Chorus:
C majorC         Bb majorBb
Won't you give me something
FF         C majorC
Something to hold on to
C majorC          Bb majorBb
This whole world has taken
FF       C majorC
Taken me for a ride


Verse 1:
     C majorC              Bb majorBb          C majorC
You come smiling through the doorway looking like an old regret
     C majorC            Bb majorBb        C majorC
Still a whole lot better than you did last time we met
     C majorC            Bb majorBb        C majorC
Between a real hard spot and a hole in a concrete wall
C majorC           Bb majorBb           C majorC
Running out of highway looking for a place to fall

Chorus:
C majorC         Bb majorBb
Won't you give me something
FF         C majorC
Something to hold on to
C majorC          Bb majorBb
This whole world has taken
FF       C majorC
Taken me for a ride
C majorC       Bb majorBb
Pick me up and learn me
FF        C majorC
Turn me down and burn me
C majorC         Bb majorBb
Darling won't you give me
FF        C majorC
Give me one last try


Verse 2:
    C majorC               Bb majorBb      C majorC
Well to tell you true I thought we'd never be here again
    C majorC        Bb majorBb            C majorC
Gonna feel alright now darling for the shape I'm in
    C majorC          Bb majorBb            C majorC
Nearly fell to pieces just thinking it would all fall through
    C majorC            Bb majorBb        C majorC
Feeling like somebody when you finally came into view

Chorus:
C majorC         Bb majorBb
Darling won't you give me something
FF         C majorC
Something to hold on to
C majorC        Bb majorBb
This whole world has taken
FF       C majorC
Taken me for a ride
C majorC       Bb majorBb
Pick me up and learn me
FF        C majorC
Turn me down and burn me
C majorC         Bb majorBb
Darling won't you give me
FF        C majorC
Give me one last try

Verse 3:
   C majorC         Bb majorBb        C majorC
Now I won't say it all worked out like I planned
C majorC          Bb majorBb       C majorC
Lucky I still got a leg on which to stand
C majorC    C majorC    C majorC    Bb majorBb C majorC
I had a half of mind to get gone
C majorC     C majorC    C majorC   Bb majorBb C majorC
Leave it a little try to move on
C majorC           Bb majorBb           C majorC
But I just sat there staring at the secondhand
C majorC
On the barroom wall now


Chorus:
C majorC         Bb majorBb
Darling won't you give me something
FF      C majorC
Something to hold on to
C majorC          Bb majorBb
This whole world has taken
FF       C majorC
Taken me for a ride
C majorC       Bb majorBb
Pick me up and learn me
FF        C majorC
Turn me down and burn me
C majorC         Bb majorBb
Darling won't you give me
FF        C majorC
Give me one last try
C majorC
