[Verse 1]
   C
Oh mama
          F              C
Won't you help me up the rope
         F            Am
I took a C-Note in my coat
        F             C    G
So much less than I'm old

[Verse 2]
         C
Please believe me
        F                C
I don't mean to make you mad
           F             Am
And in the end it's only money
         F               C    G
It won't set you back so bad

[Verse 3]
          C
Plus they tell me
             F           C
That I'll be hired on by spring
             F                 Am
I've already hocked off all my clothing
         F                C     G
With you mother's diamond ring

[Verse 4]
             C
If you'll forgive me
        F              C
Oh I'll get it back so soon
          F                  Am
Just need somewhere safe and warm
          F             C     G
Can't you spot me for a room

[Chorus]
        Am       C    F
Another day goes by I guess
            Am      C        F
And I can't tell it from the last
                  Am               C       F
And maybe if I'll keep myself from looking back
     F                     G
I'll see my ship coming on in

[Verse 5]
   C
Oh god
          F               C
Won't you send me someone kind
          F              Am
Who don't rough me up or lie
         F               C     G
Leave me better off this time

[Verse 6]
        C
Someone gentle
          F               C
Who don't pound on all my scars
          F                Am
Who don't beat my battered heart
          F            C    G
I Do that plenty on my own

[Chorus]
     Am     C         F
It's always two steps back
      Am    C       F
And another off the track
                  Am        C      F
And can I get the chance to take a crack
F               G
Breathing on my own

[Bridge]
          F                                           C
There's a light that shines prettier than I have ever seen
          F                                                  C
From them golden fields and amber hills that haunt me in the wake
        G
From my dreams
           F
And I feel calmness
             Am
Washing over me
                  G
And I don't wanna break
                  F
And I don't wanna break
                  C
And I don't wanna break

[Verse 7]
           C
And I'm so tired
           F                 C
Just wanna sleep off all the hurt
              F             Am
I've sold the corners of my body
         F             C      G
With the lessen myself worth

[Verse 8]
             C
If you'll forgive me
        F               C
Oh I'll get you back so soon
               F                  Am
I'll just need somewhere safe and quiet
             F                 C     G
It's way too loud here in this room

[Chorus]
        Am       C    F
Another day goes by I guess
            Am      C        F
And I can't tell it from the last
                  Am               C       F
And maybe if I'll keep myself from looking back
     F                     G
I'll see my ship coming on in

There's a light that shines prettier than I have ever seen
          F                                                  C
From them golden fields and amber hills that haunt me in the wake
        G
From my dreams
           F
And I feel calmness
             Am
Washing over me
                  G
And I don't wanna break
                  F
And I don't wanna break
                  C
And I don't wanna break
