| Am | C | G | Dsus2 |
[Verse 1]
Am C
I didn't wanna shoot that man but he heard that I was
fast
G Dsus2
You know that liquor gave him the courage to put a man
to the ground
Am
But nobody saw,
C
I couldn't claim no self defense
G
So I took off with the morning sun,
Dsus2
running from my sins
Am C
I ended up in every town where all the bad men go
G
And they've been running just like me,
Dsus2
someone always knows
He'll say,
Am C
"Ain't you the man who shot that boy?" and want his turn to
dance
G
So here I die in some street that night,
Dsus2
no never had a chance
[Chorus]
Am
Never meant to be a bad man,
G
I just had a fast hand
Dsus2 C
Ain't going to be nothing in hell I haven't lived through
G
here
Am G
I'm just going to walk out and wish you all goodnight
Dsus2
I never meant to be a bad man,
C G Am
I just had a fast hand
[Verse 2]
Am C
I ended up in Forth Worth 'cause no one knows me here
G Dsus2
And time has a funny way of taken away the years
Am C
I don't mind the changes or the age that's in my face
G
Because there is a piece of my soul
Dsus2
In every man I've killed in every God forsaken place
[Chorus]
Am
Never meant to be a bad man,
G
I just had a fast hand
Dsus2 C
Ain't going to be nothing in hell I haven't lived through
G
here I'm
Am
just going to walk out,
G
yeah tonight I'll save your life
Dsus2
I never meant to be a bad man,
C G Am
I just had a fast hand
