        [Dm]   (Beggin') [Bb/F]Beggin'...
        [Em7]-5                  [A7]
              Put your lovin' hand out baby
        [Dm]   (Beggin') [Bb/F]Beggin' you
        [Em7]-5                  [A7]
              Put your lovin' hand out baby

        [Dm]   Ridin' high [Bb/F]     when I was king
        [Em7]-5               [A7]
        Played it hard and fast 'cause I had everything
        [Dm]   Walked away [Bb/F]     want me then
        [Em7]-5              [A7]
        But easy come and easy go and it would end

        (Beggin') I'm beggin you
        Won't you give you hand out baby
        (Beggin') Beggin'...
        Put your lovin' hand out baby

        [Dm7]    I need you to un[G]derstand
               [Em7]-5            [A]
        That I tried so hard to be a man
        [Dm7]The kind of man you'd want [G]in the end
        [Em7]-5                     [A]
        Only then can I begin to live again

        An empty shell   used to be
        Shadow of my life is hangin' over me
        Broken man   without a goal
        Don't even stand the devil's chance to win my soul

        (Beggin') Beggin' you
        Won't you give your hand out baby
        (Beggin') Beggin' you
        Put your lovin' hand out baby

        I'm fightin' hard to hold my own
        No, I just can't make it on all alone
        I'm holdin' on   I can't fall back
        Now that big brass ring is a shade of black
