Some days I think           it's all a dream

The things I've done, the places that I've been

This life of mine       seems surreal at times

Wasted days and nights in someone else's mind

Gm Cm C7m/Bb

Could it be I'm not for real
I slap my face to check out how I feel
It's hostages to prove it's true
Who lives behind a mask was never proved.

Come on Robert Johnson, though we're worlds apart

I'm wadin' out this            muddy water

     Gm      Dm/A  Gm/Bb Gm/A Gm
Been stranded in the wa---------steland

Rattlin' chains all around my bed
Ghosts can laugh but they're already dead
I'm not dyin' and I'm far from gone
The bluesman spent his candle, but his pain lives on


Outro: Ad lib Gm
