Gregory Porter - It’s Probably Me

(originally by Sting)

Capo: 1st fret

[Intro]
Dm Dm Dm Dm

[Verse 1]
Dm Dm7
If night turned cold and the stars looked down
Dm Dm7
And you hugh yourself on the cold cold ground
Gm C
You wake the morning in a stranger’s coat
Dm7 Dm
No one would you see

[Verse 2]
Gm Am
You ask yourself, who’d watch for me
Dm Gm
My only friend, who could it be
Bb Am7
It’s hard to say it, I hate to say it
Am Dm7 Dm
But it’s probably me

[Verse 3]
Dm Dm7
When your belly is empty and the hunger’s so real
Dm Dm7
You’re too proud to beg, you’re too dumb to steal
Gm C
You search the city for your only friend
Dm7 Dm
No one would you see

[Verse 4]
Gm Am
You ask yourself, who could it be
Dm Gm
A solitary voice speakin’ out: set me free
Bb Am7
I hate to say it, I hate to say it
Am Dm7 Dm
But it’s probably me

[Verse 5]
Gm Gm7 C
You’re not the easiest person, I ever got to know
F D
But it’s hard for us both, to let our feelings show
Gm C
Some would say I should let you go your way
F F7
You’ll only make me cry

[Chorus]
Gm Am7
If there’s one guy, just one guy
Am7 Gm G7
Who would lay down his life for you and I
Bb Am
I had to say it, it’s hard to say it
Dm7
But it’s probably me Mh, mh

[Interlude]
Dm Dm Gm Gm Am Gm Dm

[Verse 6]
Dm Dm7
When the world’s gone crazy, it makes no sense
Dm Dm7
There’s only one voice, that comes to your defense
Gm Gm7 C
And the jury is out and your eyes search the room
F F7
And the only friendly face is all you need to see

[Chorus]
Gm Am
Oh, if there’s one guy, just one guy
Dm Gm G7
Who would lay down his life for you and I
Bb Am
It’s hard to say it, It’s hard to say it
Dm7 Dm
But it’s probably me Mh, mh

[Coda]
Bb Am
It’s hard to say it, It’s hard to say it
Dm7 G
It’s probably me Ah o’oh oh!
Bb Am
It’s hard to say it, It’s hard to say it
Dm G7
It’s probably me Oh o’oh oh!

[Outro]
Bb Am
Oh I will lay down my life, I will lay down my life for you
Dm G7
O’oh oh, hey hey
Bb
It’s hard to say it, hard to say it
Am
It’s hard to say it, hard to say it
