forgive me someone , for i have sinned
Cadd9
and i know not where i should begin
D
some days it feels like you just can’t win
Am C
no matter what you do or say .

G
things didn’t kill me but i don’t feel stronger
Cadd9
life is short but it feels much longer
D
you’ve lost that drive , you’ve lost that hunger
Am C
to pull yourself through the day .

chorus

G
but if ever i stray from the path i follow
C
take me down to the english channel
D
throw me in where the water is shallow
Am C
and then drag me on back to shore!

G
’cos love is free and life is cheap
C
as long as i’ve got me a place to sleep
D
clothes on my back and some food to eat
Am C
i can’t ask for anything more

D
come on everybody sing it 1 , 2 , 3 , 4

G

G
we’ve all got secrets that we hold inside
Cadd9
the worst little things that we try and defy
D
the worst one of all that you never can hide
Am C
is that you’re never quite as strong as you sound

G
so i’m sorry baby , for the times i’ve hurt you
Cadd9
sorry friends , for the times i desert you
D
most days it feels like i don’t deserve you
Am C
no wonder that you’re all still around

chorus

G
but if ever i stray from the path i follow
C
take me down to the english channel
D
throw me in where the water is shallow
Am C
and then drag me on back to shore!

G
’cos love is free and life is cheap
C
as long as i’ve got me a place to sleep
D
clothes on my back and some food to eat
Am C
i can’t ask for anything more

D
come on everybody sing it 1 , 2 , 3 , 4

G

D
come on and join me in the water

swim for hope
G/C
sometimes it’s hard to remember
G
i couldn’t do this on my own

chorus

G
but if ever i stray from the path i follow
C
take me down to the english channel
D
throw me in where the water is shallow
Am C
and then drag me on back to shore!

G
’cos love is free and life is cheap
C
as long as i’ve got me a place to sleep
D
clothes on my back and some food to eat
Am C
i can’t ask for anything more

D
i can’t ask for anything more

G
the path i chose isn’t straight and narrow
Cadd9
it wanders ’round like a drunken fellow
D
some days it’s hard for me to follow
Am C
but if you’ve got my back i’ll go on .
D G
if you’ve got my back i’ll go on .
