ADAE7
I was running from my master, and I tried out every new thing I could find
ADAE7A
But my life turned into one disaster, without the Lord I almost blew my mind
(Chorus)
ADAE7
I was sitting in the front seat, trying really hard to be the driver
AD
Thinking I was making real good time,
AE7AAsus4
but always winding up the late arriver
DA
But now I've been riding in the back seat,
E7AAsus4
and I see it is a very great relief
DA
Now I'm trying out the back seat,
EDA
and I'm leaving all the driving to the chief
(on ending) A E A

AD
I went barrelling out full speed ahead,
AE7
I went a-running every stop sign that I'd see
AD
Thinking I'd give the Lord a short cut, yeah,
AE7A
but I found out he don't need no help from me
(Chorus)
