I ain't from Texas, but I made my way from Dallas
Dm Dm G G C C G G
And I know the lonesome sound is following
C C F F Dm Dm F F
I ain't a gambler, but I can recognize a hand
Dm Dm G G C C G G
And when to hold when the queens are staring back at me

Chorus

F F Fm Fm
Forever I will move like the world that turns beneath me
C C Am Am G G
And when I lose my direction I'll look up to the sky

And when the black cloak drags upon the ground
Fm Fm C C
I'll be ready to surrender, and remember
Am Am G G
Well we're all in this together
F F Fm Fm C C G G C C G G
If I live the life I'm given, I wont be scared to die


Verse 3

And I don't come from Detroit, but her diesel motors pull me
And I followed till I finally lost my way
And now I spend my days in search of a woman we called purpose
And if I ever pass back through here town I'll stay


And my life is but a coin, pulled from an empty pocket
Dropped into a slot with dreams of sevens close behind
And hope and fear go with it, and moon and the sun go spinning
Like the numbers and fruits before our eyes

C C F F G G C C
Sometimes I hit, sometimes it robs me blind
C C F F G G C C
Sometimes I hit, sometimes it robs me blind
