Why me Lord?

Try me Lord.  
       G7              C     
If you think there's a way,

I can try to re-pay  
                    D7    
All I've taken from you.  
NC    G      
Maybe Lord,  
      G7           C     
I can show someone else  
                         G      
What I've been through myself.  
      D7          G     G7 
On my way back to you.
