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
