E               E 
I've been high, I've been down			 
               A                       E 
my head in the clouds, my hands in the ground	 
                 E                    E 
in the arms of a woman, I find my way home	 
                  A                   E 
in the arms of a woman, I have been lost	 
 
Chorus: 
             G               D                A 
when I'm so lost that this losing feels like dying 
                           E                 E 
I hope you'll be by me then 
	     G              D                 A 
when I'm so lost that this losing feels like dying 
			   E                 E 
I hope you'll be by me then 
 
	E(hold)        E 
as a young man, I was afraid 
	A                 E 
of my life, what would I make? 
             E			E 
I will make love, what will I hate? 
                A		E 
what bittersweet road will I choose to the grave? 
 
CHORUS 
           G             D              A 
if I'm so old 'til this oldness has me dying 
                           E             E 
I hope you'll be by me then 
           G            D              A 
if I'm so old 'til this oldness has me dying

I hope you'll be by me then 
 
             E(hold)          E 
I'm sick of you, I'm sick of me 
             A                E 
I'm sick of war, I'm sick of peace 
	     E			     E 
I'm sick of sound like I'm sick of silence 
                    A                             E 
I grow sick of the darkness 'til I'm sick of the light 
 
CHORUS 
             G              D               A 
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 
                           E 
I hope you'll be by me then

          E(hold)          E 
once as a boy, I saw what happened 
            A                    E 
I saw them beat him down to the cold, cold ground 
                 E                  E 
I watched those big boys beat that man down 
 	   A                 E 
I was too weak, too weak to take a stand 
 
CHORUS: 
             G               D                 A 
when I'm so weak that this weakness feels like dying 
                           E                   E 
I hope you'll be by me then 
            G               D                   A 
when I'm so weak that this weakness feels like dying 
                           E                   E 
I hope you'll be by me then 
            G             D                   A 
and if I'm old 'til this oldness feels has me dying 
                           E                   E 
I hope you'll be by me then 
 
          E(hold)        E(hold) 
so I will live as I see fit 
                   A(hold)                 E(hold) 
and there will be those who will not like it 
                  E(hold)           E(hold) 
in the arms of a woman, I found my way home 
                      A(hold)     E(hold) 
so to the arms of a woman, I will always go 
 
        G(hold)       D(hold)        A(hold) 
if I'm old 'til this oldness has me dying 
                           E(hold)       E(hold) 
I hope she'll be by me then 
        G(hold)       D(hold)        A(hold) 
if I'm old 'til this oldness has me dying
