By Alan Jackson
G G/F# Em
I tried to stay on the straight and narrow
C G D
But I've walked a crooked path
G G/F# Em
And I've felt worthy of forgiveness
A7 D
And deservin' heaven's wrath
C B
Right on the money and off by a mile
Em A
Ahead of my time and way out of style
C G
But I'm hangin' tough
C G
I ain't had enough
C G
I ain't givin' up
D G G/F# Em C D
On life or love
Well I try to stay away from the bottle
But I've reached out for the glass
I try to pull back on the throttle
But I still run out of gas
I've been an angel, but never a saint
Hung with the devil, don't nobody faint
But I'm hangin' tough, I ain't had enough
I ain't givin' up on life or love
Bridge:
C B
Yesterday's history, today is a chance
Em A
Tomorrow is a mystery, so I'm makin' plans to keep
Chorus
