[Dm] [Gm] [Am] [D]
[G] [Bm] [F#m] [Bm]
[Dm] [Gm] [D]
[Gm] [Bm]
Now I have nothing [G] so God give [D] me strength
[B] Cause I'm [C#m] weak [F#m] and I'm brave
And [B] if I'm [C#m] strong I [B] might [F#] still break
[Bm] And I [A] don't have anything [G] to share
[Bm] But I won't throw away [E] into [A] the air
[G] That song [A] of sun
[Em] This [A] fellows wife
[Em] She was [F#m] the light that [A] I'd bless
[Em] She took my [F#m] last chance of [A] happiness
[Gm] So God give me [Bm] strength
[Em] God give [D] me strength
[G] [Em] [A]
[F#m] I [Bm] can't hold on to [G] a God
Give [D] me strength
[C#m] When the fall [F#m] doesn't ring
And I'm [C#m] lost [E] in [F#] imagining
[Bm] [D] Everything that kind of [G] love is worth
[Bm] As [D] I tumble back [A] down to the earth
[G] That [F#m] song of [A] sun
[Em] [A] This fellows wife
[G] She [F#m] was the light that [A] I'd bless
[G] She took [F#m] my last [A] chance of happiness
[Gm] So God [Bm] give me strength
[Em] God [G] [D] should grant [G] me her [Em] indulgence and decline
And [D] strip, [F#m] wipe her [G] from my memory
[Em] [A] [D] Pressure the snare
[F#m] She [G] becomes my little witch
[Bm] Oh baby [E] I was washed [A] out like a lip print on a shirt
[Bm] See [E] I'm only human
[A] I [B] want him [A] to have
[D] I
[A] [F#m] want him [Bm] [F#m] [G] [D]
[B] [C#m]
[F#m] [B] to [C#m] have
[B] [F#] [Bm] Since I [D] lost the power to [G] pretend
That [Bm] there could ever [E] be a [A] happy ending
[G] That song [F#m] of [A] sun
[Em] This [F#m] fellows [A] wife
[G] She was [F#m] the light that [A] I'd bless
[Em] She took my [F#m] last [A] chance of happiness
So [Gm] God give me [Bm] strength
[Em] [D]
God should grant me her indulgence and decline
And strip, [Dm]
[Gm] [D] [Gm]
[Bm] [Dm]
[Gm] [D] wipe her from my [Gm] memory
I [Bm] might as [D] well
[Gm] [A] [D] God [Gm] give me strength
[Bm] God [Dm] give me strength
[Gm] [D] [Gm]
