Life of Ruin
by Drag the River


Well I've been living, but I've not seen
the way I'm headin into misery
my eyes are blind, my will is weak
my spirits broken and I can't find the courage to speak

D              G             D                   Bm
Jesus saved me from myself I don't know what I'm doing
D                 G             Em              G          D
sin has washed my soul away and left my life in ruin

G         D         G                D
I've been traveling down the road of sin
G           D        Em                  G
it's gettin darker I don't know where it ends
D          G            D        G
my back is achin' and I feel the weight
D           Em   G                   A       D
just speak to me assure me that it's not too late

Jesus saved me from myself
don't know what I'm doing
sin has washed my soul away and left my life in ruin

(now the same chords, but with some fancier picking)

D G D Bm
D G Em G

G        D        G      D
now i'm alive and now i see
G       D               Em      G
the way you saved me from a life of misery
D           G         D         G
my heart is open and my will is strong
D      Em         G            A            G*
now i understand i am in your hands where i belong
G            D                  G*                     D
i been there all along, where i belong, i been there all along

jesus saved me from myself
don't know what i'm doing
sin has washed my soul away and left my life in ruin

jesus saved me from myself
don't know what i'm doing
sin has washed my soul away and left my life in ruin


* At the "where I belong" part, Chad adds something to the second string of the G chord.  It's also at the end.

Tabbed, the top three strings of the chord look something like this:

e-3-3-3-3-3-3-3---
B-3-2-2-0-2-3-3---
G-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---
