Well, I've been weak And you've been strong You've done me right And I've done you wrong
Now days are gone And turned to years And all my sorrow Has shown up in tears
So show me the way Teach me the song Oh, let me play it Let me sing along
I want you near me Oh, can't you hear me? Don't leave this bleeding heart All alone
So chip away at me Chip away at me I know there's a man Underneath this stone Chip away at me Chip away at me Don't leave me here Standin' all alone
Oh, no, child You're not wastin' time You're out of sight You're not out of mind
Don't let it end Don't let it slip away I pray for this love Each and every day
So chip away at me Chip away at me I know there's a man Underneath this stone Chip away at me Chip away at me Don't leave me here Standin' all alone
And I know that my reasons wear thin But I think it's this pain That makes me a man And now that I've said this All in this song You know that my love Will never do you no harm Never do you no harm Yeah, yeah
So chip away at me Chip away at me I know there's a man Underneath this stone Chip away at me Chip away at me Don't leave me here Standin' all alone
So chip away at me Chip away at me I know there's a man Underneath this stone Chip away at me Chip away at me Don't leave me here Standin' all alone
