Standard (EADGBE)
I was feelin' important, feelin' in control
Felt like everywhere I went, folks said, "There he goes"
I was beaming like a noon-day sun, my ducks all in a row
When all a sudden in a flash, I saw it was not so
Ain't goin' my way
Ain't goin' my way
There's no denyin' thing's ain't flyin' my way
Aint goin' my way
Aint goin' my way
There's no denyin' thing's ain't flyin' my way
I used to walk around a lot feelin' pretty small
People said, "You're not so bad" so I stood up tall
Then my inner Napoleon said, "You could have it all!"
I hit a curb and strained a nerve and headed for a fall
Chorus
Now I am a lonely mole back in the underground
Diggin' bigger hills and little hills cause I'm so tightly wound
Really am I all that bad takin' pennies for the pound
Cause even from the margins, lord, there comes a holy sound
