G (320003@1)                  
Forgive me someone, for I have sinned
      Cadd9And (x32030@1)I know not where I should begin
     DSome (xx0232@1)days it feels like you just can't win
   Am (x02210@1)                   CNo (x32010@1)matter what you do or say.

GThings (320003@1)didn't kill me but I don't feel stronger
Cadd9 
Life is short but it feels much longer
       D (xx0232@1)You've lost that drive, you've lost that hunger
   Am (x02210@1)                       CTo (x32010@1)pull yourself through the day.

Chorus

G (320003@1)                           
But if ever I stray from the path I follow
CTake (x32010@1)me down to the English Channel
DThrow (xx0232@1)me in where the water is shallow
         Am (x02210@1)               CAnd (x32010@1)then drag me on back to shore!

G (320003@1)          
'Cos love is free and life is cheap
   C (x32010@1)As long as I've got me a place to sleep
DClothes (xx0232@1)on my back and some food to eat
  Am (x02210@1)                   CI (x32010@1)can't ask for anything more

DCome (xx0232@1)on everybody sing it 1, 2, 3, 4

G (320003@1)G (320003@1)                    
We've all got secrets that we hold inside
    Cadd9The (x32030@1)worst little things that we try and defy
     DThe (xx0232@1)worst one of all that you never can hide
               Am (x02210@1)                         CIs (x32010@1)that you're never quite as strong as you sound

G (320003@1)                    
So I'm sorry baby, for the times I've hurt you
Cadd9
Sorry friends, for the times I desert you
 DMost (xx0232@1)days it feels like I don't deserve you
   Am (x02210@1)                         CNo (x32010@1)wonder that you're all still around

Chorus

G (320003@1)                           
But if ever I stray from the path I follow
CTake (x32010@1)me down to the English Channel
DThrow (xx0232@1)me in where the water is shallow
         Am (x02210@1)               CAnd (x32010@1)then drag me on back to shore!

G (320003@1)          
'Cos love is free and life is cheap
   C (x32010@1)As long as I've got me a place to sleep
DClothes (xx0232@1)on my back and some food to eat
  Am (x02210@1)                   CI (x32010@1)can't ask for anything more

DCome (xx0232@1)on everybody sing it 1, 2, 3, 4

G (320003@1)DCome (xx0232@1)on and join me in the water

Swim for hope
                       G/CSometimes (2431xx@7)it's hard to remember
GI (320003@1)couldn't do this on my own

Chorus

G (320003@1)                           
But if ever I stray from the path I follow
CTake (x32010@1)me down to the English Channel
DThrow (xx0232@1)me in where the water is shallow
         Am (x02210@1)               CAnd (x32010@1)then drag me on back to shore!

DClothes (xx0232@1)on my back and some food to eat
  Am (x02210@1)                   CI (x32010@1)can't ask for anything more

DI (xx0232@1)can't ask for anything more

GThe (320003@1)path I chose isn't straight and narrow
Cadd9
It wanders 'round like a drunken fellow
     DSome (xx0232@1)days it's hard for me to follow
               Am (x02210@1)               CBut (x32010@1)if you've got my back I'll go on.
   D (xx0232@1)                          GIf (320003@1)you've got my back I'll go on.
