[Verse]
B F# C# F# B F# C# F#
I saw a man lying in the street, asking for a helping hand
B F# C# F# B F# C# F#
He said "Anyone got any sympathy, for a drunken man?"
B F# C# F#
But all the people here just walked on through
B F# C# F#
And he said "Ain't nobody ever understands."
B F# C# D#m
"Just maybe if ya'll were in my shoes,
F# B C# F#
then you'd see why I am the way I am"
D#m C#
Someone helped him to his feet
B F# C# G#m C#
I heard him say, desperately....
[Chorus]
F# B G#M C# F# B G#M
CARRY ME, CARRY ME, CUZ I CAN'T MAKE IT ON MY OWN
F# B G#M G#m F# B F# C#
CARRY ME, CARRY ME BACK HOME
B F# C# F# B F# C# F#
I heard about a gambling man who lost his house in a poker game
B F# C# D#m
And he said "One day I'm gonna find myself a winning hand
B F# C# F# C# F#
and we'll start living all over again"
B F# C# F# B F#
So he took a little trip to a Vegas hotel to try his luck
C# D#m
on a roulette wheel
B F# C# D#m
That day his touch was about as cold as hell,
F# B C# F#
he lost everything he owned in a gambling deal
D#m C# B
That night his wife picked up the phone to hear
F# G#m C#
a desperate boy say
[Chorus]
F# B G#M C# F# B G#M
CARRY ME, CARRY ME, CUZ I CAN'T MAKE IT ON MY OWN
F# B G#M G#m F# B F# C#
CARRY ME, CARRY ME BACK HOME
F# B C# F# B G#m C# F# B F# C# D#m
F# B C# B
Well I know it's hard to comprehend
B
But when you feel you can't go on
G#m
It's never the end.....
C# B G#m
Sometimes you just need a friend
B F# C# F#
I knew somebody who lost his way
B F# C# F#
Got himself a loaded gun
B F# C#
They found him lying at the light of day
B F# C# F#
Now it's too late to undo what's already done
D#m C#
But maybe if we'd listened so close,
B F# G#m C#
how many times we hear him say.....
[Chorus]
F# B G#M C# F# B G#M
CARRY ME, CARRY ME, CUZ I CAN'T MAKE IT ON MY OWN
F# B G#M G#m F# B F# C#
CARRY ME, CARRY ME BACK HOME
