Feel Alright
(Steve Earle)G I was born my papa's son C F C G A wanderin' eye and a smokin' gun G Now some of you would live through me C F C G Lock me up and throw away the key G Or just find a place to hide away C F C G Hope that I'll just go away Chorus: Em D C G I feel alright -- I feel alright tonight Em D C G I feel alright -- I feel alright tonight G I'll bring you precious contraband C F C G And ancient tales from distant lands G Of conquerors and concubines and C F C G Conjurers from darker times G Betrayal and conspiracy C F C G Sacrilege and heresy Chorus G I got every thing you want or need C F C G Your darkest fear, your fondest dream G I ask you questions, tell you lies C F C G Criticize and sympathize G Be careful what you wish for friend C F C G Because I've been to hell and now I'm back again Chorus

More Than I Can Do
(Steve Earle)(capo on 3rd fret)
Intro G-D-Em-C G D I'm tryin' hard to let you go Em Bm but it's more than I can do C G And every day or two C D I end up right back where I started I'm tryin' not to let you know that I'm still in love with you I can't just sit home blue cause there ain't no rest for the broken hearted Em C D-Dsus Just because you won't unlock your door Em C D-Dsus That don't mean you don't love me anymore G D Em Bm So... I'm never gonna let you go no matter what you do C Cm G Because you know it's more than I can do You told me that I've gotta stop but it's more than I can do And that ain't nothing new 'Cause we both know that I'm crazy about you You said you're gonna call the cops But I ain't gonna run Because you're the only one There ain't no way I could live without you You left me just when I needed you So I ain't even close to through with you So...I'm never gonna let you go no matter what you do Because you know it's more than I can do
