[Verse 1]
          Cmaj7                      D        Dsus    D
So I'd said to you I'm not free
          Cmaj7                                  D    Dsus  D
I got a mountain falling down on me
         Cmaj7                         D        Dsus   D
I got sickness and I've got doubt
           Cmaj7                                  D       Dsus  D
All the people wanna scream and shout
           Am7                                Bm7
I'm so tired, I'm always on my knee
             Am7                           Bm7
And I'm cold, it's always January
            G                               D/F#
In this house and on these streets
           Cm7              G
It's so grey, I can't take it
                          D
What happened to the life I knew
            Am                                 G   D/F#
Swept away (where did you go)

[Verse 2]
       Cmaj7                 D         Dsus  D
So I said to you I'm busy
             Cmaj7                                          D      Dsus    D
I've got jobs to do that would make you dizzy
              Cmaj7                 D       Dsus  D
And I'm juggling all my plates
          Cmaj7                 D
Living far below my estimate
                  Am7                                Bm7
People are hard for me I'm always failing
          Am7                              Bm7
In my family life, I'm always trailing
               G                                      D/F#
Come to me you said, leave your home
                 Cm7                   G
They can't kill you in my hands

[Chorus 1]
                  D
But if they try, don't take fright
                             C
If they're shooting at you kid
                      D
You must be doing something
Am      G        D/F#   C/E    D       Am
Right, right, right, right, right, right
Am        G           D/F#    C/E        D         Am
Ooohh, ooohh, ooohh, ooohh, ooohh, ooohh ... ooohh

        Cmaj7                       D
All I want is for a bit of peace
                     Cmaj7                     D
A nice warm house and for my family
                   Cmaj7                                D
To take me back because you know I miss them (know I miss)
              Cmaj7                                      D
Miss my boys, I miss their mother, I'll kiss them (mother I'll kiss)
       Am7                                     Bm7
But instead, I'm running out of time
           Am7                          Bm7
Out of air, I fear I must be dying
               G                                     D/F#
Come to me, you said leave your pain
                 Cm7            G
They can't kill you in my head
                   D
You're my son, you're my love
                             C                              D
Gonna catch you gently now, you are with me
              Am             G        D
Got you now (now, now, now)
              Am             G        D
Got you now (now, now, now)
               Am              G        D
I got you now (now, now, now)
               Am              G        D
I got you now (now, now, now)
                Am
I got you now
