G5                   
I was feelin' important, feelin' in control
C5              C5            G5                     D5
Felt like everywhere I went, folks said, "There he goes"
      G5                                              C5      C5
I was beaming like a noon-day sun, my ducks all in a row
     G5
When all a sudden in a flash, I saw it was not so

            G5
Ain't goin' my way
            E5
Ain't goin' my way
        C5          D5                    G5
There's no denyin' thing's ain't flyin' my way
            G5
Ain?t goin' my way
            E5
Ain?t goin' my way
        C5          D5                    G5
There's no denyin' thing's ain't flyin' my way

  G5                
I used to walk around a lot feelin' pretty small
C5                    C5          G5             D5
People said, "You're not so bad" so I stood up tall
G5                                               C5        C5
Then my inner Napoleon said, "You could have it all!"
  G5
I hit a curb and strained a nerve and headed for a fall

Chorus

G5
Now I am a lonely mole back in the underground
        C5                C5                 G5              D5
Diggin' bigger hills and little hills cause I'm so tightly wound
G5                                               C5         C5
Really am I all that bad takin' pennies for the pound
G5
Cause even from the margins, lord, there comes a holy sound

Chorus
