verse 1

          G               C          G 
I've been there and back, through it all  
                            F                C 
Been on easy street, had my back against the wall  
   G                   C        D 
If I had known how you loved me then  
        G                     F            C 
I would never have left to be coming back again 

 
N.C.       G 
Throw me a lifeline  
             C 
Looking at a worried man  
           G 
Throw me a lifeline  
           F              D 
I've taken all that I can stand  
           G 
Throw me a lifeline  
             B7       A7 
It's getting crazy in here  
           D 
Throw me a lifeline

Throw me a lifeline

Every day that I've been away  
                            F              C 
From the one step closer to what I have to say  
G             C           D 
I have always needed your love  
G                        F          C 
Now I am asking for some help from above 

 
N.C.       G 
Throw me a lifeline  
             C 
Looking at a worried man  
           G 
Throw me a lifeline  
           F              D 
I've taken all that I can stand  
           G 
Throw me a lifeline  
             B7       A7 
It's getting crazy in here  
           D 
Throw me a lifeline  
               Em 
Throw me a lifeline
