Chords for In The Studio with Kirk Franklin - "Before I Die"

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [N] I can't believe you're here to give me [G] love
Give me, give me, give me love
_ You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, hey.
What's up?
I just looked right now, heard something.
Little guy part on the third hook.
Brain juices flowing.
And look, that's a good look.
Y'all wanna do something different on the third one?
Go ahead, do it.
Go, son.
Play the third hook.
After the, after the brief.
Turn it up, just say yes.
Give me, give me love Son.
_ _ [Gm] Give me [A] love
Be afraid to die
[C] I used to be afraid to try
I'm trying to [D] break away
But I'm [A] in love with lies
But the sun can't make me lie
_ [N] Give me love
Can you give me love
Can you give me love
Can you give me love
_ Can you give me love Yeah.
_ _ It'd add a different look.
It'd be like, whoa!
You know what I'm saying?
Because the other two.
Or Sonic, that'd be hard.
[C] But the sun can't make [A] me lie
Now I feel like I can touch [C] the sky
I'm [Bbm] riding in the [Gb] night
[C] But the sun can't [A] make me lie Yeah.
Give me love
_ _ _ Yeah, but even when they were all in it. _ _ _ _ _ _
Can't do it in here?
No, the problem is, sonically,
when everybody was singing together,
y'all were not nice.
_ _ _ It'll stand out?
It's probably going to still bleed.
There's going to be a little bit of bleeding.
You remember when everybody was together.
But you know what?
But the problem is, we're ending the same way we did originally.
All the part we added is,
Can you give me?
Can you give me?
Because we're not even singing right there.
So we're going to end up singing what we already sang.
So then maybe, you know what?
Won't you let them, won't you let,
won't you give them just a whole separate track?
And then what we can do later is maybe just try to cut off the end.
Or maybe kind of like, you know,
kind of like, you know, uh,
tuck the end.
Does that make sense?
[F] What do you mean the end?
Me lie.
Also, I won't get real sick.
Yeah, that part.
Also, I won't get sick.
Yeah.
[N] Oh, I got you.
What's up? _
_ _ What's right?
Picture it. _ _ _ _

to get me like
