G          G/F#        Em 
I tried to stay on the straight and narrow 
C                         G         D 
But I've walked a crooked path 
G             G/F#   Em 
And I've felt worthy of forgiveness 
A7                     D 
And deservin' heaven's wrath 
C                      B 
Right on the money and off by a mile 
Em                   A 
Ahead of my time and way out of style 
 
 
        C       G 
But I'm hangin' tough 
C             G  
I ain't had enough 
  C            G 
I ain't givin' up 
   D       G     G/F#  Em  C  D 
On life or love 
 
Well I try to stay away from the bottle 
But I've reached out for the glass 
I try to pull back on the throttle 
But I still run out of gas 
I've been an angel, but never a saint 
Hung with the devil, don't nobody faint 
But I'm hangin' tough, I ain't had enough 
I ain't givin' up on life or love 
 
 
Bridge: 
C                      B 
Yesterday's history, today is a chance 
Em                        A 
Tomorrow is a mystery, so I'm makin' plans to keep 
 
Chorus
