At this Point in my Life

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

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