Lyrics

[Intro]
| Am | - | - | - |
| -  | - | - |

[Verse 1]
Am
  Leave them lights as they are
And keep your clothes on
        F    C
I've had more than my fill
   G
Of whiskey and women
And goodhearted villains
             F                      Am
But there's a wickedness in me still

[Verse 2]
Am
  Keep that gun locked away
Locked away, boy
              F             C
Well, you know you're an angry young man
        G
Going in town with six rounds
You're sure to be hellbound
    F                                     C G
That house you've got is built on the sand

[Chorus]
G         F
 I've been living on the sand
Am G           C
    Don't take much to guide my hand
G F
   Far from promised land
Am G           C G
    On the sand

[Break]

[Verse 3]
G           Am
 Don't look twice,
look twice at that bottle
                  F
You'll claim that Jesus turned the water to wine
C          G
 You'll be wishing that wine you were drinking was water
           F                               Am
When you're jumping the bridge in the night

[Verse 4]
Am
  Forgive me, forgive me
Don't it sound more clear
        F
When I'm screaming it day after day
C     G
 I've lost all my patience
I'm wasted on waiting on
F                  C   G
 Making my next mistake

[Chorus]
G         F
 I've been living on the sand
Am G           C
    Don't take much to guide my hand
G F
   Far from promised land
Am G           C G
    On the sand

[Outro]
G         F                  Am
 I've been living on the sand
G           C
 Don't take much to guide my hand
G F
   Far from promise land
Am G
    On the sand
C G G7 Am
