Intro: C  G  D  Dsus4 (x2)

C          G                 D             Dsus4
  O lord I think I'm falling to my disbelief

    C              G          D                Dsus4
I'm cursing like a sailor and lying like a thief

     C                G                D               Dsus4
It's hard to heed the calling from the better side of me

         C            G             D                  Dsus4
When I'm blaming everybody else and no one's coming clean


C        G              D                    Dsus4
  O lord can you see my thick skin wearing thin

        C           G             D             Dsus4
And the demons of a lesser me are beckoning me in

C                   G              D                    Dsus4
Those who gathered 'round me - I'm watching them all leave

        C         Em     D     G
Cause I am my own ragged company


        C              G        D                 Dsus4
You can take a trip to china or take a boat to Spain

       C           G                   D                  Dsus4
Take a blue canoe around the world and never come back again

    C               G                  D                 Dsus4
But traveling don't change a thing, it only makes it worse

C                   G             D                     Dsus4
Unless the trip you take is in to change your cruel course

       C                  G                D                   Dsus4
'Cause every town's got a mirror and every mirror still shows me

       C         Em     D     G
That I am my own ragged company

  C         Em     D     G
I am my own ragged company

someone cut the cord

        G        F    D  C  G  D  Dsus4

instrumental

C         G       D                  Dsus4
  Oh it's lonely, lord it's mighty cold

    C               G              D                  Dsus4
And I don't want to live this way afraid of growing old

     C                G                D                 Dsus4
It's hard to heed the warning when you cannot see the crime

    C           G              D               Dsus4
The only way to remember is to forget in a rhyme

        C                   G             D             Dsus4
And I'm scared to tread the red road that leads to galilee

        C         Em     D     G
Cause I am my own ragged company

  C         Em     D     G
