If you knew my story, you'd have a hard time

Believing me

       Em           D
You'd think I was lying

 G       G7     C      G
Joy and sorrow never last

I'll die trying not to live in the past

[Verse]
   G       G7               C          G
I left my clothes on that cold river rock

    C            G          Em         D
My cares and my woes rolled up in my socks

G      G7            C        G
I lay down in that mountain stream

         C  G      D          G
And the icy water rushed over me
[Chorus]
        D          D7           G
If you knew (if you knew) my story

Drew the water from the well

Tell  me I'm not alone
[Verse]
      G          G7           C               G
Many backs have broken from lesser weight I know

C              G    Em                D
I was born to carry more than I can hold

      G        G7        C             G
Even though I stumble, even though I fall

        C           G
You'll never see me crumble

        D            G
You'll never see me crawl

My heaven and my hell

        D        D7           G
If you knew (if you knew) my story

       G           D       C Em
You'd have a good story to tell  me

     B     C
I'm not alone

Tell  me I'm not alone
[Outro]

You'll never see (you'll never see)

     G     C  D  G  C  D
Me crawl

         D      G
If you knew my story
