[N] [Bm]
[A] [F#]
[C] [A]
[G]
Give me someone for I have sinned and [C] I know not where I should begin
And [D] some days it feels like you just can't win no [Am] matter what you do or [C] say
[G] Things didn't kill me, but I don't feel stronger.
[C] Life is short, but it feels much longer when [D] you've lost the fight
Yeah, you've lost that hunger [Am] to pull yourself through the [C] day
But [G] if ever I stray from the path I follow, [C] take me down to the English Channel
[D] Throw me where the water is shallow [Am] and then drag me on back to [C] shore
[G] Love is free and life is cheaper
[C] And as long as I've got me a place to sleep, some [D] clothes on my back and some food to eat
Then [Am] I can't ask for [C] anything more
[D] So come on everybody sing a one, two, three, [G] four
We all have secrets that we hold inside
[C] Yeah, the worst little things that you never can find
And [D] the worst one of all that you just can't hide
Is [Am] that you're never quite as strong as you [C] sound
[G] So I'm sorry baby for the times I've hurt
[C]
Sorry friends for the times I've deserted [D] you
Most days it feels like I don't deserve you and I [Am] wonder that you're all still [C] around
So [G] if ever I stray from the path I follow, [C] take me down to the English Channel
[D] Throw me where the water is shallow and then [Am] drag me on [C] back to shore
[G] Love is free and life is cheaper
And as [C] long as I've got me a place to sleep, some [D] clothes on my back and some food to eat
Then I [Am] can't ask for anything [C] more
So [D] come on everybody sing a one, two, [G] three, four
Come on and join me in the water
[D] In the swim for a while
Sometimes it's hard to [C] remember
I couldn't do this on my own
[D] [C]
[D] So if [G] ever I stray from the path I follow, take me down to the [C] English Channel
Throw [D] me where the water [G] is shallow and [Am] then drag me on back [C] to shore
[G] Love is free and life is cheaper
[C] And as long as I've got me a place to sleep, [D] some clothes on my back and some food to eat
Then I [Am] can't ask [G]
[C] [Am] for [Bm] anything
[C] [Am] [C]
[D] [G] more
My five shoulders isn't straight and narrow
[C] Wonders around like a drunken fellow
[D] Some days it's hard for me to [Am] follow
But if you've got my back [C] I'll go on
[D] If you've got my back [G] I'll go on
