At this Point in my Life

David Ribeiro / Tracy Chapman: A Living Legend (1995)

D A
Done so many things wrong I don't know if I can do right Oh I, Oh I've
D A D F#m D A D F#m D A D A
Done so many things wrong I don't know if I can do right
 
A
At this point in my life
D F#m D
I've done so many things wrong I don't know if I can do right
A D F#m
If you put your trust in me I hope I won't let you down
D A
If you give me a chance I'll try
F#m D A E
You see it's been a hard road, the road I'm traveling on
F#m D A E
And if I take your hand I might lead you down the path to ruin
F#m D A F#m
I've had a hard life I'm just saying it so you'll understand
D E
That right now, right now, I'm doing the best I can
 
A D A D
At this point in my life - At this point in my life
D F#m
Although I've mostly walked in the shadows
D
I'm still searching for the light
A
Won't you put your faith in me
D F#m
We both know that's what matters
D A
If you give me a chance I'll try
F#m D A E
You see I've been climbing stairs but mostly stumbling down
F#m D A E
I've been reaching high always losing ground
F#m D A F#m
You see I've conquered hills but I still have mountains to climb
D E
And right now right now I'm doing the best I can
A D A
At this point in my life
A
Before we take a step
D
Before we walk down that path
Before I make any promises 
F#m
Before you have regrets
Before we talk commitment 
Let me tell you of my past 
D
All I've seen and all I've done
E
The things I'd like to forget
 
A D
At this point in my life
A D
At this point in my life
D F#m
I'd like to live as if only love mattered
F#m D
As if redemption was in sight
A
As if the search to live honestly
D F#m
Is all that anyone needs
D A
No matter if you find it
 
F#m D A
You see when I've touched the sky
E
The earth's gravity has pulled me down
F#m D A
But now I've reconciled that in this world
E
Birds and angels get the wings to fly
F#m D A
If you can believe in this heart of mine
E
If you can give it a try
D
Then I'll reach inside and find and give you
E
All the sweetness that I have
A
At this point in my life
D A
At this point in my life
