Transcription by Luis Ferreira
Some ideas taken from a post by mikeh@cbnewsg.cb.att.com (michael p.herlihy)
Intro: F9/nr D#7-5/nr Dsus4 Cmin6/nr
[Aadd9]You could s[A]ay I[Gadd9] lost my f[G]aith in s[Dadd9]cience and p[D]rogress[Dadd9] [D]
[Aadd9]You could s[A]ay I lost my be[Gadd9]lief in the [G]holy church[Dadd9] [D] [Dadd9] [D]
[Aadd9]You could s[A]ay I[Gadd9] lost my s[G]ense of direction[Dadd9] [D] [Dadd9] [D]
[Aadd9]You cou[A]ld say a[F#7sus4]ll of this and wo[F#m7]rse but
[Esus4]If I ev[E]er [F#7sus4]lose my f[F#7]aith in y[G]ou[G/A]
[Esus4]There'd be n[E]othing [F#7sus4]left for [F#7]me to do[G6] [A7sus] [A7/11]
Some would say I was a lost man in a lost world
You could say I lost my faith in the people on TV
You could say I'd lost my belief in our politicians
They all seemed like game show hosts to me
If I ever lose my faith in you
There'd be nothing left for me to do
[G6] [Em] [G6] [Em] [G6] [Em] [G6] [Em]
F#m C#sus4 E9/nr Bsus Bsus4 C#sus4 F#
I could be lost inside their lies without a trace
C#sus4 D7-5/nr F#m9
But every time I close my eyes I see your face
[Aadd9]I never s[A]aw no[G] miracle of s[Gadd9]cience[Dsus4] [D] [Dsus4] [D] [Dadd9]
[Aadd9]That didn[A]'t go from a[G] blessing t[Gadd9]o a curse[Dsus4] [D] [Dsus4] [D] [Dadd9]
[Aadd9]I never s[A]aw no[G] military sol[Gadd9]ution[Dsus4] [D] [Dsus4] [D] [Dadd9]
[Aadd9]That d[A]idn't always [F#7sus4]end up as something w[F#m7]orse but
[Esus4]Let me s[E]ay this f[D6]irst
[Bsus4]If I ev[B]er [C#7sus4]lose my f[C#7]aith in y[D]ou
If I ever l[D/E]ose my faith in you
[Bsus4]There'd be n[B]othing [C#7sus4]left for [C#7]me to [D]do
There'd be nothing l[D/E]eft for me to do
[Esus4]If I ev[E]er [F#7sus4]lose my f[F#7]aith
[G]If I ever l[G/A]ose my faith
[Esus4]If I ev[E]er [F#7sus4]lose my f[F#7]aith
[G6]If I ever l[A7sus]ose my[A7/11] faith [A7sus] [A7/11] in you
[G6] [Em]
