Verse 1 G Haul me up please help me I'm drowning DG Haul me up to where I can breathe C Haul me up where the air is sweeter GDG Stretch out a hand a hand brother please
Verse 2 G Well I'm walking in a sea of molasses DG Every step I take it sucks me down C The more I fight the more it grips me GDG If I sink much further I'm looking to drown
Chorus 1 CG Haul me up I'm lost in confusion CG Haul me up I'm up to my knees CG Haul me up I'm stuck in the quicksand DG Stretch out a hand a hand brother please haul me up
Repeat Verse 1
Verse 3 G Here comes Jezebel sweet as the morning DG Holds out a cup and I'm tempted to drink C Six thousand voices ringing in the rafters GDG How can I dream when I can't even think
Chorus 2 CG Haul me up the banshees are wailing CG Haul me up the sirens are singing CG Haul me up the furies are screaming DG Stretch out a hand a hand brother please haul me up
Repeat Verse 1
Verse 4 G I'm fighting but oh the disease has got me DG But what is this sickness that has no name C Who are these friends that kill me with kindness GDG I don't know the rules but I'm trapped in the game
Repeat Chorus 1
Repeat Chorus 2
