[Verse]
   G   D  G
Oh oh, my soul
             C                  D
Sometimes we don't know what to do
           C                       Em
We work so hard being tough on our own
             G      C
But now it's me and you

[Verse]
              G   D   G
Let's give it up, sad bones
              C            D
'Cause we all fall on hard times
                      C             Em
But you don't have to stand up all alone
              G       C
Just put your hand in mine

[Chorus]
          D    Em             D   Am
And climb on___ a back that's strong__
                  D            G
Hey, hey, you can get what you want
      Am   G           C   Am
Climb on a back that's strong__

[Verse]
                 G       D G
And if you could save me a place in heaven
       C                   D
With a clean, well-lighted room
            C         Em
I'll muscle up to Armageddon
                      G                     C
And I'll wave to you, darlin', I'll be home soon

[Verse]
                 G                 D  G
And if you could show me the story of love
        C                   D
I would write it again and again
                   C                Em
And then you could be the woman you need
                   G            C
If you just let me be the man I am, hey

[Chorus]
      D    Em             D   Am
Climb on___ a back that's strong__
                  D            G
Hey, hey, you can get what you want
      Am   G           C   Am
Climb on a back that's strong__

[Instrumental]
F    G    C    F    G

[Verse]
   G     D     G
Oh oh, I don't know
             C               D
Sometimes we try too hard to see
               C                        Em
But we got one down now and one more to go
                G      C
That's when you say to me, hey

[Chorus]
      D    Em             D   Am
Climb on___ a back that's strong__
                  D            G
Hey, hey, you can get what you want
      Am   G           C   Am
Climb on a back that's strong__

[Chorus]
      D    Em             D   Am
Climb on___ a back that's strong__
                  D            G
Hey, hey, you can get what you want
         Am   G           C   Am
So climb on a back that's strong, oh yeah

[Chorus]
      D    Em             D   Am
Climb on___ a back that's strong__
                  D            G
Hey, hey, you can get what you want
      Am   G           C   Am
Climb on a back that's strong__

[Chorus]
      D    Em   D   Am
Climb on___, oh yeah
        D            G
You can get what you want
      Am   G           C   Am        D
Climb on a back that's strong, whoa, yeah
