Broke down car in my front drive

Burn a spoon, butane light

Wastin' away for another night

I'd certainly loved to be a better man

Tore me up, now here I stand
G D G
Trying to be all that I can
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G
Yeah, I'm reaching for your hand
Cadd9 G
Now I'm giving all I got
Cadd9 G Em7 D
I'm giving you my word though my words don't mean a lot

When the devil takes my hand

So Lord, won't you have some mercy on a broken man

G Cadd9 G
Walk to the edge and like to see the ground
G Cadd9 G
Thirty-eight stories, a long way down

Tents blow by, I hear a thunderin' sound
G D G
I am lost and won't be found
[Chorus]

Yeah, I'm reaching for your hand
Cadd9 G
And I'm giving all I got
Cadd9 G Em7 D
I'm giving you my word though my words don't mean a lot

You know I can't refuse him

When the devil takes my hand

So Lord, won't you have some mercy on a broken man
