G5                    
Forgive me someone, for I have sinned
      C5
And I know not where I should begin
     D5
Some days it feels like you just can't win
   A5                     C5
No matter what you do or say.

G5
Things didn't kill me but I don't feel stronger
C5 
Life is short but it feels much longer
       D5 
You've lost that drive, you've lost that hunger
   A5                         C5
To pull yourself through the day.

Chorus

      G5                             
But if ever I stray from the path I follow
C5
Take me down to the English Channel
D5
Throw me in where the water is shallow
         A5                 C5
And then drag me on back to shore! 

     G5            
'Cos love is free and life is cheap
   C5 
As long as I've got me a place to sleep
D5
Clothes on my back and some food to eat
  A5                     C5
I can't ask for anything more

D5
Come on everybody sing it 1, 2, 3, 4

G5

G5                      
We've all got secrets that we hold inside
    C5
The worst little things that we try and defy
     D5
The worst one of all that you never can hide
               A5                           C5
Is that you're never quite as strong as you sound

G5                      
So I'm sorry baby, for the times I've hurt you
C5
Sorry friends, for the times I desert you
 D5
Most days it feels like I don't deserve you
   A5                           C5
No wonder that you're all still around


Chorus

      G5                             
But if ever I stray from the path I follow
C5
Take me down to the English Channel
D5
Throw me in where the water is shallow
         A5                 C5
And then drag me on back to shore! 

     G5            
'Cos love is free and life is cheap
   C5 
As long as I've got me a place to sleep
D5
Clothes on my back and some food to eat
  A5                     C5
I can't ask for anything more


D5
Come on everybody sing it 1, 2, 3, 4

G5


                           D5
Come on and join me in the water

Swim for hope
                       G5
Sometimes it's hard to remember
G5
I couldn't do this on my own


Chorus

      G5                             
But if ever I stray from the path I follow
C5
Take me down to the English Channel
D5
Throw me in where the water is shallow
         A5                 C5
And then drag me on back to shore! 

     G5            
'Cos love is free and life is cheap
   C5 
As long as I've got me a place to sleep
D5
Clothes on my back and some food to eat
  A5                     C5
I can't ask for anything more

D5
I can't ask for anything more

G5
The path I chose isn't straight and narrow
C5
It wanders 'round like a drunken fellow
     D5
Some days it's hard for me to follow
               A5                 C5
But if you've got my back I'll go on.
   D5                            G5
If you've got my back I'll go on.
