I'm Good Now

Written by Bob Schneider

	  		 
 
Verse 1: 
 
Em(lick above) 
There was a time in West Virginia 
 
When the cops showed up when the shop blowed up 
 
Man we didn't know what was gonna happen. 
Em(same lick) 
Messed the whole place up and tried to kill my dad 
 
Took all the money I had and what was really bad 
 
Was I couldn't do nothing to stop 'em.   
 
 
Bridges: 
 
C                             D 
Had to move to Mexico to get away 
 	  	  	  	  	 Em 
You reap the seeds you sew, or  so they say, 
  	  	  	  	  	  	    C 
I spent most of my nights at a place called the Rainbow Bar. 
 
 
 	     G 	  	     D            C 	       G 
Drinking cervezas all night long singing Mexican love songs, 
C 	  	  	     G               D 
Getting all the words all wrong not givin a damn. 
       G                   D              C                G 
Hoping that my luck might change, feeling crazy and acting strange, 
      C                G            D 
Never worried bout the danger I was in. 
 
 
  	  	  Em         C                 G             D 
Cause I've had a mighty bad run of luck since you left this town, 
     Em               C              G          D 
Sometimes you hit the brakes but you cant slow down, 
              Em              C                   G             D 
I know what I want on my damn tombstone when they put me in the ground, 
 
Em(let ring) 
Tell 'em to write it big and tall or not at all. 
 
Chorus: 
         G   D       Em      C 
Just put I'm good now' 
G    D   Em     C 
I'm good now'. 
G    D   Em      C 
I'm good now' 
G    D   Em       C 
I'm good now. 
 
(Everything is the same as previous verse, bridges and chorus, except  
the lick is different, so I just bass strum that E minor and it sounds good) 
 
Well as the story goes, things only got worse, I fell in love with a nurse, 
She smuggled drugs in her purse, she worked for Doctor Gonzales. 
It turns out the doc was a mighty mean man, he couldn't understand, 
That things can get out of hand, I guess hes gonna find out though. 
 
He tried to stop her one night, she pulled out a knife,  
There was a struggle and there at the end he fell,  
As she ran home, he was on the floor dying. 
 
Wondering bout the things he'd done, wondering bout his life and fun he'd had, 
Choices that he made and roads he'd taken,  
And he thought about his kids, and all the crazy things he did,  
Wondered if anything at all really matters, 
 
Cause when your life is almost over and there's no hope to be found, 
And you're dying and your blood is spilling out over the ground. 
And the last words that he said though he could hardly make a sound, 
And he spoke each word in Spanish, cause he couldn't speak no English, 
 
He said I'm good now'
