Verse:
      Am
(Life) I donʼt know about James bond

But round here nobody lives twice
                         Am
When youʼre gone, youʼre gone, without no bye

Cause only a judge can give you life
F
 This is my advice

Trust me, I nearly lost my life
        G
3 weeks after I got this ride

Pissed like I had way too much wine
   Am
(I) Wished I didnʼt get one

Anyway, I was going to The Macbeth booked for a set
Am
Even though I didnʼt have a set one

Skream hit the decks, I was like check one
    F
Put on a show, but it werenʼt my best one
                                              G
Left it, dropped off Blacks at his destination

Then I was off to the next one

20 minutes later I was on the M1
      Am
Tired, but I kept on going

Fell asleep without even knowing
   Am
No motion in my face

No movement in my legs, but the car still kept going
     F
Woke up, lorry, flash

Panic, break, skid, crash
        G
Skidded more, bang, smash

Out cold, ribs cracked, ouch
Am
  I was in so much pain
               Am
Crawled out of a M?gane that now looked like a Mini

When I was still on the first lane
         F
Baffled, didnʼt even know my name

Fainted, too much shock in my brain
           G
Surrounded by paramedics and feds

Trying to get up but fainted again

Chorus:
F                G                             Am
See, I just want you to take a sec and hear me out
                                                  F
Donʼt think Iʼm happy cos I smile when you see me out
                    G                            E
Iʼve had serious madnesses where Iʼve nearly disappeared
                                           Am
And Iʼm begging Lord to save me and let me Go
          Am
To see my family
              F
And keep it inside
                   G
Dry eyes, while my brother weeps
        Am
Save my soul
          Am
Please, Father, let me Go
        F   G
Keep me safe, as my mother sleeps

Verse:
     Am
Eyes closed, they just wouldnʼt open

I could hear voices and my phone ringing
Am
Fighting for life, canʼt tell if Iʼm winning

One of the worst situations Iʼve been in
             F                         G
I could hear all of the angels singing
Am
 But when they stopped humming

My brain turned on, started running
         Am
Still in pain, but it started numbing

The stone cold comeback I made was stunning
        F
I still tried to Do a few shows

ʼcos I didnʼt wanna tell them that I werenʼt coming
          G
But I was left with a permanent problem

Nobody knows about the pain that Iʼm in (sly)
Am
 Ever so cunning

6 weeks later, jogging and running
           Am
I used the first aid kit like a drum set

Picked up the tools and I gave it a drumming
      F
Trust me, when it comes to mistakes

You canʼt afford to let one in
           G
Never done tunes for a while

The pipeline was blocked

So I learned and done a bit of plumbing
    Am
They say tomorrow never dies

But they forgot to tell you, you can
    Am
You can have a sicker clan than Wu-Tang

But when your timeʼs up, thatʼs it, itʼs you fam
F
You can try beg for another

Sometimes Iʼll be on my way to a show
          G
Thinking "I just wanna see my brother"

Then Do a U-turn, Iʼm gone, one up

Chorus:
F                G                             Am
See, I just want you to take a sec and hear me out
                                                  F
Donʼt think Iʼm happy cos I smile when you see me out
                    G                            E
Iʼve had serious madnesses where Iʼve nearly disappeared
                                           Am
And Iʼm begging Lord to save me and let me Go
          Am
To see my family
              F
And keep it inside
                   G
Dry eyes, while my brother weeps
        Am
Save my soul
          Am
Please, Father, let me Go
        F   G
Keep me safe, as my mother sleeps
       Am
let me Go

          Am
To see my family
              F
And keep it inside
                   G
Dry eyes, while my brother weeps
        Am
Save my soul
          Am
Please, Father, let me Go
        F   G
Keep me safe,
