CAPO I 
 
 
INTRO:  D5  G5  D5  G5 
 
D5                     A5            D5                            A5 
I'm not the kind that gets around, just another face in this little town 
   G5                                  A5 
An everyday man trying to live life right 
D5                       A5           D5                   A5 
You wouldn't know it to look at me, I live in silent misery 
G5                   A5 
Or I lead a double life 
G5                             A5             D5 
I've battled with the bottle all alone for years 
G5                               A5 
I've lied a thousand lies, and cried a million tears 
 
CHORUS 1: 
G5                               A5              D5 
I'm too tired to fight it, and too ashamed to pray 
   A5                                     D5 
I know the Lord must be bored with the promises I've made 
      G5                               D5 
So I sit here with my secret thinking no one else can see 
              G5                    A5         D5 
And I'll just keep it between the devil and me 
 
Monday morning here I am hiding bottles in a garbage can 

I take out the trash and pray no one sees 

I keep my family in the dark 'cause Lord knows it'd break their hearts 

To see the rock be so weak 

I've had a good old Baptist raising, so I've got no good excuse 

I wish that I was stronger but here's the honest truth 
 
CHORUS 1 
 
BRIDGE: 
     G5                      A5                D5 
I'm hoping for a miracle, I know that I can change 
G5                        A5 
No I'm not givin' up, I know there'll come a day, when 
 
 
CHORUS 2: 
 
I'm not too tired to fight it, or too ashamed to pray 
And I know the Lord won't be bored with the promises I've made 
I won't live here with my secret where no one else can see 
No I won't keep it between the devil and me 
No I won't keep it between the devil and me
