[Bm]
Now I have nothing, so [D] God give me strength.
[C#m] Cause I'm weak [F#m] in a way.
[A] [C#m] And if I'm strong, [F#m] I might [E] [F#]
still break.
[Bm] And I don't [D] have anything [G] to share.
[Bm] But I won't [D] throw away [E] until [A] the [G] end.
That song [A] you sung [Bm] at [Em]
this [A] bell's rung at.
[D] [Em] She was [Bm] the [F#m] light that [A] I'd [D] black.

[C#m] And I'm lost [F#] in imagining.
[Bm]
Everything [D] that kind of [G] love is worth.

[Gm] So God give [Bm] me strength.
[D] God [Em] give [D] me strength.
She grant [G] me her [Em] indulgence and I [D] will swell.
[F#m] Wipe her [G] from my memory.
[Em]
[A] Fracture [B] the spell.
[F#m]
She becomes [G] my enemy.
[F#m] And maybe [G#m] I was washed [E] out like a lip print [A] on his shirt.
[Bm] See I'm [G#m] only [E] human.
[A] I want him [G] to.
