[Intro]

F C G Am

[Verse 1]

F C Am

he stumbled backwards through the door

F C Am

he smelled of gin and cold cold smoke

F C Am

his wife and kids feared nothing more

F C Am

this night his ship has left the shore

[Chorus]

F C G

no one else could feel his pain

he lost the game once more again

F C Am

the tide is coming in

[Verse 2]

F C Am

sweat ran down his furrowed face

F C Am

he shivered like an earthquake

F C Am

once he was full of grace

F C Am

but the benjamins took his faith

[Chorus]

F C G

no one else could feel his pain

he lost the game once more again

F C Am

the tide is coming in

F C G

he left his home as a man

now he needs a helping hand

F C Am

come back home like a man

[Bridge]

G Am

he didn't know how this could happen

G Am

he didn't know a way out

G Am

so he left them with a weapon

G Am

and birds rose up through the clouds

[Chorus]

F C G

no one else could feel his pain

he lost the game once more again

F C Am

the tide is coming in

F C G

he left his home as a man

now he needs a helping hand

F C Am

come back home like a man

[Outro]

F C G

he left his home as a man

now he needs a helping hand

F C Am

come back home like a man
