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
