G
Forgive me someone, for I have sinned
Cadd9
And I know not where I should begin
D
Some days it feels like you just can't win
Am C
No matter what you do or say.
G
Things didn't kill me but I don't feel stronger
Cadd9
Life is short but it feels much longer
D
You've lost that drive, you've lost that hunger
Am C
To pull yourself through the day.
Chorus
G
But if ever I stray from the path I follow
C
Take me down to the English Channel
D
Throw me in where the water is shallow
Am C
And then drag me on back to shore!
G
'Cos love is free and life is cheap
C
As long as I've got me a place to sleep
D
Clothes on my back and some food to eat
Am C
I can't ask for anything more
D
Come on everybody sing it 1, 2, 3, 4
G
G
We've all got secrets that we hold inside
Cadd9
The worst little things that we try and defy
D
The worst one of all that you never can hide
Am C
Is that you're never quite as strong as you sound
G
So I'm sorry baby, for the times I've hurt you
Cadd9
Sorry friends, for the times I desert you
D
Most days it feels like I don't deserve you
Am C
No wonder that you're all still around
Chorus
G
But if ever I stray from the path I follow
C
Take me down to the English Channel
D
Throw me in where the water is shallow
Am C
And then drag me on back to shore!
G
'Cos love is free and life is cheap
C
As long as I've got me a place to sleep
D
Clothes on my back and some food to eat
Am C
I can't ask for anything more
D
Come on everybody sing it 1, 2, 3, 4
G
D
Come on and join me in the water
Swim for hope
G/C
Sometimes it's hard to remember
G
I couldn't do this on my own
Chorus
G
But if ever I stray from the path I follow
C
Take me down to the English Channel
D
Throw me in where the water is shallow
Am C
And then drag me on back to shore!
G
'Cos love is free and life is cheap
C
As long as I've got me a place to sleep
D
Clothes on my back and some food to eat
Am C
I can't ask for anything more
D
I can't ask for anything more
G
The path I chose isn't straight and narrow
Cadd9
It wanders 'round like a drunken fellow
D
Some days it's hard for me to follow
Am C
But if you've got my back I'll go on.
D G
If you've got my back I'll go on.
