[Verse 1]
G Cm
Who says the words
Bm Bm7 C
That keep you awake
G Cm Cm7
Who comes to stay
Bm Bm7 C
And gets sent away

Maybe there is someone

Maybe there is not

You pay your rent
D C B7
You work, you wash, so what
Dm7 F E
I forgot your address
Em Em7 Am7 C/D
I may forget your name
[Chorus 1]
C Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Bb7
I still own the begging bowl
C Cmaj7 F Dm7-5
Bottom of the honour roll
C Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Bb7
To take your moods and not complain
C Cmaj7 F Dm7-5
And beg to serve you all my days
[Verse 3]
G Cm
Chained to the place
Bm Bm7 C
Where we guileless lay
G Cm
Chained by your rage
Bm Bm7 C
Chained on to me
G G7 G G7 F E7
You sent a--way the beggar
G G7 G G7 F6
And you still taste de-feat
[Verse 4]
G C
You lie awake
D C B7
Between our sheets
Dm7 F E7
Who will stop the ceiling
Em Em7 Am7 C/D
Closing in on you?
[Chorus 1]
C Cmaj7 F Bb7
I still own the begging bowl
C Cmaj7 F Bb7
Bottom of the honour roll
C Cmaj7 F Bb7
To take your moods and not complain
C Cmaj7 F Bb7
And beg to serve you all my days

Back to serve you like before

To take your moods and not complain

And beg to serve you all my days
[Outro]
C Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Bb7
Now I can breathe again

Now I can breathe again
C Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Bb7
Now I can breathe again
Fmaj7 Bb7 Cmaj7
Take me back, take me back
