MMMMMMMMM   MMMMMMMMM

       F                  Dm      F
Took a cab to the city to clear my mind
          F                                   Dm   Bb
I drank my way through the streets and in the Sailortown
  Bb                              Dm          C
I took so much stuff I thought I'd never come down
        F                        Dm        Bb
Made me feel much better than I'd felt for awhile

        F                            Dm      F
I found girls that helped me up from falling down
        F                             Dm       Bb
I never once gave my heart out, never let them inside
                        F           Dm      C
There was just too many ghosts, and too much crime
   F                          Dm     Bb
My heart wasn't fit to be the loving type

     Bb              Gm       C
With dreams of better days in mind
  F                                 Dm     Bb
O Lord, won't you see me through to better times
    Bb                 Dm   C
And if I don't make it out alive
       F                     Dm      Bb
Put my name on a chair right by your side

F    Dm Bb   F     C Bb
MMMMMMMMMM   MMMMMMMMMM

         F                       Dm     F
I took a job there singing almost every night
             F           Dm          Bb
Entertaining hearts more broken than mine
Bb            Dm       C
Waiting for a light to shine
        F                  Dm    Bb
To lead me right out of my dark decline

     Bb               Gm      C
With dreams of better days in mind
  F                                 Dm     Bb
O Lord, won't you see me through to better times
    Bm                 Dm  C
And if I don't make it out alive
       F                     Dm      Bb
Put my name on a chair right by your side

F    Dm Bb   F     C Bb
MMMMMMMMMM   MMMMMMMMMM

       F                  Dm       F
Took a cab to the city to clear my mind
        F                      C      Bb
I ended up with a mind needing exorcised


     Bb               Gm      C
With dreams of better days in mind
  F                                 Dm     Bb
O Lord, won't you see me through to better times
    Bb                 Dm  C
And if I don't make it out alive
       F                     Dm      Bb
Put my name on a chair right by your side

    Bb                 Dm  C
And if I don't make it out alive
       F                     Dm      Bb
Put my name on a chair right by your side

F   Dm Bb*         
MMMMMMMMM
