4/4 Slowly

Intro: |G|G

|G
The last time I saw Jesus
|G |Am
I was drinking bloody mary's in the South
|C |D
In a barroom in New Orleans
|G
Rinsin' out the bad taste in my mouth /
|G |G
I said the road is my redeemer
|Am
I never know just what on earth I'll find
|C |D
In the faces of a stranger
|G
In the dark and weary corners of a mind
|G |G
She wore a dark and faded blazer
|Am
With a little of the lining hanging out
|C
When the jukebox played Miss Dorothy Moore
|D |G
I knew that it was him without a doubt /
|G
She said, The last highway is only
|G |Am
As far away as you are from yourself
|C |D
And no matter just how bad it gets
|G
It does no good to blame somebody else
|G|Am
Ain't it crazy
|C D |G
What's revealed when you're not looking all that close
|G|Am
Ain't it crazy
|C D |G|G|G
How we put to death the ones we need the most
|G
I know I'm not a martyr
|Am
I've never died for anyone but me
|C |D
The last frontier is only
|G|G
The stranger in the mirror that I see /
But when I least expect it
|G |Am
Here and there I see my savior's face
|C |D
He's still my favorite loser
|G
Falling for the entire human race
|G|Am
Ain't it crazy
