[Em] From [G] the day I was born there was [C] a light that called my name [D] buried deep somewhere
[Em] in my soul.
And [C] I thought it disappeared [G] through my darling's cold tears.
I knew [D] I'd follow her I would lose [Em] control.
[C] So I [D] followed her I would lose [Em] control.
[G] Locking out a law running from [C] a [G] hangman's door.
I was a man of no use [D] I watered in the dark between [Em] hills.
I [C] was hiding from the sun [G] in the shadows I didn't run.
[D] I was neglecting what my soul [Em] would reveal.
[C] [D] I was neglecting what my soul [Em] would reveal.
[G] Hungry as a [C] hound drunk [G] as a skunk [D] I dragged my [Em] way home.
[C] And I thought it didn't show [G] but a mother always [D] knows all the scars you left a fester
[Em] on your soul.
[D] All the scars you left a fester [Em] on your soul.

[G] Well the sky had been crying [C] for three damn [D] weeks.
Day they let me out of that dirty [Em] Texas jail.
I [C] was walking at thirty [G] five trying to pull a ride [D] wishing God would let me out [Em] of my cell.
[D] Wishing God would let me out [Em] of my cell.
[G] Well I stared up at the sky [C] I said oh [G] why oh why [D] Lord you left me all broken [Em] in the cold.
[C] Then I swallowed my pride [G] enough to ask you for a sign [D] Lord let me know I'm [Em] not alone.
[D] Lord let me know I'm [Em] not alone.
[C] Then I saw break lights [G] and with tears in my eyes [D] I walked to the passenger [G] side door.
He said [C] boy I know what [Em] you've been praying for.

[G] From the day you were born [C] there was a light that called your [D] name buried deep somewhere
[Em] in your soul.
[C] And it brought you to truth [G] and it made you confused.
[D] If you don't follow then you will [Em] lose control.
[C] No if [D] you don't follow then you will [Em] lose control.
