Here it is guys, keep in mind the changes here won’t be the same as the track, but this
cool if you want to play it slower and acoustically. If you can reach those high notes
course!
[Verse:]
Billie Holiday on the radio
My sluggish heart is beating seven beats too slow
Another sad song and another shot of blue
Cold and unconcerned are anything but new
[Pre-chorus:]
He said "Love endures all things"
And it hurts to think He's right
If I mark the span of failure
Is his burden just as light?
[Chorus:]
I am, Spartan
Close my heart so tight
Jesus, Save me
from myself tonight
Limping through the world
There's a knowing look or two
Is it just the cripples here
who understand the truth?
Why is love so painful
Why do we always lose?
paving pathways for the lost
the bitter, and recluse?
[Pre-Chorus:]
He said "Love endures all things"
and it hurts to think it's true
did it nail Him to a cross
did it crucify Him too?
[Back to Chorus, instead of ending on Em just go straight from the G to the D for the bridge]
The angels are singing over the plains
the shepherds are quaking, echoing refrains
And all of our slogans designed to take away the pain
meant nothing to the Son of God that night in Bethlehem.
[Back to chorus, end on Dm, then final chord of Am to wrap it up!]
