AI was battle-torn and worn
I was ravaged by scores of DarrowsA  
  BmThought about it for a little while
Realized that I could walk away some Aday
AA rack of ties, a travel mug
A telephone, a briefcase filled Dwith papersA  
  BmI thought about it for a little while
Realized I could leave the way I Acame
[Chorus]
Oh my Dgoodness, oh Emy my
Could've happened to Ame
[Verse 2]
AAt a border town I learned to keep my hat brim down
And never talk Dto strangersA  
  BmThought about for a little while
Realized I was only a drop in Arain
AA rack of ties, a travel mug
A telephone, a briefcase fulDl of papersA  
  BmI thought about it for a little while
Realized I was only a link in a Achain gang, babe
I always Dtook their aDmdvice
I watched them Alay down on the altar
Just like human F#sacrifices
[Chorus]
Oh my Dgoodness, oh Emy my

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

I was battle-torn and worn

D A

I was ravaged by scores of arrows

Thought about it for a little while

Realized that I could walk away some day

A rack of ties, a travel mug

D A

A telephone, a briefcase filled with papers

I thought about it for a little while

Realized I could leave the way I came

[Chorus]

D E

Oh my goodness, oh my my

Could've happened to me

[Verse 2]

At a border town I learned to keep my hat brim down

D A

And never talk to strangers

Thought about for a little while

Realized I was only a drop in rain

A rack of ties, a travel mug

D A

A telephone, a briefcase full of papers

I thought about it for a little while

Realized I was only a link in a chain gang, babe

D Dm

I always took their advice

I watched them lay down on the altar

Just like human sacrifices

[Chorus]

D E

Oh my goodness, oh my my

Could've happened to me

D E

Oh my goodness, oh my my

Could've happened to me

D E

Oh my goodness, oh my my

Could've happened to me
