Chords for David Ford - Every Time (Original) [EXPLICIT LYRICS] - Ont' Sofa Gibson Sessions

_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [D] Well, [G] some people they claim they never had a fair roll of the dice
[D] It could be right.
[G] That's not me.
See I was lucky and I had everything just fall in my [C] plate
[D] Call it fate if you want [C] to but for all the [D] elaborate setup and maneuver [Em] being wheeled into position [F#] to deliver some
[C] saccharine punch to the [A] guts of the world screaming out
[D] Whatever the hell they think it is that I've got [G] every time I was given a chance to stand on [C] my own two feet
Oh, [D] I fell.
Yeah, and [G] every time I was given a chance to stand on my [C] own two [D] feet.
Oh, I fell
Yeah, [G] there a time opportunity knocked on my door.
I just sent it on [Cm] straight down to hell
Cuz every [G] time I was [Em] given a chance to stand on [C] my own two [D] feet
_ [Em] Well, [D] _ _
[G] some people they imagine that disappointment must tear [C] me apart
[D] Break my heart and [G] presume that I'm disgusted by all the injustice [C] I've seen
[D] That's not me
And I'll tell you [C] that I bear no resentment [D] to millionaire pub [Em] singers barely literate poets [E] and guitar store [C] gunslingers
Now smile so [A] politely for the well-meaning ignorance of people who tell me [D] I'm gonna make it [A] someday
Every [G] time I was given a chance to stand on my own two feet.
[Dm] Oh, I fell
Yeah, and every [G] time I was given a chance to stand [D] on my own two feet.
[A] Oh, I fell
Yeah, there a [G] time opportunity knocked on my door.
[D] I just sent it on straight down to [Cm] hell
Cuz [G] every time I was given a [Em] chance to stand on [C] my own two [D] feet
_ [Em] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ [G] Well sun's going down
And what's left of today?
And the tide drags what's left [D] of this moment away
And [G] so I kick through the dirt and the red autumn leaves
[D] What I had and what I lost and what I still believe
_ [G] And I have no regrets for the time that I spent
[D] Barely paying my dues and barely paying the rent
For [G] a simple pursuit of more honest a life.
[Em] Yeah, I don't cheat on my taxes.
I [D] don't cheat on my wife
Now [G] the fires burning out and the walls closing in [C] and I'm [G] dragged by the gravity [D] into the sin of
obedience service of some twisted machine
[C] Blowing smoke in the [G] faces [D] of each little scene
[G] Sent to form a distraction just to buy up some time
[C] misdirected by [D] swagger and beaten by rhyme
[G] Telling tales of a life you might one day attain [C] if you just keep your focus
[D] Relentlessly trained [G] on the things you can get but not who you can be
[C] nor the innocent dream of [D] the sky and the sea [G] and the word and the truth and the spirit of man and [C] a
History of the promises [A] one day we can [G] with a love for your brother and your sister and yourself
Get [C] there one day together in good [A] cheer and good health, [G] but it comes at a cost
Yeah, that's a price that you pay for a [C] sweet Baltimore.
You've got to [Dm] give up today
It's [G] a sacrifice way beyond mortals like me [C] when a kid never was and [A] never could ever be
[G] So I don't dwell on the past and I'm rude my mistakes [C] and I'm proud that I [A] never had whatever it takes
[G] And I'm still on the deck
Let's leak your boat with just a [C] shirt on my [D] back and a song in my throat
And [G] I'm the luckiest boy on the face of the earth.
I know [D] about love and I know what it's worth
So I'm not [G] giving up.
I'm not giving in.
[C] I know it's a [D] fight that I'm not gonna win
[G] Still scream in the face of more powerful men.
I [E] choose this motherfucker and I choose it again
_ Cuz every [G] time I was given a chance to stand on [C] my own two feet
[A] Oh, I fell.
Yeah, and [G] every time I was given a chance to stand on [C] my own two feet
[A] Oh, I fell.
Yeah, [G] there it's time opportunity knocked on my door
I just said it on straight down a [Cm] hill
Cuz every time I was given a chance [Em] to stand on [D] my own two feet
Yeah, every time I was given a chance
[A] Just to stand on my [C] own [D] two feet.
Oh
Every [G] time [A] that I was given a [Em] chance
Just to stand on [C] my own
[D] two feet
[G] Well, I fell _ _ _ _ _
