[Verse]

G
Forgive me someone, for I have sinned
      Cadd9
And I know not where I should begin
     D
Some days it feels like you just can't win
   Am                     C
No matter what you do or say.

G
Things didn't kill me but I don't feel stronger
Cadd9
Life is short but it feels much longer
       D
You've lost that drive, you've lost that hunger
   Am                         C
To pull yourself through the day.


[Chorus]

      G
But if ever I stray from the path I follow
C
Take me down to the English Channel
D
Throw me in where the water is shallow
         Am                 C
And then drag me on back to shore!

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

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

G


[Verse]

G
We've all got secrets that we hold inside
    Cadd9
The worst little things that we try and defy
     D
The worst one of all that you never can hide
               Am                           C
Is that you're never quite as strong as you sound

G
So I'm sorry baby, for the times I've hurt you
Cadd9
Sorry friends, for the times I desert you
 D
Most days it feels like I don't deserve you
   Am                           C
No wonder that you're all still around


[Chorus]

      G
But if ever I stray from the path I follow
C
Take me down to the English Channel
D
Throw me in where the water is shallow
         Am                 C
And then drag me on back to shore!

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

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

G


[Bridge]

                           D
Come on and join me in the water

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


[Chorus]

      G
But if ever I stray from the path I follow
C
Take me down to the English Channel
D
Throw me in where the water is shallow
         Am                 C
And then drag me on back to shore!

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

D
I can't ask for anything more


[Outro]

G
The path I chose isn't straight and narrow
Cadd9
It wanders 'round like a drunken fellow
     D
Some days it's hard for me to follow
               Am                 C
But if you've got my back I'll go on.
   D                            G
If you've got my back I'll go on.
