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
