[E]
I took a stairway straight to the top I kept on climbing I never stopped to [A] smell
a rose That's just the way [E] it goes
I made a dollar I tasted blood
I needed water I found a [A] flood, oh my
I almost drank enough [E] to die [B] So I jumbled out to [A] sea in a way [E] too high
This old west side, can you help me?
I'm taking water on just about as fast [A] as I can
Could you [E] lend me your hand?
This old west side, can you help me?
I asked myself how could anybody [G] else [A] understand?
This wasn't part of [C#m] my plan
I do the best [B] that I can
[A] [E] Mayday man
Thought it was easy, I'd seen it done Thought it would please me to make it to the [A] other side
But I wasn't ready [E] for the ride I felt the thunder rip through my sails
It took me under, I swam on my way, [A] oh my I guess he saw that weakness [E] in my eyes
[Bm] To [B] be right on [F#m] out to sea in a [E] way too high This old west side, can you help me?
I'm taking water on just about as fast as [A] I can Could you lend me [E] your hand?
