Sam Roberts – This Wreck Of A Life (Ukulele)

               G   F#m       Em      D
You know that bad luck will eat you up 

G  A
When’s it gonna end? 

G                 F#m            Em  
  I twisted everything I could 

              D
Out of words 

                 G  A                G  A
In real life my colours never blend 

             D      G         A
When I was a boy I said to myself 

               D        G      F#m
That I’d never lean on anyone else 

        D
Oh, but I was wrong 

     G
Yeah I was wrong 

       A
And my mother took me by the hands and then 

D   G         A
Oh, oh how I prayed 

         D               G         F#m      A
That the good Lord would come and take me away 

          D         G              A
From this mess of a life that I’m in 

                 D     G         A
And I fell to my knees oh and I cried 

       D               G           F#m          A
As the lightning rose up from the earth to the sky 

        D           G            A
In this wreck of a life that I’m in 

        D           G            A
In this mess of a life that I’m in 

G                  F#m
Come on you got a lot to give 

  Em
A lot to live for 

    D                G  A
And hope it all gets better 

    G                      F#m        Em              
You twisted everything you can out of anything 

  D                   G  A       G  A
I know it’s gonna get better 

                    D         G      A
And I’m so sick and tired of lying around 

                       D          G             F#m
We’re all waiting for someone to light up this town 

       D
Oh, it won’t be long 

   G
It won’t be long 

      A                                  D
And I know I should have left town but I stayed 

G         A
Oh how I prayed 

          D              G         F#m      A
That the good Lord would come and take me away 

          D         G              A
From this mess of a life that I’m in 

                 D      G       A
And I fell to my knees oh and I cried 

       D               G           F#m          A
As the lightning rose up from the earth to the sky 

        D          G              A
In this wreck of a life that I’m in 

        D          G             A
In this mess of a life that I’m in 

D                                    G                     A
Oh and it feels like I’m writing a book and I can’t get inspired 

    D
Sometimes 

                                 G                        A
It seems that I’m breathing in smoke and my lungs are so tired 

   D
Oh well 

                                    G
I’ll just sleep it all off and then hope that it don’t get me 

A
fired 

                   D
And I’m asking you please 

   G        A
Oh oh how I prayed 

         D               G         F#m     A
That the good Lord would come and take me away 

          D         G              A
From this mess of a life that I’m in 

                 D      G       A
And I fell to my knees oh and I cried 

       D               G          F#m          A
As the lightning rose up from the earth to the sky 

        D          G              A
In this wreck of a life that I’m in 

    D   G        A
And oh, oh how I prayed 

         D               G        F#m       A
That the good Lord would come and take me away 

          D         G             A
From this mess of a life that I’m in 

                  D     G       A
And I fell to my knees oh and I cried 

       D              G           F#m          A
As the lightning rose up from the earth to the sky 

        D          G             A

In this mess of a life that I’m in 

        D         G             A
In this mess of a life that I’m in  (and I fell to my knees)

        D          G             A
In this wreck of a life that I’m in
