Key:Gm
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
Gm Gm Eb Cm
Gm Gm Eb Cm
[Verse]
Gm
I was out here playin' devilish games
Gm
So it's only right I ended up set up in flames
Eb
I'm a grown man so I'll never complain
Cm
I'm addicted to pain and bein' left in the rain
Gm
I just sit and think about what I never became
Gm
I pray everyday that I'm ready to change
Eb
They say once it's bad that it's never the same
Cm
It's like my car broke down on memory lane
Gm
I can't wait 'til I face all the critics
Gm Eb
That ain't never had to face the decisions that I had
Cm
To know if they had made the same ones shut the fuck up, You don't get paid to
hate for a livin'
Gm
It's so easy to point your finger and judge
Gm
Hop in the pig pen and get to swingin' the mud
Eb
Everything that we was, everything we've become
Cm
Every war that we won, everything that I've done (ha)
Gm
Ha, Lord can you hear my prayer
Gm
It's somethin' 'bout the city I can feel I swear
Eb
I'm on my way God 'cause you're really there
Cm
Alabama to Mississippi, now I'm almost there
Cm
Before I felt your presence I was almost scared
Gm
A trade with the Devil I was almost shared
Eb
Now I'm headed to the delta where no one cares
Cm
Where our souls are buried and loneliness is shared
[Chorus]
Gm Gm
In the darkness where the heartless and demons scream
Eb Cm Gm
Been tryin' to come clean, but it ain't what it seems
Gm Eb
I found a nightmare in my dreams,
Cm
Down in New Orleans
Gm Gm
The darkness where the heartless and demons scream
Eb Cm Gm
Been tryin' to come clean, but it ain't what it seems
Gm Eb
I found a nightmare in my dreams,
Cm
Down in New Orleans
[Verse]
Gm
Heard a rumor they was comin' for me
Gm
Saw a glimpse into the future I was smilin' countin' blood money
Eb
Walkin' down the dark alley street lights flickerin'
Cm
Everything around me seemed so different
Gm Gm
Figurin' I must be lost, bad feelin' in my gut I gotta dust it off
Eb
I got a chip on my shoulder better brush it off
Cm
I keep reachin' for the gun havin' crazy thoughts
Gm
I heard a mother cryin' tears fallen from her old eyes
Gm Eb
Pedal drops as a rose dies, see it clear with closed eyes
Cm
Gunshot then the crow flies, night fall and the smoke rise
Gm
Couldn't see the beauty inside all of the darkness
Gm
Vengeance and love I get confused with being heartless
Eb
Heartless cross me out for a couple dollars
Cm
Runnin' with the Devil and wonder what trouble follows
Cm Gm
Standin' in the street, surrounded by my past
Eb
Every sin I ever committed, is takin' me at last, Saw karma's face in a black
hoodie
Cm
With some gold teeth, and heard the police
Cm
Heard a loud scream
N.C.
Seen the barrel flash
Gm
Felt the sharp pain and now I can't breath
Eb
Woke up from a dream in New Orleans
Cm
Put my hands up as the choir sings
[Chorus]
Gm Gm
In the darkness where the heartless and demons scream
Eb Cm Gm
Been tryin' to come clean, but it ain't what it seems
Gm Eb
I found a nightmare in my dreams,
Cm
Down in New Orleans
Gm Gm
The darkness where the heartless and demons scream
Eb Cm Gm
Been tryin' to come clean, but it ain't what it seems
Gm Eb
I found a nightmare in my dreams,
Cm
Down in New Orleans

[Verse 1: Jelly Roll]
I was out here playin' devilish games
So it's only right I ended up set up in flames
I'm a grown man so I'll never complain
I'm addicted to pain and bein' left in the rain
I just sit and think about what I never became
I pray everyday that I'm ready to change
They say once it's bad that it's never the same
It's like my car broke down on memory lane
I can't wait 'til I face all the critics
That ain't never had to face the decisions that I had
To know if they had made the same ones shut the fuck up
You don't get paid to hate for a livin'
It's so easy to point your finger and judge
Hop in the pig pen and get to swingin' the mud
Everything that we was, everything we've become
Every war that we won, everything that I've done
Ha, Lord can you hear my prayer
It's somethin' 'bout the city I can feel I swear
I'm on my way God 'cause you're really there
Alabama to Mississippi, now I'm almost there
Before I felt your presence I was almost scared
A trade with the Devil I was almost shared
Now I'm headed to the delta where no one cares
Where our souls are buried and loneliness is shared
[Chorus: Jelly Roll]
In the darkness where the heartless and demons scream
Been tryin' to come clean, but it ain't what it seems
I found a nightmare in my dreams, down in New Orleans
The darkness where the heartless and demons scream
Been tryin' to come clean, but it ain't what it seems
I found a nightmare in my dreams, down in New Orleans
[Verse 2: Struggle Jennings]
Heard a rumor they was comin' for me
Saw a glimpse into the future I was smilin' countin' blood money

I found a nightmare in my dreams, down in New Orleans
The darkness where the heartless and demons scream
Been tryin' to come clean, but it ain't what it seems
I found a nightmare in my dreams. down in New Orleans
