Intro:  F9/nr  D#7-5/nr  Dsus4  Cmin6/nr


Aadd9      A   Gadd9     G        Dadd9       D       Dadd9  D
You could say I lost my faith in science and progress
Aadd9      A              Gadd9       G           Dadd9  D  Dadd9  D
You could say I lost my belief in the holy church
Aadd9      A   Gadd9     G                 Dadd9  D  Dadd9  D
You could say I lost my sense of direction
Aadd9  A       F#7sus4          F#m7
You could say all of this and worse but


Esus4  E  F#7sus4  F#7      G  G/A
If I ever lose my faith in you
Esus4       E      F#7sus4  F#7      G6   A7sus A7/11
There'd be nothing left for me to do


Some would say I was a lost man in a lost world
You could say I lost my faith in the people on TV
You could say I'd lost my belief in our politicians
They all seemed like game show hosts to me

If I ever lose my faith in you
There'd be nothing left for me to do


G6  Em  G6  Em  G6  Em  G6  Em


F#m        C#sus4            E9/nr  Bsus    Bsus4    C#sus4  F#
I could be lost inside their lies without a trace
          C#sus4  D7-5/nr  F#m9
But every time I close my eyes I see your face


Aadd9    A    G            Gadd9   Dsus4  D  Dsus4  D  Dadd9
I never saw no miracle of science
Aadd9    A           G          Gadd9      Dsus4  D  Dsus4  D  Dadd9
That didn't go from a blessing to a curse
Aadd9    A    G            Gadd9   Dsus4  D  Dsus4  D  Dadd9
I never saw no military solution
Aadd9 A            F#7sus4              F#m7
That didn't always end up as something worse but


Esus4   E        D6
Let me say this first


Bsus4  B  C#7sus4  C#7      D
If I ever lose my faith in you
           D/E
If I ever lose my faith in you
Bsus4       B      C#7sus4  C#7   D
There'd be nothing left for me to do
                    D/E
There'd be nothing left for me to do


Esus4  E  F#7sus4  F#7
If I ever lose my faith
G          G/A
If I ever lose my faith
Esus4  E  F#7sus4  F#7
If I ever lose my faith
G6         A7sus A7/11  A7sus A7/11
If I ever lose my faith              in you


G6  Em
