My Joy Chords by Leela James

_ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Cm] _ _ _ [F] _
[Bbm] This song, I used to _ [F] that _ _
_ [Fm] person, I [Gm] don't even mention his name.
[C] _ _
They said I [Eb] couldn't do nothing without him. _
_ _ [Cm] _ _ _ [F] _
_ [Fm] Who are you to [F]
tell [Cm] me _ I [Eb] can't go _ on _
[C] without you?
_ [Fm] _
And why you're telling _ me [Cm] _ _ I'm never gonna [Eb] _ _ survive? _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
[Fm] But once upon a time, _ _ _ yes [Eb] I _ _ [E] believe _
[C] that I _ _ [Fm] would survive.
And no way, no how, [Ab] _ _ _ [E] you can't [Eb] control _ _ my _ [Bb] mind.
[Fm] _ _
[Bbm] Cause if [Ab] _
I [Db] _ lost [D] you [Ab] with a pin [E] doll in [Fm] my fiat,
_ _ [A]
I [Bbm] would've never left [Ab] you alone, and [Db] I wouldn't be [D] on my own,
and [Ab] I never, _ [Bb] never would've brought _ you _ [Fm] down.
No, no, [Ab] no, no way you gon' take away [Eb] my joy, my [C] peace, my [Fm] strength. _ _
_ No, no, no, no way you gon' take away [Eb] my joy, my peace, [Cm] my strength. _
_ [Fm] Thank you for all the [Ab] time, _ _ _ [Eb] love all the _ pain _ you [Bb] gave me. _
[Fm] The hate you showed to _ me _ [Bb] taught me how [Eb] to love _ [C] _
_ [Cm] myself.
_ [Eb] _ _
[Fm] It's funny how you try [Cm] to break down [Eb] my pride [G] _
and [C] my fear of shock.
[Eb] _
[Fm] It doesn't even matter [Ab] now, _ cause I've done [Eb] no _ wrong _ [Cm] with my life.
_ [Bb] _
Cause if [Ab] _
I [Db] _ lost [D] you [Ab] with a pin [E] doll in [Fm] my [Ab] fiat, _
I [Bbm] would've never left [Ab] you alone, and [Db] I wouldn't be [D] on my own,
and [Ab] I _ never would've wrote [C] this song.
[Ab] _ _
_ [Fm] No, no, no, [Ab] no way you gon' take away [Eb] my joy, [Ab] my [C] peace, my strength. _ _
[Fm] _ No, no, no, no way you [C] gon' take away [Eb] my joy, [C] my peace, my strength.
[Ab] No, no, [G] _ no, no way _
_ [Eb] you _ _ gon' [Bbm] take away _ my _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ [Cm] _ _ [E] _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
[C] joy, my peace, my strength.
_ [Fm] Cause _ [Bbm] _ if [Ab] _
I [Db] _ lost [D] you [Ab] with a pin [Em] doll in [Fm] my fiat,
[Ab] _
I [Bbm] would've never left [Ab] you alone, and [Db] I wouldn't be [D] on my own,
and [Ab] I never would've [Bb] found this love, [Fm] and I never would've loved again.
If [Bbm] _ _ _ [Cm] you _ [Db] _ _ _ [D] _
were [Ab] mine, _ [E] you [Ab] know, _ _ [F] I [Bbm] never would've [Ab] found _
_ [Db] _ _ _ [D] this [Ab] love,
and I never would've wrote this [Cm] _ _ [Eb] _
song.
[Fm] No, no, no, _ _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ no way [Eb] you gon' take away my joy, [Cm] my _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _
peace, _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E]
my [Eb] strength. _ _ _
Telling [C] you, you can't take [Ab] away, can't take [Fm] away my joy, _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ [Cm] _ _ [Fm] _ _
[Eb] my _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ peace, [C] my _ strength.
