Frank Turner – If Ever I Stray (Ukulele)

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.

      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
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

      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

                           D
Come on and join me in the water

                       G
Sometimes it's hard to remember

G
I couldn't do this on my own

      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.
