F      C             Eb          Bb
Today I was gonna conquer the world
Eb          Bb          Eb    F
Go on ahead and make a stand
      C              Eb      Bb
Today I saw an old friend a dyin'
        Eb          Bb      Eb         F
And as he lay there no one lent a hand

           Am
I'm gonna call you up
Dm7                        F
You'll forsake the one you love
Dm7                     Am        C7sus4
Though I've left you many times before 
                 F
You are just a sinner

Csus4                   C
I was the one who understands
F7sus4                 F
You were my one and only man
Am     C         Dm       Bb
I was lost, now I'm the winner
                                 C
You stand there waitin' by the shore
Fsus4          F 
But I don't come that way no more
Am        C         Am     Bb
Because you are just a sinner


F      C             Eb          Bb
Today I was gonna hold out my hand
Eb          Bb          Eb    F
Reach up for that light and let it shine
      C              Eb      Bb
Today I have no light to guide me
        Eb          Bb      Eb         F
Feelin' like the one they left behind

        Am
So I called you up
Dm7                        F
You left your love and took me away
Dm7                     Am        C7sus4
Though I've left you many times before
                 F
You are just a sinner.


Csus4                   C
I am the only one, you see
F7sus4                 F
You were the only one for me
Am     C         Dm       Bb
I was lost, now I'm the winner
                                 C
You'll keep the candle burning bright
Fsus4          F 
But I won't be home tonight
Am        C         Am     Bb
Because you are just a sinner


F      C             Eb          Bb
Today I was gonna conquer the world
Eb          Bb          Eb    F
Go on ahead and make a stand
      C              Eb      Bb
Today I saw an old friend a dyin'
        Eb          Bb      Eb         F
And as he lay there no one lent a hand
