Verse 1

Instrumental verse of 14 Bars (same as intro but last two bars in D) – G D

Verse 2

I was half in mind, I was half in need

And as the rain came down

 I dropped to my knees and I prayed

I said “Oh heavenly thing, please cleanse my soul

 I’ve seen all on offer and I’m not impressed at all”

Verse 3

I was half way home, I was half insane

And every shop window I looked in things

 Just looked the same

I said “Now send me a sign to save my life

‘cause at this moment in time there’s nothing

 certain in these days of mine”

Bridge

You see it’s a frightening little thing

When it dawns upon you

That I know as much as the day I was born

And though I wasn’t asked

I might as well stay

And promise myself each and every day

Verse 4

That when you’re knocked on your back

And your life’s a flop

And when your down on the bottom

 There’s nothing else but to

Chorus

Shout to the Top

Oh we’re gonna shout to the top

we’re gonna shout to the top

we’re gonna shout to the top

Hey we’re gonna shout to the top
