[E]
[B]
[Db]
[Gbm] Let [E]
me be [Eb] patient, let [Dbm] me be kind, make [A] me unselfish [B] without [E] being blind.
[Eb] Though I may suffer, I'll envy it [Dbm] not.
And [Abm] endure what comes, cause [A] he's all [E] I've got.
[Abm]
Tell [E] him I need [Ab] him, tell [A] him I [E] love [B] him, [A] it'll be [Eb] alright.
[E]
Now I may [Abm] have strength to make [A] mountains fall, but if I lack love, [Ab] I am nothing at all.
I [E]
give away [Ab] [Ebm] everything, [E]
but then without love, and I have no happiness.
Now I know I'm imperfect [Abm] and not without [A] spin,
[Gbm] but now that I'm old, I'll challenge [E] things and fail.
Tell him I need [Abm] him, tell him [A] I
[E] love him, it'll be alright.
Now [G] I won't be jealous, [B] and I [Dbm] won't be too proud.
Love is not boastful, and love is not loud.
Tell him I [Abm] need him, tell him
[C] I'll be [B] alright.
[Em]
[Abm]
[Dbm]
[Ebm] [Abm] Now
[E] I may have [B] wisdom, [D] knowledge on earth, but if I [A] speak wrong, what is it [E] worth?
See what we [Abm] now [Gbm] know is nothing to the [E] love that was shown [A] when our lives [E] were spared.
So, so tell him, [Abm] tell him I [E] need him, tell him I love him, [Abm]
[E] it's gone,
[Ab] [A]
[E] [B]
[A] alright.
[E]
[Abm]
Tell him, [Dbm]
love that [Abm]
never shone when our lives were spared.
Tell him, it's gonna [A]
be alright.
