Text File
Here it is guys, keep in mind the changes here won�t be the same as the track, but this
cool if you want to play it slower and acoustically. If you can reach those high notes
course!
[Verse:]
Bm C#m D Em
Billie Holiday on the radio
F#m G A Bm
My sluggish heart is beating seven beats too slow
Bm C#m D Em
Another sad song and another shot of blue
F#m G A
Cold and unconcerned are anything but new
[Pre-chorus:]
G A
He said "Love endures all things"
D F#m
And it hurts to think He's right
G Bm
If I mark the span of failure
A
Is his burden just as light?
[Chorus:]
G Bm
I am, Spartan
G Bm
Close my heart so tight
G Bm
Jesus, Save me
G Em Bm
from myself tonight
C#m
Limping through the world
D Em
There's a knowing look or two
F#m
Is it just the cripples here
G A Bm
who understand the truth?
Bm C#m
Why is love so painful
D Em
Why do we always lose?
F#m
paving pathways for the lost
G A
the bitter, and recluse?
[Pre-Chorus:]
G A
He said "Love endures all things"
D F#m
and it hurts to think it's true
G Bm
did it nail Him to a cross
A
did it crucify Him too?
[Back to Chorus, instead of ending on Em just go straight from the G to the D for the bridge]
D Bm G A
The angels are singing over the plains
D Bm G A
the shepherds are quaking, echoing refrains
D Bm G G
And all of our slogans designed to take away the pain
Bm F#m G A
meant nothing to the Son of God that night in Bethlehem.
[Back to chorus, end on Dm, then final chord of Am to wrap it up!]
