Both Of Us Chords

Lyrics & chords

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

[Verse 1]
[G]I wish I was strong
[D]enough to lif[Em]t
Not one, but [C]both of us
[G]Someday I [D]will [G]be strong
[D]enough to lif[Em]t
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 you
that you're due for rent
And the grass so green on [G]the other side
Make you even wanna run
straight through the fence
Open up the fridge about [Em]twenty times
But still can't find no food in it
That's [D]foolish[Em]ness
[G]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 did that cost?
[G]Does it even really matter?
'Cause if life is an uphill battle
We all [Em]tryina climb up
the same old ladder
In the same boat with
the same old paddle
Why so [G]shallow? I'm just asking
What's the pattern to the madness?
Every[Em]body hitting number one traffic
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 could bow
[Em]Do it one time for the underdogs
Sincerely yours, I'm one of y'all

[Verse 3]
[G]I wish I was s[D]trong enough to l[Em]ift
Not one, but [C]both of us
[G]Someday I will be strong
[D]enough to lif[Em]t
Not one, but [C]both of us

[Verse 4]
[G]
I can feel your pain,
I can feel your trouble
You're just wanna [Em]live,
but everything's so low
That you could drown in a puddle
That's why I gotta [G]hold this up,
yeah, hold this up
For all the times no one ever spoke for us
So [Em]every single time that
they play this song
You can say that's what Bobby
[G]Ray wrote for [D]us
When the [G]tides get too high
And the sea up underneath it is so deep
And you feel like
[Em]You're just another person
getting lost in crowd
Way up high in the nosebleed
'Cause [G]we've both been there
Yeah, 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
If it was up [D]to me,
I'd make a new blueprint
Damn, 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 could bow
[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
[G]Someday I will be strong
[D]enough to lif[Em]t
Not one, [C]but both [G]of us
