Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Now I have nothing, so God give me strength

'Cause I'm weak in her [his] wake

And if I'm strong I might still break

And I don't have anything to share

That I won't throw away into the air

That song is sung out

This bell is rung out

[He] She was the light that I'd bless

[He] She took my last chance at happiness

So God give me strength, God give me strength

(second verse same as first)

I can't hold onto [him] her, God give me strength

When the phone doesn't ring

And I'm lost in imagining

Everything that kind of love is worth

As I tumble back down to the earth

That song is sung out

This bell is rung out

[He] She was the light that I'd bless

[He] She took my last chance at happiness

So God give me strength,

God if [he'd] she'd grant me [his] her indulgence and decline

(, , )

I might as well wipe [him] her from my memory

(, , )

Fracture the spell as [he] she becomes my enemy

Maybe I was washed out like a lip-print on his shirt

See, I'm only human, I want him to hurt

I want him, I want him to hurt

Instrumental

repeat structure of first verse, these last two lines are

picked up as you reach the end of the verse)]

Since I lost the power to pretend

That there could ever be a happy ending

That song is sung out

This bell is rung out

[He] She was the light that I'd bless

[He] She took my last chance at happiness

So God give me strength, God give me strength

Wipe her from my life...

I might as well...

God give me strength...

God give me strength...

I might as well
