If Ever I Stray(Chords)

	        

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. 


      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                       
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 



      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 

 


                           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 


      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.
