get burned
        G
While I soak myself in gasoline
                                    D
One would think by now I might have learned

But I've never learned

[Chorus]
        G
No, I'm not the man they think I am
   Bm                            D
It weighs heavy on my heart and mind
A/C#   G                            Bm
 As I stumble every step along the way
                               D
Like a wino who can't walk the line
A/C#        Bm
 It's like tightrope walking on a windy day
        G                                D
There's heaven in her eyes and hell to pay
A/C#      Bm
 And I'm solid as a rock in sinkin' sand
G                                     D
Trying like the devil to be a good man

[Verse 2]
     D
So beware of broken glass
                                       Bm
Should you stare into the window of my soul
             G
And judge me not, I'll only bare it all
                              D
So you know that you are not alone

You're not alone

[Chorus]
A/C#      G
 No, I'm not the man they think I am
   Bm                            D
It weighs heavy on my heart and mind
A/C#   G                            Bm
 As I stumble every step along the way
                               D
Like a wino who can't walk the line
A/C#        Bm
 Well I'm tightrope walking on a windy day
        G                                D
There's heaven in her eyes and hell to pay
A/C#      Bm
 And I'm solid as a rock in sinkin' sand
G                                     D
Trying like the devil to be a good man

[Bridge]
A/C#   Bm
Oh my God
            G                     D
Feed me the crumbs that fall upon your floor
A/C#      Bm                       G
As those saints walk through your pearly gates
              D                             F#m   A
Lord, let the sinner crawl through your backdoor
        Bm        G    D
Whoa-oh-oh  oh-oh-oh  oh
A/C#    Bm        G    D
 Oh-oh-oh  oh-oh-oh  oh

[Chorus]
A/C#      G
 No, I'm not the man they think I am
   Bm                            D
It weighs heavy on my heart and mind
A/C#   G                            Bm
 As I stumble every step along the way
                               D
Like a wino who can't walk the line
A/C#             Bm
 Well, I'm like tightrope walking on a windy day
        G                                D
There's heaven in her eyes and hell to pay
A/C#   Bm
 I'm solid as a rock and sink in sand
G                                      D
Trying like the devil to be a good man
A/C#  Bm
 I'm solid as a rock in sinkin' sand
          G
Lord, I'm trying like the devil
