[Verse]

B F# C# F# B F# C# F#

I saw a man lying in the street, asking for a helping hand

B F# C# F# B F# C# F#

He said "Anyone got any sympathy, for a drunken man?"

B F# C# F#

But all the people here just walked on through

B F# C# F#

And he said "Ain't nobody ever understands."

B F# C# D#m

"Just maybe if ya'll were in my shoes,

F# B C# F#

then you'd see why I am the way I am"

D#m C#

Someone helped him to his feet

B F# C# G#m C#

I heard him say, desperately....

[Chorus]

F# B G#M C# F# B G#M

CARRY ME, CARRY ME, CUZ I CAN'T MAKE IT ON MY OWN

F# B G#M G#m F# B F# C#

CARRY ME, CARRY ME BACK HOME

B F# C# F# B F# C# F#

I heard about a gambling man who lost his house in a poker game

B F# C# D#m

And he said "One day I'm gonna find myself a winning hand

B F# C# F# C# F#

and we'll start living all over again"

B F# C# F# B F#

So he took a little trip to a Vegas hotel to try his luck

C# D#m

on a roulette wheel

B F# C# D#m

That day his touch was about as cold as hell,

F# B C# F#

he lost everything he owned in a gambling deal

D#m C# B

That night his wife picked up the phone to hear

F# G#m C#

a desperate boy say

[Chorus]

F# B G#M C# F# B G#M

CARRY ME, CARRY ME, CUZ I CAN'T MAKE IT ON MY OWN

F# B G#M G#m F# B F# C#

CARRY ME, CARRY ME BACK HOME

F# B C# B

Well I know it's hard to comprehend

But when you feel you can't go on

G#m

It's never the end.....

C# B G#m

Sometimes you just need a friend

B F# C# F#

I knew somebody who lost his way

B F# C# F#

Got himself a loaded gun

B F# C#

They found him lying at the light of day

B F# C# F#

Now it's too late to undo what's already done

D#m C#

But maybe if we'd listened so close,

B F# G#m C#

how many times we hear him say.....

[Chorus]

F# B G#M C# F# B G#M

CARRY ME, CARRY ME, CUZ I CAN'T MAKE IT ON MY OWN

F# B G#M G#m F# B F# C#

CARRY ME, CARRY ME BACK HOME
