[A#] [Gm]
[Bm] Now I have nothing, [G] so God give [D] me strength
[B] Cause I'm [E] weak [F#m] in a way
And if I'm [C#m] strong, I [F#] might [B]
[A#] still break
[D] And I don't have anything [G] to share
[Bm] But I won't [D] throw away until [E] the [A]
end
[B] [G] That [F#m] song is [A] sung out
[Em] This vow [F#m] is [A] rung out
[E] She [F#] [G] was [F#m] the [G] light that [A] I had blessed
[Em] [G] She took [F#m] my [A] last chance of happiness
[Gm] So God [Bm] give me
[G] strength
[D] She'd grant me her [G]
indulgence [Em] and decline
[A] And I swear [G] [F#m] I'll wipe her [G] from my memory
