Chorus 1:

	Dm>           Bb/F
   (Beggin') Beggin'...
	Em7/5->                  A7
      Put your lovin' hand out baby
	Dm>           Bb/F
   (Beggin') Beggin' you
	Em7/5->                  A7
      Put your lovin' hand out baby

Verse 1:

	Dm>             Bb/F
   Ridin' high      when I was king
	Em7/5->               A7
Played it hard and fast 'cause I had everything
	Dm>             Bb/F
   Walked away      want me then
	Em7/5->              A7
But easy come and easy go and it would end

Chorus 2:

(Beggin') I'm beggin you
Won't you give you hand out baby
(Beggin') Beggin'...
Put your lovin' hand out baby

Bridge 1:

	Dm7>                 G
    I need you to understand
	       Em7/5-            A
That I tried so hard to be a man
	Dm7>                        G
The kind of man you'd want in the end
	Em7/5->                     A
Only then can I begin to live again

Verse 2:

An empty shell   used to be
Shadow of my life is hangin' over me
Broken man   without a goal
Don't even stand the devil's chance to win my soul

Chorus 3:

(Beggin') Beggin' you
Won't you give your hand out baby
(Beggin') Beggin' you
Put your lovin' hand out baby

Bridge 2:

I'm fightin' hard to hold my own
No, I just can't make it on all alone
I'm holdin' on   I can't fall back
Now that big brass ring is a shade of black
