G           D/F#        Em
I tried to stay on the straight and narrow

 C                  G         D
But I've walked a crooked path

 G             D/F#  Em
And I've felt worthy of forgiveness

 A                      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     C            G
But I'm hangin' tough, I ain't had enough

   C           G      D       G    D/F# Em C D
I ain't givin' up on life or love




 G            D/F#   Em
Well I try to stay away from the bottle

 C                            G    D
But I've reached out for the glass

G         D/F#     Em
I try to pull back on the throttle

 A                      D
But I still run out of gas

 C                       B
I've been an angel, but never a saint

 Em                         A
Hung with the devil, don't nobody faint

         C       G     C            G
But I'm hangin' tough, I ain't had enough

   C           G      D       G
I ain't givin' up on life or love



|D/F# |Em |Em |C |A |D |D |D |D |



 C                    B
Yesterday's history, today is a chance

  Em                       A
Tomorrow is a mystery, so I'm makin' plans

         C       G     C            G
But I'm hangin' tough, I ain't had enough

   C           G      D       G
I ain't givin' up on life or love

 C              G     C            G
I keep hangin' tough, I ain't had enough

   C           G      D       G    D/F# Em
I ain't givin' up on life or love

C    D   G  D/F# Em C D G
Life or love
