INTRO: 
Am

N.C.                  Am
I'm not living like I should
I want to be a better man
A sinner's prayer upon my lips
A broken promise in my hand
                       Dm
I know that there will come a day
                          Am
A heavy price I'll have to pay
                        Dm      E
I keep pretending to be good
                          Am
But I'm not living like I should 


N.C.                  Am
I'm not living like I should
I've let the mystery slip away
The night goes by in dreamless sleep
I'm chasing foolish things all day
                      Dm
I walk this town just like a ghost
                             Am
I don't know what I miss the most
                            Dm        E
I'd believe in something if I could
                          Am
I'm not living like I should 


INSTRUMENTAL: 
Am            Dm   Am   Dm   E   Am


N.C.                      Am
When people see me on the street
They think they see an honest man
They don't know what lies beneath
But some of them would understand
                       Dm
They know the soul and what it hides
                               Am
You sometimes see it in their eyes
                     Dm                 E
A guilty man where a child once stood
                         Am
I'm not living like I should 


N.C.                  Am
I'm not living like I should
The wolves howl and the robin sings
The world keeps spinning round and round
I wait for mercy's angel wings
                    Dm
Another day another year
                             Am
Death keeps whispering in my ear
                        Dm        E
I say a prayer I knock on wood
                         Am
I'm not living like I should 


INSTRUMENTAL: 
Am            Dm   Am   Dm   E   Am


N.C.                  Am
I'm not living like I should
I used to be a better man
A sinner's prayer upon my lips
A broken promise in my hands
                         Dm
A squandered gift, a wasted day
                  Am
Time chases life away
                  Dm       E
I just wanted to be good
                          Am
But I'm not living like I should
N.C.                  Am
I'm not living like I should
I'm not living like I should
