Eb
Hold in my breath-not taking a step
Abm
The good church has closed its doors on me
Eb
God don't like my dirty feet
Eb
Burnin' the lawn-everyone's gone
Abm
Ain't no BBQ going on today
Eb
I drink my dinner in the shade
[Pre-Chorus]
Ab
Days & days go by
Children laughin'
Eb
Still I don't smile at all
Ab
Mary's calling to me
Cm
“Can't you see what I see”
Ab Eb Bb
She would never let me down
[Chorus]
Eb
It's been a long time at the bottom
Cm
I spend a lot of time way down there
Ab
It's been a long time at the bottom
Bb Eb
I don't know how I made it here
[Verse 2]
Eb
Been livin' a lie-my kisses are dry
Abm
I got No where else left to run
Eb
My love is blind deaf and dumb
Eb
Heaven can't wait-to lock up the gate
Abm
Tell me that I never could be long
Eb
I had my chance but got it wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
Ab
Days & days go by
Children laughin'
Eb
Still I don't smile at all
Ab
Mary's calling to me
Cm
“Can't you see what I see”
Ab Eb Bb
She would never let me down
[Chorus]
Eb
It's been a long time at the bottom
Cm
I spend a lot of time way down there
Ab
It's been a long time at the bottom
Bb Eb
I don't know how I made it here
[Bridge]
Cm
Mother Mary, stay with me
F
Don't let me die
Ab Eb
You're the only god part left
Bb
of my trash
Cm
God knows I can't change me
F
I've tried and tried
Ab
I never meant to make you
Eb Bb
cry-y
[Chorus]
Eb
It's been a long time at the bottom
Cm
I spend a lot of time way down there
Ab
It's been a long time at the bottom
Bb Eb
I don't know how I made it here
