[D]Maybe if I lay real still
[D]It will go [D/G]away, [D/F#]maybe it [D/B]will
[D]Maybe this time I won't budge

[D]Maybe this time [D/G]it might [D/F#]be a [D/B]sinch

Chorus
[Em7]Maybe I'm just damaged goods
And, [A]baby, you're a babe in the woods
And [Em7]me, I'm just a little lost lamb
But [A]you love me whatever I am
And [Em7]maybe I've been caught red-handed
[A] Making off like a lucky bandit
[A] And this wasn't how I planned it

Verse
[D]Maybe this time I could stay
[D]And let myself get [D/G][D/F#]carried [D/B]away
[D]Maybe this time it's too late
[D]We could make a [D/G]move or [D/F#]we could [D/B]wait
[D]Maybe she will understand
[D]And not expect too [D/G]much from [D/F#]one [D/B]man
Maybe she [A#]can[C]
Or maybe she [D][G]can't[F#]
Chorus
[Em7]Maybe when I've changed my tune
I'll [A]come out of my solitude
And [Em7]start to live my life anew
And [A]spend the rest of my days pleasing you
And [Em7]on the path to righteousness
I'll [A]swept the dust
[A]Whatever it takes to gain your trust
I'll do what [G]I must[D]
I'll do what I [G]must (I'll do what I [D]must)
I'll do what I [G]must (I'll do what I [D]must)
I'll do what I [G]must[D]
Instrumental

Chorus
[Em7]Maybe I'm just damaged goods
And, [A]baby, you're a babe in the woods
And [Em7]me, I'm just a little lost lamb
But [A]you love me whatever I am
And [Em7]maybe I've been caught red-handed
[A]Making off like a lucky bandit
[A]And now I walk this planet
