Do what you do what you say what you feel..

          Bb            F
Sometimes life can be a burden
      Bb            F
Tryna stay one step ahead 
           Bb            F
I feel the world upon my shoulder each time
     C                 G
I'm standing out on the edge

       Bb            F
And my hopes have all deserted me
           Bb               F
Like they washed away in the sand
        Bb                   F
And it's hurting my pride Tryna survive 
      C               G
But i know i stand a chance

                 Bb            F
When you lay your hands
Bb    F

              Dm            C                      G
'Coz it's the only thing I have that still makes sense 


                   Bb

Keep telling me, show me the way.
                       Bb
(Oh, if you see me falling down)
     F
Lift me up from the shadows
         C                    G
Will you take me away to a better place?
                   Bb
(And when I'm in my darkest hour)
        F                      Bb
You're by my side, to turn the tide,
                    F
Until the suffering fades.
             Dm
When life is getting me down,
C                             Bb
getting me down, i'm close to defeat,
                        (Bb - F)X2
Come and lay ur hands on me.

(same chords)
Feel this road is getting longer now 
And i'm too far away from home 
Still I gotta keep on moving on 
But I can't do it on my own 
Baby keep my head above water 
Help me swim for my life
'Coz the game is getting harder 
The strain is gettin stronger 
And I can only face the fight 

When you lay your hands 
Oh yeah
'Coz it's the only thing I have that still makes sense

(Oh baby, when I'm calling out) 
Give me love and affection,
Keep telling me, show me the way.
(Oh, if you see me falling down)
Lift me up from the shadows
Will you take me away to a better place?
(And when I'm in my darkest hour)
You're by my side, to turn the tide,
Until the suffering fades.
When life is getting me down,
getting me down, i'm close to defeat,
Come and lay ur hands on me..

          Bb
'Til I'm healed again,
Dm
Rediscovered my strengths,
Bb                    C
Those bitter blues are gone...
     Bb      F   (Bb - F) x3  C - G
Oh, gone...

(same chords)
(Oh baby, when I'm calling out) 
Give me love and affection,
Keep telling me, show me the way.
(Oh, if you see me falling down)
Lift me up from the shadows
Will you take me away to a better place?
(And when I'm in my darkest hour)
You're by my side, to turn the tide,
Until the suffering fades.
When life is getting me down,
getting me down, i'm close to defeat,
Come and lay ur hands on me.
