On my knees

(F#m)
You think that was
D    F#m    E
One up for you
(E)         D       F#m       E
But I know I scored something too

A
When I see the way you have to struggle just to do a little
F#m
Simple thing
A
I feel apologetic just because I'm not particularly
F#m
Suffering

(F#m)

(BRIDGE)
C     G     Am   Am

A
When you try and cut me down and push me back if I attack your
F#m
attitude
A
I rise up to the challenge 'cause I like to taste the sugar of your
F#m
violent mood

(F#m)       D   F#m  E
Just like a stormy   sea
(E)
You're natural
D  F#m    E
Poetry to me
