Elton John - Sacrifice chords
Start Jamming...
Now, this next song is the first time I've had a number one on my own in England.
I've had plenty in America and I had a number one with Kiki, with Don't Get Broken My Heart,
but I never had a solo number one.
I had to wait a long time [Cm] until this song came along.
[D#] And then it went to number one, which was very nice, because it's always nice [C] to be accepted in your home country.
I'd like to dedicate this to Jesse, to Virginia, to Linda, to Patrick Jordan, to Ingrid and Sandy, [B] and this is called Sacrifice.

[F#] I'm a weak married [G#] man, sweet-talking, commas, [A#m] calling, [F#] negativity [G#]
lines, cold, cold [C#] heart, [F#] hot, done [D#m] by you.
[G#] Something a little [C#] better, baby, [F#] to pass [G#] time to.
There's no [C#]
sacrifice to number [F#] one, to do [G#] what's clever, and do the right [C#]
thing.
But it's no sacrifice, not [F#]
sacrifice, oh, [Fm] not sacrifice [F#] [A#] at [C#] all.

[C#]
It's a [F#] misunderstanding after [D#m] the fact, [G#] sensitive, [C#] ill-advised, [F#] and the final [D#m] act.
[G#] We lose [A#m]
direction, [F#] no stone [G#]
unturned, no tears [A#m] to damn it, [F#] when jealousy [G#] burns.
Cold, cold [C#] heart, [F#] hot, done by [D#m] you.
[G#] Something a little [C#] better, baby, [F#] to pass [G#] time to.
There's no [C#] sacrifice to number [F#] one, to do what's [G#] clever,
[C#] [G#] and do the right thing.

sacrifice [F#] [A#] at [C#]

Something a little [C#] better, baby, [F#] to pass time to.
[G#]
Oh, and it's no [C#]
sacrifice to get to number [F#]
one, to do [G#] what's clever, and to separate.
[C#]
It's no sacrifice, not [F#]
sacrifice, oh, [Fm] not sacrifice [F#] [C#] at all.
[F#] [D#m]
[G#] It's no sacrifice [C#] at all.
