So I say… (F#)Oh,

my friend

you’re (B)hold ing out your (F#)hand.

I (B)take it like an oar (C#)from the depths.

(F#)Hey,

life (F#)sav er, I’m (B)drown ing in des (F#)pair.

But you’re (B)fight ing for me (F#)right un (C#)til the end.

You’ve pulled me back to land.

and saved me once a gain.

You helped me wash a way

the sane mis takes I’ve made.

(F#)And I see it in your face.

My on ly source of grace.

No, don’t (F#)take

So I say… (F#)Oh,

But you’re (B)fight ing for me (F#)right un (C#)til the end.

You’ve pulled me back to land.
