Man Of Conviction

D  C  D  G

              G
I am a man of conviction
                  Cadd9
I shattered these walls
                   D
Spent my life in a bottle
                   G       D
Cut myself, had to crawl
                             G
Stared down the barrel of a .45
                    Cadd9
Dared the man on the other side
                             D
To have the guts to pull the trigger
Cadd9  D      G
I am a man of conviction

CHORUS
             C
Convicted of loving one girl too much
             G
Sentanced to live without her touch
             A
Convicted of somehow forgetting God
             D
Sentanced to life of hell on earth
           C                                     G     C
They ain't coming back, I've never known either life
              G
It wasn't my intention
D      Cadd9  G
I am a man of conviction

A promise made a promise broken
I left nothing uncertain
I took the lower road
My back bent to carry my load
I broke hearts along the way
Made a fool of myself most days
It wasnt my intention
But I am a man of conviction

CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK

CHORUS 2:
Convicted of loving one girl too much
Sentanced to live without her touch
Convicted of somehow forgetting God
Sentanced to life of hell on earth
They ain't coming back, I've never known either life
It's too late for intervention
I am a man of conviction

             C                                      G     C
No don't you cry for me, I've made this bed out of lies
              G
It wasn't my intention
D      Cadd9  G
I am a man of conviction
                  G
It's too late for intervention
D             G
I am a man of conviction
