Gm                   Gm/F    Eb                  Eb/D
Some days I think           it's all a dream
 
Cm                   F                      D/F#
The things I've done, the places that I've been
 
Gm                 Gm/F  Eb
This life of mine       seems surreal at times
 
   Cm                     D/F#                Gm
Wasted days and nights in someone else's mind
 
Gm Cm Cm7/Bb
 
Could it be I'm not for real
I slap my face to check out how I feel
It's hostages to prove it's true
Who lives behind a mask was never proved.
 
F               Bb         F                Bb          
Come on Robert Johnson, though we're worlds apart
 
Eb              Gm                      A             D
You and I know what it's like with the devil in our heart
 
    Cm                         Gm
You sold your soul at the crossroads
 
      Cm                   Gm
Kept a little of mine on hand
 
  Eb       G7 5th/E   Dm/F   F#m 5th
I'm wadin' out this            muddy water
 
     Gm      Dm/A  Gm/Bb Gm/A Gm
 
Rattlin' chains all around my bed
Ghosts can laugh but they're already dead
I'm not dyin' and I'm far from gone
The bluesman spent his candle, but his pain lives on
 
 
Outro: A lib Gm
