Start Jamming...
[G] I've got a hammer and an awkward nail that won't go down
And I can [Em] try real hard, but still it won't go down
Tell me how [G] to do it Jesus
Tell me how to do it Jesus
Don't know how
The shadow in the corner is a stray cat that we found
I [Em] paid a thousand bucks once to keep that cat around
[G] Now it's lying on the pavement
And the kids are crying save it.
I don't know [D] how
[G] [D] Just straighten that nail with the magic tool
Did [C] you ever get tired and want to change the rules?
[G] Jesus
[D] It's amazing to me about a man like you
Is [C] that you raised a dad that had to suffer too [G] Jesus
[D] [G] Got a mountain up ahead and a few I've left behind
[Em] And I'm getting kind of scared of what I'm gonna find
Were [C] you scared to do it Jesus?
Tell me how you did it Jesus
[G] Don't know how
Said the prison is a place that my future will define
I [Em] wanna slow things down and take a little time
[C] Could you help me do it Jesus
I wanna live a little [G] Jesus
But I don't know how
[D] Just straighten that nail with the magic tool
Did [C] you ever get tired and want to [G] change the rules?
