C             G     F
If I got down on my knees
C                     G            C
Could you find mercy, would I find peace
C             G     F
If I crawled down to the sea
C                 G        C
Would you wash me, wash me clean

[Chorus]
C                  G         Am
Some will give and some will take
C                  G     F
Give me years that I won't break
C                G    Am
And water for my past mistakes
C                  G     F
Give me years that I won't break

C                  G     F
Give me years that I won't break

[Verse 2]
C                      G     F
A touch too strong for gentle lips
C                     G        C
A heart crushed under fingertips
C                         G        F
They say what you reap is what you sow
C                      G     C
And to fight to win is all I know

[Chorus]
C                  G         Am
Some will give and some will take
C                  G     F
Give me years that I won't break
C                G    Am
And water for my past mistakes
C                  G     F
Give me years that I won't break
C                  G     F
Give me years that I won't break

[Instrumental]
F G Am x4

[Bridge]
F                   Am
There's no one less deserving
             G              F
And I've got no goodness to trade
Am                     G       F
But give me years that I won't break
Am                     G       F
But give me years that I won't break
Am                     G       F
But give me years that I won't break

[Chorus]
C                  G         Am
Some will give and some will take
C                  G     F
Give me years that I won't break
C                G    Am
And water for my past mistakes
C                  G     F
Give me years that I won't break

C                  G         Am
Some will give and some will take
C                  G     F
Give me years that I won't break
C                G    Am
And water for my past mistakes
C                  G     F
Give me years that I won't break

C                  G     F
Give me years that I won't break
C                  G     F
Give me years that I won't break

[Outro]
F G Am x2

C             G     F
If I got down on my knees
C                     G            C
Could you find mercy, would I find peace
C             G     F
If I crawled down to the sea
C                 G        C
Would you wash me, wash me clean
