[Intro]
F C G Am
[Verse 1]
F C Am
he stumbled backwards through the door
F C Am
he smelled of gin and cold cold smoke
F C Am
his wife and kids feared nothing more
F C Am
this night his ship has left the shore
[Chorus]
F C G
no one else could feel his pain
Am
he lost the game once more again
F C Am
the tide is coming in
[Verse 2]
F C Am
sweat ran down his furrowed face
F C Am
he shivered like an earthquake
F C Am
once he was full of grace
F C Am
but the benjamins took his faith
[Chorus]
F C G
no one else could feel his pain
Am
he lost the game once more again
F C Am
the tide is coming in
F C G
he left his home as a man
Am
now he needs a helping hand
F C Am
come back home like a man
[Bridge]
G Am
he didn't know how this could happen
G Am
he didn't know a way out
G Am
so he left them with a weapon
G Am
and birds rose up through the clouds
[Chorus]
F C G
no one else could feel his pain
Am
he lost the game once more again
F C Am
the tide is coming in
F C G
he left his home as a man
Am
now he needs a helping hand
F C Am
come back home like a man
[Outro]
F C G
he left his home as a man
Am
now he needs a helping hand
F C Am
come back home like a man
