[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]
Dm           Bb/F
   (Beggin') I'm beggin' you
Em7-5                      A7
      Won't you give your hand out baby
Dm           Bb/F
   (Beggin') Beggin'
Em7-5                  A7
      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]
Dm                 Bb/F
    An empty shell      used to be
Em7              A7
    Shadow of my life is hangin' over me
Dm            Bb/F
   Broken man      without a goal
Em7                      A7
   Don't even stand the devil's chance to win my soul
 
 
[Chorus 2]
Dm           Bb/F
   (Beggin') Beggin' you
Em7-5                      A7
      Won't you give your hand out baby
Dm           Bb/F
   (Beggin') Beggin you'
Em7-5                  A7
      Put your lovin' hand out baby
 
 
[Bridge 2]
Dm7                    G
  I'm fightin' hard to hold my own
      Em7-5                 A
No, I just can't make it on all alone
Dm7                  G
   I'm holdin' on, I can't fall back
         Em7-5               A
Now that big brass ring is a shade of black
