Intro: C DARREL: C Soda, I'm really a mess Every night I worry myself to sleep F While you're watching cartoons Dm7 There ain't nothing I can do for you C I know that Ponyboy's really got a damn good heart
Something 'bout him that really could take him far F But I keep holding him down I've run this family right into the ground Dm7 C /E F Maybe you'd be best without me C I don't know what else to say I lost our brother and I lost my way F I think a fool could'a done better Maybe I've been afraid to say C That I'm just not cut out for this Just another failure on a growing list F And it's harder now than ever It's more than I can take Dm There ain't no one to bail me out F There ain't no saving this now C I think I'm throwing in the towel SODAPOP: C On the days when you feel like you're torn in two Making dinner, paying bills that are overdue F You think that I don't see? Dm7 It'd go to hell if it was left up to me F C And I don't know what we would do if you were not around The one to keep the ship afloat when its going down F Darrel, I need you And anyone can see that Pony does too C Dm I know you love him F That's all you gotta do C And I don't know what else to say I know you feel like you've lost your way F But I think you're doing better Better than you know DARREL: C If he comes back, there’s a price to pay What if they lock our brother away? SODAPOP: F There ain’t no way of knowin’ We've gotta get our brother home DARREL, SODAPOP, & PONYBOY: C F This is the darkest hour of the darkest night C Looking up ahead, you can't see no light F But the time is now or never There ain't no letting go SODAPOP: Dm Know you might feel like you’re givin’ out F We need you more than ever now C Don't go throwing in the towel Dm I know your head is full of doubt C /E F But brother, that's what love is all about C Don't go throwing in the towel DARREL, SODAPOP, & PONYBOY: F C Dm When you love someone that's all that you can do C There ain't no throwing in the towel
