Believing me 
       G           D 
You'd think I was lying

Joy and sorrow never last 
 C        G             D           G 
I'll die trying not to live in the past 

        D       G 
If you knew my story

My heaven and my hell

   G       G               C          G 
I left my clothes on that cold river rock  
    C            G          G         D 
My cares and my woes rolled up in my socks 
G      G            C        G 
I lay down in that mountain stream 
         C  G      D          G 
And the icy water rushed over me

Tell  me I'm not alone 

      G          G           C               G 
Many backs have broken from lesser weight I know 
C              G    G                D 
I was born to carry more than I can hold 
      G        G        C             G 
Even though I stumble, even though I fall 
        C           G 
You'll never see me tumble 
        D            G 
You'll never see me crawl

Me crawl
