Usually I play this D shape:

B|----3----|
G|----2----|
D|----0----|
A|----x----|
E|----x----|
Intro: G
Verse 1:
G C
When I�m hosed and they're closing in, maybe only then,
Em D G
really, I�ll try to get right with myself.
C
So I�ll grope down that ladder again, until I�m tumbling
Em D G
but really, I just want to slide, I want to crash-land.
C
While my friend, my associate, he�s a regal man.
Em D G
He bindles and he twists and ties, gives the reckoning,
C
and then it�s back on the road again with maybe thirteen grand.
Em D G
Moralize all you might like, I don't believe in it.
Chorus:
G C D
(You�ve never earned your soul.) I know,
D C D
(You�ve never earned your soul.) I know,
D C D
(You�ve never earned your soul.) I know,
Em C G D G
but I�m gonna try.
Verse 2:
G C
I�m a rich young sophisticate, I�ve got girls and friends.
Em D G
I�m doing what I really like and getting paid for it.
G C
There is no key, there�s no plan; I discovered that.
Em D G
And, truly, I don�t think you'll find a happier man.
Chorus
Em C G D
"....but I'm gonna try."
Em C
You float up high and it isn�t a sin.
G D
And there isn�t a hell where we�ll be sent.
Em C
There�s only now, and there isn�t then.
G D G
So just breathe it in.
