Tuning: Standard tuning Difficulty: novice Strumming Pattern: DU,DU,DU,DU INTRO: G Em D CHORUS: G D Em C I wish I was strong enough to lift not one but both of us G D Em C Someday I will be strong enough to lift not one but both of us VERSE: G Uh, ever thought about losing it Em When your money's all gone and you lose your whip Em You might lose your grip when the landlord tell ya that you're due for rent G And the grass so green on the other side G
Make a nigga wanna run straight through the fence G Em Open up the fridge 'bout twenty times Em But still can't find no food in it Em That's foolishness G And sometimes I wonder, why we care so much about the way we look. G Em And the way we talk and the way we act and Em The clothes we bought, how much that cost. G Does it even really matter? G Cause if life is an up hill battle Em We all tryna climb with the same ol' ladder Em In the same boat, with the same ol' paddle G Why so shallow? I'm just asking G What's the pattern to the madness Em Everybody ain't a number one draft pick Em Most of us ain't Hollywood actors G But if it's all for one, and one for all G Then maybe one day, we all can ball Em Do it one time for the underdogs Em Sincerely yours, from one of y'all CHORUS: G D Em C I wish I was strong enough to lift not one but both of us G D Em C Someday I will be strong enough to lift not one but both of us VERSE: G I can feel your pain, I can feel your struggle Em You just wanna live, but everything so low Em That you could drown in a puddle G That's why I gotta hold us up, yeah hold us up G For all the times no one's ever spoke for us Em To every single time that they play this song Em You can say that that's what Bobby Ray wrote for us G When the tides get too high G And the sea up underneath get so deep Em And you feel like you're just another person Em Getting lost in the crowd, way up high in the nosebleeds G Uh, because we've both been there, yeah, both of us G But we still stand tall with our shoulders up Em And even though we always against the odds Em These are the things that've molded us G And if life hadn't chosen us G Sometimes I wonder where I would've wound up D Cause if it was up to me, I'd make a new blueprint D Than build it from the ground up, hey Em But if it's all for one, and one for all Em Then maybe one day, we all can ball C Do it one time for the underdogs C From Bobby Ray, to all of y'all CHORUS: G D Em C I wish I was strong enough to lift not one but both of us G D Em C Someday I will be strong enough to lift not one but both of us INSTRUMENTAL: G D Em C x2
