If Ever I Stray Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
For[G]give me, someone, for I have sinned
And I [C]know not where I should begin
And [D]some days it feels like you just can't win
No [Am]mat ter what you do or [C]say
[G]Things didn't kill me but I don't feel stronger
[C]Life is short but it feels much longer
When you've [D]lost that fight, yeah,
you've lost that hunger
To [Am]pull yourself through the [C]day

[Chorus 1]
But if [G]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
And then [Am]drag me on back to [C]shore
'Cause [G]love is free and life is cheap
And as [C]long as I've got me a place to sleep
Some [D]clothes on my back
and some food to eat
Then I [Am]can't ask for anything [C]more
So [D]come on everybody sing it
one, two, three, four
[G][G][G][G]

[Verse 2]
So we [G]all have secrets that we hold inside
Yeah, the [C]worst little things
that you never confide
And the [D]worst one of all
that you just can't hide
Is that you're [Am]never quite as strong
as you [C]sound
So I'm [G]sorry baby, for the times I've hurt you
[C]Sorry friends, for the times I desert you
[D]Most days it feels like I don't deserve you
And I [Am]wonder that you're all still [C]around

[Chorus 2]
So if [G]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
And then [Am]drag me on back to [C]shore
'Cause [G]love is free and life is cheap
And as [C]long as I've got me a place to sleep
Some [D]clothes on my back
and some food to eat
Then I [Am]can't ask for anything [C]more
So [D]come on everybody sing it

[Bridge 1]
one, two, three, four
[G][G][G]
[G]Come on and join me in the wat[D]er
We'll swim for hope
Sometimes it's hard to re[C]member
I couldn't do this on [C]my [D]own[C][D]

[Chorus 3]
So if ever I stray from the path I follow
Take me down to the English Channel
Throw me in where the water is shallow
And then [Am]drag me on [G]back to [C]shore
'Cause [G]love is free and life is cheap
And as [C]long as I've got me a place to sleep
[D]Clothes on my back
and some food to eat
Then I [Am]can't ask for [G]anything [C]more
I [Am]can't ask for [G]anything [C]more
[Am][G][C][D]

[Outro 1]
The [G]path I chose isn't straight and narrow
It [C]wanders 'round like a drunken fellow
[D]Some days it's hard for me to follow
But if [Am]you've got my back I'll go [C]on
If [D]you've got my back I'll go [G]on
