God Give Me Strength Elvis Costello
Intro: Gm D Gm Bm Gm D Gm Bm
[Bm]Now I have nothing, so [G]God give me [D]strength
[C#m]'Cause I'm weak[C#m7] in her (his) wak[F#]e
[C#m]And if I'm strong I might [F#sus4]still brea[F#7]k
[Bm]And I don't have an[A]ything to sha[G]re
[Bm]That I won't [E]throw away into the air[A]
[G]That song is s[A]ung out
[G]This bell is r[A]ung out
[Em]She was the l[F#m]ight that I'd [A]bless
[Em]She took my [F#m]last chance at [A]happiness
[Gm7]So God give me [Bm]strength, [Em]God give me streng[D]th[G] [Em] [A]
[Bm]I can't hold onto, [G]God give me [D]strength
[C#m]When the [C#m7]phone doesn't [F#]ring
[C#m]And I'm lost in [F#sus4]imagining[F#]
[Bm]Everything that [A]kind of love is [G]worth
[Bm]As I tumble [E]back down to the [A]earth
[G]That song is [A]sung out
[G]This bell is [A]rung out
[Em]She was the [F#m]light that I'd [A]bless
[Em]She took my [F#m]last chance at [A]happiness
So [Gm7]God give me s[Bm]trength,
[Em]God if she'd [D]grant me her [G]indulgence and [Em]decline
[Em]I m[F#]ight a[A]s w[Asus4]ell wipe [A]her from my [Asus2]memory
[Em]Frac[F#]ture t[A]he s[Asus4]pell as s[A]he becomes my [Asus2]enemy
[Bm]Maybe I was wash[E]ed out like a li[A]p?print on his shirt
[Bm]See, I'm only hu[E]man, I w[A]ant him to [Asus4]hurt
I want him[Asus4], I want him to [Bm]hurt
instrumental ?
[Bm] [G] [D]
[C#m] [F#]
[C#m] [F#sus4] [F#]
[Bm]Since I lost the [A]power to [G]pretend
[Bm]That there could [E]ever be a happy [A]ending
[G]That song is [A]sung out
[G]This bell is [A]rung out
[Em]She was the [F#m]light that I'd [A]bless
[Em]She took my [F#m]last chance at [A]happiness
So [Gm7]God give me [Bm]strength, [Em]God give [A]me [D]strength........
[Gm] [D] [Gm] [Bm] [Gm]
[D] Wipe her from my [Gm]memory
[Bm] I might as well[Gm]
[D] Wipe her from my [Gm]memory
[Bm] God give me s[Gm]trength
[D] Wipe her from my m[Gm]emory
[Bm] I might as well..........
