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/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 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.
