Brought me down upon my knees, oh I beg, I beg and plead - singing

D               Am                                   Em
  come back and take you home, I could not stop that you now know - singing
D           Am                             Em
  Come out upon my seas, curse missed opportunities - am I
D        Am                             Em
  A part of the cure, or am I a part of the disease? - singing
