Both of Us Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][Em][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]I wish I was s[D]trong enough
to [Em]lift not one but [C]both of us
Some [G]day I [D]will [G]be str[D]ong enough to
[Em]lift not one but [C]both of [G]us[D]

[Verse 2]
[G]Ever thought about losing it
When your money's all gone and
you lose your whip
You might [Em]lose your grip when the landlord
tell ya that you're due for rent
And the grass so green on [G]the other side
Make a nigga wanna run straight
through the fence
Open up the fridge bout [Em]twenty times
But still can't find no food in it
That's [D]foolish[Em]ness
[G]And sometimes I wonder,
why we care so much about the way we look
And the [Em]way we talk and the way we act
And the clothes we bought,
how much that cost?
[G]Does it even really matter?
'Cause if life is an uphill battle
We all tryna [Em]climb with
the same ol' ladder
In the same boat,
with the same ol' paddle
Why so [G]shallow? I'm just asking
What's the pattern for the madness
Every[Em]body ain't a number
one draft pick
Most of us ain't Hollywood actors
But if [G]it's all for one,
and one for all
Then maybe one day, we all can ball
[Em]Do it one time for the underdogs
Sincerely yours, from one of y'all

[Verse 3]
[G]I wish I was s[D]trong enough to
[Em]lift not one but [C]both of us
Some [G]day I will be [D]strong enough to
[Em]lift not one but [C]both of us

[Verse 4]
[G]
I can feel your pain, I can feel your struggle
You just wanna [Em]live,
been everything so low
That you could drown in a puddle
That's why I gotta [G]hold us up,
yeah hold us up
For all the times no
one's ever spoke for us
To [Em]every single time that
they play this song
You can say that that's
what Bobby [G]Ray wrote for [D]us
When the [G]tides get too high
And the sea up underneath get so deep
And you feel like [Em]you're just
another person
Getting lost in the crowd,
way up high in the nosebleed
Uh, because we [G]won't be near yet,
both of us
But we still stand tall with our shoulders up
An[Em]d even though we always
against the odds
These are the things that have molded us
And [G]if life hadn't chosen us
Sometimes I wonder where
I would've wound up
'Cause if it was up [D]to me,
I'd make a new blueprint
Then build it from the ground up, hey
But if [Em]it's all for one,
and one for all
Then maybe one day, we all can ball
[C]Do it one time for the underdogs
From Bobby Ray, to [G]all of y'all
[D]I[G]

[Verse 5]
wish I was [D]strong enough to
[Em]lift not one but [C]both of us
Some [G]day I will be [D]strong enough to
[Em]lift not one [C]but both [G]of us
