I broke my promise on a very sharp rock

    C                  G 
and I was possessed by something quite unfriendly

    C     G            Am          F 
and I was haunted by a demon in my sleep

    C            G                 C 
and that's how I learned how to survive

C

    C                  F
and I gave a beer to a bum that was drinking

    C                       G
and I gave some sauce to my bestest friend for cooking

    C      G        Am                 F 
and I gave water to all I thought were thirsty

    C            G                 C
and that's how I learned how to survive

C

    C                       F
and I gave some money to my bank for safe keeping

    C                       G
and I gave some money to my landlord he was needing it

    C      G                Am          F
and I gave attention to the TV that was bleeding

    C            G                 C 
and that's how I learned how to survive

Oklahoma Kansas Georgia Tennessee

    C
California is a garden of eden

  C                      F 
a paradise to live in or see

      C           G             Am         F

    C                   F    
and I just ripped off a man named Woodie Guthrie

    C                     G
and I bought a restaurant for his son named Alice

    C     G          Am            F
and I fed false information to the audience

    C            G                 C
and that's how I learned how to survive

C

    C                        F
and I give a thank you to my father for leaving me

    C                          G
and I give a finger to my step father for beating me

    C      G        Am         F
and I give props to myself for achieving

   C        G              C

    C                   F
and I just handed you a giant load of gibberish

    C                G
and I give love to a lover quite deserving of it

    C      G         Am             F 
and I give thanks to all of you for listening

       C               G                     C
to the story of how we all learned how to survive
