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


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


                           D
Come on and join me in the water

Swim for hope
                       G  
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


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.
