Dm
You know I'm dirty because it's in me
Life's not easy
                                 C
And it's the heart that I won't change
   G               Dm
I wouldn't be the same

You see me one day and then the next day
I don't wanna play
I'm not the same dog you have known
It's not written in stone

Chorus:
           G         C
Well am I right or wrong
 G                     Dm
Looking out for number one
          G       C
I never stay too long
G                         F G
I'm there and then I'm gone

              Dm
I'm not the preacher man
           F
Oh can you understand
G                      Dm
It's a game of win or lose
I've got an evil eye
              F
You know sometimes I might lie
 G                      Dm
Oh I'm not the preacher man
Yeah-Yeah-Yeah

Saint was a sinner
Ain't he a winner
And did you hear him say
I didn't lie just as well
It's all in the head
Oh ain't it funny
How little money
Cheap talking honey
Can turn a sunny day to gray

Chorus

I'm not the preacher man
Oh can you understand
It's a game of win or lose
I've got an evil eye
You know sometimes I might lie
Oh I'm not the preacher man
Yeah-Yeah-Yeah

I'm not the preacher man
Oh can you understand
It's a game of win or lose
I've got an evil eye
You know sometimes I might lie
Oh I'm not the preacher man
Yeah-Yeah-Yeah
