I couldn't manage the problems I laid on my - self

           D                                                                                   G

And it just made it worse when I laid them on somebody else.

                                                                              C

So I fin'lly surrendered it all, brought down in de - spair.

   D                                 D7                                G

I cried out for help and I felt a warm Comforter there.

And I came to believe in a power much higher than I.

Nothin' worked out when I handled it all on my own,

         D                                                                    G

And each time I failed, it made me feel twice as a - lone.

                                                                                 C

Then I cried, "Lord, there must be a sure and easier way,

          D                                D7                                                       G

For it just can not help that a man should lose hope and faith ev'ry day."
