G+G
Forgive me someone, for I have sinned
   Cadd9Cadd9
And I know not where I should begin
   D MajorD
Some days it feels like you just can't win
  A minorAm           C majorC
No matter what you do or say.

G+G
Things didn't kill me but I don't feel stronger
Cadd9Cadd9
Life is short but it feels much longer
    D MajorD
You've lost that drive, you've lost that hunger
  A minorAm             C majorC
To pull yourself through the day.

Chorus

   G+G
But if ever I stray from the path I follow
C majorC
Take me down to the English Channel
D MajorD
Throw me in where the water is shallow
     A minorAm         C majorC
And then drag me on back to shore!

   G+G
'Cos love is free and life is cheap
  C majorC
As long as I've got me a place to sleep
D MajorD
Clothes on my back and some food to eat
 A minorAm           C majorC
I can't ask for anything more

D MajorD
Come on everybody sing it 1, 2, 3, 4

G+G

G+G
We've all got secrets that we hold inside
  Cadd9Cadd9
The worst little things that we try and defy
   D MajorD
The worst one of all that you never can hide
        A minorAm              C majorC
Is that you're never quite as strong as you sound

G+G
So I'm sorry baby, for the times I've hurt you
Cadd9Cadd9
Sorry friends, for the times I desert you
 D MajorD
Most days it feels like I don't deserve you
  A minorAm              C majorC
No wonder that you're all still around

Chorus

   G+G
But if ever I stray from the path I follow
C majorC
Take me down to the English Channel
D MajorD
Throw me in where the water is shallow
     A minorAm         C majorC
And then drag me on back to shore!

   G+G
'Cos love is free and life is cheap
  C majorC
As long as I've got me a place to sleep
D MajorD
Clothes on my back and some food to eat
 A minorAm           C majorC
I can't ask for anything more


D MajorD
Come on everybody sing it 1, 2, 3, 4

G+G


              D MajorD
Come on and join me in the water

Swim for hope
            G/C
Sometimes it's hard to remember
G+G
I couldn't do this on my own


Chorus

   G+G
But if ever I stray from the path I follow
C majorC
Take me down to the English Channel
D MajorD
Throw me in where the water is shallow
     A minorAm         C majorC
And then drag me on back to shore!

   G+G
'Cos love is free and life is cheap
  C majorC
As long as I've got me a place to sleep
D MajorD
Clothes on my back and some food to eat
 A minorAm           C majorC
I can't ask for anything more

D MajorD
I can't ask for anything more

G+G
The path I chose isn't straight and narrow
Cadd9Cadd9
It wanders 'round like a drunken fellow
   D MajorD
Some days it's hard for me to follow
        A minorAm         C majorC
But if you've got my back I'll go on.
  D MajorD              G+G
