Dm           Bb/F
   (Beggin') Beggin'...

Em7-5                  A7
      Put your lovin' hand out baby

Dm           Bb/F
   (Beggin') Beggin' you

Em7-5                  A7
      Put your lovin' hand out baby

Dm             Bb/F
   Ridin' high      when I was king

Em7-5               A7
Played it hard and fast 'cause I had everything

Dm             Bb/F
   Walked away      want me then

Em7-5             A7
    But easy come and easy go and it would end

Dm           Bb/F
   (Beggin') I'm beggin' you

Em7-5                      A7
      Won't you give your hand out baby

Dm           Bb/F
   (Beggin') Beggin'

Em7-5                  A7
      Put your lovin' hand out baby

Dm7               G
    I need you to understand

       Em7-5            A
That I tried so hard to be a man

Dm7                            G
    The kind of man you'd want in the end

     Em7-5               A
Only then can I begin to live again

Dm                 Bb/F
    An empty shell      used to be

Em7              A7
    Shadow of my life is hangin' over me

Dm            Bb/F
   Broken man      without a goal

Em7                      A7
   Don't even stand the devil's chance to win my soul

Dm           Bb/F
   (Beggin') Beggin' you

Em7-5                      A7
      Won't you give your hand out baby

Dm           Bb/F
   (Beggin') Beggin you'

Em7-5                  A7
      Put your lovin' hand out baby

Dm7                    G
  I'm fightin' hard to hold my own

      Em7-5                 A
No, I just can't make it on all alone

Dm7                  G
   I'm holdin' on, I can't fall back

         Em7-5               A
Now that big brass ring is a shade of black
