Capo 1
[Intro]
Bm
[Verse 1]
BmI got a shadow and it foDllows me around
Wherever BmI go, it moves without a sound
My odds are eDvil, that hAunts me down and gets me
AFinds a way to trick me
Then Ddrowns me in the whiskeyBm  
Hold up, DI need some help
The mBmore you feed the beast, the mDore he raises hell
BmI know I got a problem
DBut you know what they say
DSmoke 'em if you got 'emBm  
[Chorus]
AFeeling good

Find me a pBmreacher, I'm doAwn on my knees
I need a lBmeader to break these chains off of me
Don't let 'em hurt me, I'm gAetting kind of worried
