[Intro] F C G C [Verse 1]
       C
Uh hey Jesus can you give me a ride back home

           C                                     G
I've been out here in this world too long on my own

        F                               C
I won't bother you no more, if you can just get me in the door

    G                                C
Hey Jesus can you get me a ride back home
F C G C [Verse 2]
         C
When I started out I was so young and so strong

        C                                        G
I just let it roll off my back when things went wrong

          F                      C
Now it's starting to get to me, all of this inhumanity

     G                               C
Hey Jesus can you get me a ride back home
[Bridge]
F                        C
 You wouldn't know it by looking at me now

F                               G
 But I was showing some promise once upon a time

F G                   F G
    But it's gone now...  and it ain't comin back

F G                        F G
   My time's come and gone...it's as simple as that
[Verse 3]
      C
Hey Jesus this world is too troublesome for me

         C                                           G
I try to fight off all these devils but I'm just too weak

         F                                   C
When I'm out here walking alone, I feel like taking my life but I won't

          G                                  C
Too big a coward, can you get me a ride back home
[Outro]
     G                               C
Hey Jesus can you get me a ride back home

     G                               C
Hey Jesus can you get me a ride back home
