D
Over there in the shadows, hangin' out in the corner of my mind
G                                                      D
Stringing up the gallows, waiting for me to cross that line
           A
That man's dangerous as hell, a threat to himself, 
   G
if he got out there'd be hell to pay.
D                  A
And that's why, my dark side, 
G          A                D
don't ever see the light of day.

D
I've slowed down on the whiskey, 'cause there always comes a point
G                                                    D
When I've had too many, tear down every wall in that joint
     A
I've got a wife, I've got a son, that don't know half the stuff I've done, 
G
and I pray that's the way that it stays
D                  A
And that's why, my dark side,
G          A                D
don't ever see the light of day


        Bm              A
You can blame it on the rebel raisin'
        G               D
you can blame it on the South
        Bm              A
You can blame it on the words 
         G               A
I try to keep here in my mouth
   Bm             A
It takes a lot to start me up
    G                A
but once that hammer drops
G
Boy you don't wanna be the one 
                      A
that tries to make me stop


Bm  A  G  G,    G  G  A


D
All you thugs and ugly mugs dealing drugs and making noise
D                                               A
You can kill each other all you want but if you touch my little boy
D
You'll be beggin' for this bullet, it will be the last thing that you see
D               C         C/B    A
Before I let my dark side…       Come out to play.
