[Verse]
G Forgive me someone, for I have sinned Cadd9 And I know not where I should begin D And 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 When you've lost that fight, yeah 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 G/B C And then drag me on back to shore! G 'Cos love is free and life is cheap C But as long as I've got me a place to sleep D Clothes on my back and some food to eat Am G/B C I can't ask for anything more D Come on everybody sing it 1, 2, 3, 4
G
[Verse]
G So we've all got secrets that we hold inside Cadd9 Yeah the worst little things that you never confide D The worst one of all that you just can't 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 And I 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 G/B C And then drag me on back to shore! G 'Cos love is free and life is cheap C But as long as I've got me a place to sleep D Clothes on my back and some food to eat Am G/B C I can't ask for anything more D Come on everybody sing it 1, 2, 3, 4
G
[Bridge]
D
Come on and join me in the waterSwim for hope
C Sometimes it's hard to remember C D I couldn't do this on my own
[Chorus]
N.C.
But if ever I stray from the path I follow
N.C.
Take me down to the English Channel
N.C.
Throw me in where the water is shallow
Am G/B C D 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 G/B C I can't ask for anything more Am G/B C Can't ask for anything more
Am G/B C D
[Outro]
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 G/B C But if you've got my back I'll go on. D G If you've got my back I'll go on.
