Em7   022033

At times, only a single bass note is played between 
chord changes.  There's places in the song where the
chords transition quickly (ie the Em7 D Cadd9 found in 
the second half of most verses) -- here you can play
the chord or just the bass note D, either will work.

The chords found in the intro are a little more 
"crunchy" and seem to be played without thirds.  Cadd9 
becomes
x3x033, G becomes 3x0033, D becomes xx023x if you 
choose to play them this way.

Cadd9 G D

[Verse 1]
        Cadd9                     G
Looking back down the road from a little ways out
  D                      Em7
I never had a fear and I never had a doubt
      Cadd9                        G                
If it had a lick of sense I'd have figured that out 
       D
pretty fast

      Cadd9                       G
But I wadn't any smarter than the average kid
D                        Em7
Somebody mighta noticed, but I never did
  Cadd9                G                     D
I never saw the future fading right into the past

Cadd9                     D
Talking to the wallpaper, wandering the halls
  Em7      D                    Cadd9
I burned a lot of bridges and I dropped a lot of balls
       Cadd9                G                      D
It's a wonder I can ever go back to any place I've been

      Cadd9                   D
But I wouldn't get down on my knees on a bet
    Em7      D                  Cadd9
I'm near enough to Jesus as I'd ever want to get
Cadd9                   G                  D
Seeking salvation ain't part of my general plan

[Chorus]
          Cadd9           G
Save your prayers for yourself
         D             Em7
Raise my glass to your health
        Cadd9       G               D
I don't mind if you don't look like me
      Cadd9              G
I can share my bread and wine
       D            Em7
I come from another time
         Cadd9           G                D
It don't matter all that much if it don't bleed
            Cadd9
If it don't bleed

Cadd9 G D

[Verse 2]
         Cadd9                G
Now it's all I can do to just get out of bed
        D                             Em7 D
There's more in the mirror than there is up ahead
  Cadd9                  G                         D
I smile and I nod like I heard what you said every time
   Cadd9                          D5
So run another rack, pour another shot
    Em7          D       Cadd9
You don't get it back so give it all you got
Cadd9                              G                 
While you still got a more or less functional body 
  D
and mind

[Chorus]
          Cadd9           G
Save your prayers for yourself
         D             Em7
Raise my glass to your health
        Cadd9       G               D
I don't mind if you don't look like me
      Cadd9              G
I can share my bread and wine
       D            Em7
I come from another time
         Cadd9           G                D
It don't matter all that much if it don't bleed
            Cadd9
If it don't bleed

[Verse 3]
             Cadd9               G
I learned to answer my calls and open my mail
  D                   Em7           D
I paid my taxes and I stayed out of jail
    Cadd9                        G
You stay in the game when you're too broke to fail
         D
That's a fact
Cadd9                    D
Talking to the wallpaper sleeping in the hall
     Em7       D              Cadd9
Your bones get brittle so you better not fall
    Cadd9
You slow to a crawl
G                        D
Time gets to balling the jack
D
Run you right off the track

[Chorus]
          Cadd9           G
Save your prayers for yourself
         D             Em7
Raise my glass to your health
        Cadd9       G               D
I don't mind if it don't talk like me
      Cadd9              G
I can share my bread and wine
       D            Em7
I come from another time
         Cadd9           G                D
It don't matter all that much if it don't bleed
            Cadd9
If it don't bleed

[Outro]
Cadd9  G  D
If it don't bleed
Cadd9  G  Em7 D
If it don't bleed
Cadd9  G  D
If it don't bleed
Cadd9
If it don't bleed
