D                   A                       D 
There are treasures in this world a man can chase 
Em                                 D 
That may cost him a heart he can't replace 
G                             D                 Bm 
There's a 100 ways to go, but 99 will leave you broke 
A                        G            D 
It's so hard to walk the straight and narrow road

Just like you I'm scared I'll never have enough 
               G                      D 
But people are people; they'll always be 
              A                               D 
But if God is God, what ain't that enough for me?

I'm down right evil, but deeper down I'm good

There are things I've done I swore I never would
