Intro: Aadd9 E C#m* B*
Verse 1:
[Aadd9]I've been a [E]walking heartache,
C#m* B*
I've made a mess of me.
[Aadd9]The person that [E]I've been lately
C#m* B*
Ain't who I wanna be.
[Aadd9]You stay here [E]right beside me,
C#m* B*
Watch as the storm blows through,
F#m* Aadd9 B*
And I need you.
Chorus:
Aadd9 E C#m* B*
God gave me you for the ups and downs.
Aadd9 E C#m* B*
God gave me you for the days of doubt.
For when I [Aadd9]think I've lost my [E]way,
C#m* B*
There are no words here left to say.
F#m* Aadd9
It's true:
B*
God gave me you.
Aadd9 E C#m* B*
Aadd9 E C#m* B*
Verse 2:
[Aadd9]There's more here than [E]what were seeing,
C#m* B*
A divine conspiracy,
[Aadd9]That you, an [E]angel lovely
C#m* B*
Could somehow fall for me.
[Aadd9]You'll always be [E]love's great martyr,
C#m* B*
I'll be the flattered fool.
F#m* Aadd9 B*
And I need you.
Chorus:
Aadd9 E C#m* B*
God gave me you for the ups and downs.
Aadd9 E C#m* B*
God gave me you for the days of doubt.
For when I [Aadd9]think I've lost my [E]way,
C#m* B*
There are no words here left to say.
F#m* Aadd9
It's true:
B*
God gave me you.
Bridge:
C#m* Aadd9
On my own I'm only
Half of what I could be--[E]I
B* C#m*
Can't do without you.
We are stitched together,[Aadd9]
And what love has tethered--[E]I
B*
Pray we never undo.
Final Chorus:
Aadd9 E C#m* B*
God gave me you for the ups and downs.
Aadd9 E C#m* B*
God gave me you for the days of doubt.
Aadd9 E C#m* B*
God gave me you for the ups and downs.
Aadd9 E C#m* B*
God gave me you for the days of doubt.
For when I [Aadd9]think I've lost my [E]way,
C#m* B*
There are no words here left to say.
F#m* Aadd9
It's true:
B*
God gave me you.
Outro:
Aadd9 E C#m* B* (Repeat to End)
