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


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

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


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


Chorus:
C                 Bb

Pick me up and learn me
F                C
Turn me down and burn me

Darling won't you give me

Give me one last try

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

Pick me up and learn me

Give me one last try
