[Verse 1]
Am7
Mmh, I was half in mind - I was half in need
Am7 | Gmaj7 | % |
And as the rain came down - I dropped to my knees and I prayed
Am7
I said "Oh, Heavenly thing - please cleanse my soul
Am7 | Gmaj7 | % | % | % |
I've seen all on offer and I'm not impressed at all"
Am7
Mmh I was halfway home - I was half insane
Am7 | Gmaj7 | % |
And every shop window I looked in just looked the same
Am7
I said send me a sign to save my life
Am7
'Cause at this moment in time
| Gmaj7 | % | % | % |
There is nothing certain in these days of mine
[Bridge]
Cmaj7
Y'see it's a frightening thing when it dawns upon you
Dsus4
That I know as much as the day I was born
Cmaj7
And though I wasn't asked (I might as well stay)
Dsus4
And promise myself each and every day - that -
[Verse 2]
Am7
When you're knocked on your back - an' your life's a flop
Am7
And when you're down on the bottom there's nothing else
Gmaj7
But to shout to the top
[Chorus]
Am7
Well, we're gonna shout to the top
Am7
We're gonna shout to the top
Gmaj7
Mmh mh mh, we're gonna shout to the top
Gmaj7
Yeah, we're gonna shout to the top
[Bridge]
Cmaj7
Y'see it's a frightening thing when it dawns upon you
Dsus4
That I know as much as the day I was born
Cmaj7
And though I wasn't asked I might as well stay
Dsus4
And promise myself each and every day that ...
[Chorus] (breaks]

So when you're knocked on your back - an' your life's a flop

Gmaj7
Mmh mh mh, we're gonna shout to the top - shout!
