[Gm] This is from my second album.
_ _ I get a few requests for this from time to time.
_ Every now and then a guy would come up to me and say,
Tommy, _ man, I went through a real tough [C] time.
[Gm] I went through a real difficult time in my life. _
And I would listen to this song,
and I think that that song [C] helped me [Gm] to get through. _ _ _
[Em] And I like to [Gm] think _ that's what the blues is all about, [C] man.
_ [Gm] It's to make you feel better _
when things are not going your way.
To lift you up when you're down.
I wonder, does anybody feel better out there tonight? _
_ [C] _ [Gm] _ It always works for me.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ [G] _ [Gm] Had myself trouble.
_ _ [G] _ _ Had myself pain.
[C] _ [G] _ _ _ Picked myself up so many times.
[Gm] _ _ Been knocked down again.
But one [Bm] thing [C] I know, _ _ _
_ one thing I found, _ _ _
_ _ [D] you can't, can't, you [E] can't,
you can't keep a good man [C] down.
_ [Bb] _ _
[D] _ _ _ [G] I worked hard, a lot of money, baby.
_ _ I'm not a candidate.
_ [Gm] _ _ _ Had myself a real good job.
_ _ All I have is time.
I don't [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ worry. _ _ _
_ _ [D] You can't, you can't, you [E] can't,
you can't keep a good man [C] down. _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ [C] _ _ Sometimes I, _ _ _ [G] yeah, sometimes I remember.
_ _ _ So how many times I've been wrong now?
[D] So many times it makes sense.

I worked hard, hard, hard, hard,
so hard to find
you're on [C] my side.
_ [Bb] Had myself a real good [Gm] job.
_ All I have is time.
It [G] _ [D] doesn't _ _ _ _ _ even make sense.
_ _ _ [G] _ _
[Bb] _ _ [C] _ So many times I've been fooled.
_ _ [G] _ _ Sometimes I've been loved.
_ [Bb] _ God help me, I'm made for all that.
[D] So many times it makes me suffer.
You [C] know you can't. _ _ _ _
_ [Gm] You can't. _ _ _ _
[G] _ [E] Can't you [C] can't? You [Gm] can't.
Can't you [C] can't? _ _ _
[G] _ You can [C] try. _ _ _ _
_ [G] But if you wanna let it out, _
_ you [C] gotta let _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ it out.
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ [Gm] Just be human.
[G] _ [Gm] _ _ [C] _ _ _
[G] Whatever you want to be.
[C] _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] And let it out. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ If you can't let it [Bb] out,
you [C] just cry. _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ [G] _ You _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ don't have _ [G] _ _ _ _ to be human to let it out.
