Intro: C  
 FYou're through with hCoping
 FYou're done with drCeaming
 FWhy have you bCurned every bAmridge you have crGossed?
 FYou can't rCely on anyone
 FYou're mother's bCoy, you're father's sFon
 If you belCieve in no-one wAmhat will you Gdo?
 Oh, it's tGhere in front of you
 PCull for the shGoreline, reCach for a hGand
 You're nCothing at aGll, oh you sFinnerman
 NCo more excGuses, won't you plCease understGand?
 You're lCost without lGove, oh you sFinnerman
 SDminnerman
(continue as before)
So leave the darkness you carried with you
Those angry skies
All the storms you've been through
The battle's over, walk away
The simple price you have to pay
Is to believe that someone's helping you through
Oh, it's all you have to do
Pull for the shoreline, reach for a hand
You're nothing at all, oh you sinnerman
No more excuses, won't you please understand?
You're lost without love, oh you sinnerman
Sad, sad sinnerman
Bridge:

Pull for the shoreline, reach for a hand
You're nothing at all, oh you sinnerman
No more excuses, won't you please understand?
You're lost without love, oh you sinnerman
Oh sinnerman
 PCull for the shGoreline, reCach for a hGand
 You're nCothing at aGll, oh you sFinnerman
 NCo more excGuses, won't you plCease understGand?
