G#m                   B      C#      G#m
Train's coming but I'm stuck on this road
G#m                    B        C#     G#m
Moon's rising and my blood is growing cold
C#m               E                  G#m
Preacher man can't save a soul like mine
C#m                E                G#m
Miracles are just too damn hard to find

Chorus:
            G#m
Ain't gonna drown in the water
            C#m
Ain't gonna drown in the water
            G#m
Ain't gonna drown in the water
          D#7                         G#m
Cause the good lord ain't bringing me home

I'm bound for the broken promise land
To meet my demons and get back my upper hand
Law man can't catch a soul like mine
Miracles are just too damn hard to find

Chorus

Lawman can't catch a soul like mine
Miracles are just too damn hard to find

Chorus - x2
