Intro: C  G  D  Dsus4 (x2) 

C          G                 D             Dsus4 
  O lord I think I'm falling to my disbelief 

    C              G          D                Dsus4 
I'm cursing like a sailor and lying like a thief 

     C                G                D               Dsus4 
It's hard to heed the calling from the better side of me 

         C            G             D                  Dsus4 
When I'm blaming everybody else and no one's coming clean 


C        G              D                    Dsus4 
  O lord can you see my thick skin wearing thin 

        C           G             D             Dsus4 
And the demons of a lesser me are beckoning me in 

C                   G              D                    Dsus4 
Those who gathered 'round me - I'm watching them all leave 

        C         Em     D     G 
Cause I am my own ragged company 


        C              G        D                 Dsus4 
You can take a trip to china or take a boat to Spain 

       C           G                   D                  Dsus4 
Take a blue canoe around the world and never come back again 

    C               G                  D                 Dsus4 
But traveling don't change a thing, it only makes it worse 

C                   G             D                     Dsus4 
Unless the trip you take is in to change your cruel course 

       C                  G                D                   Dsus4 
'Cause every town's got a mirror and every mirror still shows me 

       C         Em     D     G 
That I am my own ragged company 

  C         Em     D     G 
I am my own ragged company

A         Asus4      
Won't you help me lord

someone cut the cord 

        G        F    D  C  G  D  Dsus4 
and I'm falling down again

C  G  D  Dsus4  (x3) 
instrumental 

C         G       D                  Dsus4 
  Oh it's lonely, lord it's mighty cold 

    C               G              D                  Dsus4 
And I don't want to live this way afraid of growing old 

     C                G                D                 Dsus4 
It's hard to heed the warning when you cannot see the crime 

    C           G              D               Dsus4 
The only way to remember is to forget in a rhyme 

        C                   G             D             Dsus4 
And I'm scared to tread the red road that leads to galilee 

        C         Em     D     G 
Cause I am my own ragged company 

  C         Em     D     G 
I am my own ragged company    (3x)
