Standard (EADGBE)

I've been high, I've been down LINE 1

my head in the clouds, my hands in the ground LINE 2

in the arms of a woman, I find my way home LINE 3

in the arms of a woman, I have been lost LINE 4

Chorus

when I'm so lost that this losing feels like dying

I hope you'll be by me then

when I'm so lost that this losing feels like dying

I hope you'll be by me then

as a young man, I was afraid

of my life, what would I make?

I will make love, what will I hate?

what bittersweet road will I choose to the grave?

Chorus

if I'm so old 'til this oldness has me dying

I hope you'll be by me then

if I'm so old 'til this oldness has me dying

I hope you'll be by me then

I'm sick of you, I'm sick of me

I'm sick of war, I'm sick of peace

I'm sick of sound like I'm sick of silence

I grow sick of the darkness 'til I'm sick of the light

Chorus

when I'm so sick that this sickness has me dying

I hope you'll be by me then

when I'm so sick that this sickness has me dying

I hope you'll be by me then

I hope you'll be by me then

Bridge

once as a boy, I saw what happened

I saw them beat him down to the cold, cold ground

I watched those big boys beat that man down

I was too weak, too weak to take a stand

Chorus

when I'm so weak that this weakness feels like dying

I hope you'll be by me then

when I'm so weak that this weakness feels like dying

I hope you'll be by me then

and if I'm old 'til this oldness feels has me dying

I hope you'll be by me then

so I will live as I see fit

and there will be those who will not like it

in the arms of a woman, I found my way home

so to the arms of a woman, I will always go

if I'm old 'til this oldness has me dying

I hope she'll be by me then

if I'm old 'til this oldness has me dying
