Cm  Dm7

[Verse 1]
Cm                                       Dm7   Cm
That temptation by my side I can feel it. Staring at the back of my head
                            Dm7   Cm
it’s trying to bring me down.  But All around, are the voices of the
        Dm7   Cm                              Dm7
innocent, keeping me away from temptation.

[Verse 2]
Cm                                             Dm7   Cm
Temptation, right or wrong,  always calling me.   buried under my feet
                                  Dm7   Cm
 but it only keeps enthralling me.   Uh living large, living like I ain’t
                  Dm7   Cm
got long to live,   and it all just ends in frustration.

[Chorus]
Cm                                              Dm7
I should have learned to   groove with the funk
Cm                                               Dm7
Instead I moved.. on, gone for such a long time…
Cm                                   Dm7  Cm
Change is something I’ll never know, growin till I’m older
                        Dm7
groovin to the funk now.

[Verse 3]
Cm                                         Dm7  Cm
Temptation, justified just to ease my mind, juxtaposed, in ways
                      Dm7   Cm
that’ll keep me blind.   And then I find, that the sun ain’t going
                Dm7    Cm                                   Dm7
to hide for long.   Got to learn to live with temptation
