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
