G                            Em
Picking up the pieces of my hearts abandon mine
    C      G   D
Ay-a-oh, Ay-a-oh
   G                          Em
Binding up the wounds of the ones we Left behind
   C      G   D
Ay-a-oh, Ay-a-oh
   G                          Em
I cry o mercy father but you see in me a friend
    C      G   D
Ay-A-Oh, Ay-a-oh
  G                        Em
You see in me a treasure, even though I’ve never been
     C    G   D
Ay-A-Oh, Ay-a-oh


[Chorus]
 G      Em       C      G   D G
Oh, Ay-a-oh, Ay-a-oh, Ay-a-oh
 G      Em       C      G   D G
Oh, Ay-a-oh, Ay-a-oh, Ay-a-oh

[Verse]
  G                                   Em
What did I do to deserve this, I’m a robber and

a thief
     C      G D
Ay-A-Oh, Ay-A-Oh
 G                         Em
Spit at you my hatred, you don’t abandon me
     C      G D
Ay-A-Oh, Ah-A-Oh
 G                                 Em
You call me out for greatness, In weak I’m frail and blind
     C     G D
Ay-A-Oh, Ay-A-Oh
     G                        Em
Half way through this life, I’m still at the starting line
     C      G D
Ay-A-Oh, Ay-A-Oh


[Chorus]
 G      Em       C      G   D G
Oh, Ay-a-oh, Ay-a-oh, Ay-a-oh


Let Each Chord Ring
  G
Too Much For Total Freedom,
  Em
Too Poor To have A Say,
     C
To Young To Put These Boots On,
     G              D  G
too Old And Just Too Late,
     G
But You Breathe In Me A Freedom,
  Em
Looking Passed My Lonely State,
  C
 The Outcast Finds A Family
      G          D    G
By Choice And Not By Fate, Hey!


[Chorus] until fade out
 G      Em       C      G   D G
Oh, Ay-a-oh, Ay-a-oh, Ay-a-oh
 G      Em       C      G   D G
Oh, Ay-a-oh, Ay-a-oh, Ay-a-oh
