Verse
C 
I've seen a lot of good men 
                                 Am 
Dragged by their hair down into hell 
                                       G 
So I can't give you my hand, darling 
           E7               Am 
I'm not slipping down that well

You lost your mother, I know

And you lost your father too

You lost everyone you loved

And everyone who loved you

I've heard all of your stories

But I can't give you my hand, darling

I'm not slipping down that well

Verse
 Am                  G 
So here is my advice 
                Am 
Before I ride away 
                          G 
Everybody has their price 
                          Am 
What are you prepared to pay? 
 
Verse
C 
Would you let go of your anger? 
                                    Am 
Would a million dollars break the spell? 
                             G 
Then use your own hands darling 
          E                  Am 
And start climbing out that well 
                              G 
Then use your own hands darling 
              E              Am 
And start climbing out that well
