intro : Aadd9 E C#m * B *
verse 1 :
Aadd9 E
i’ve been a walking heartache ,
C#m * B *
i’ve made a mess of me .
Aadd9 E
the person that i’ve been lately
C#m * B *
ain’t who i wanna be .
Aadd9 E
you stay here 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 .
Aadd9 E
for when i think i’ve lost my 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 E
there’s more here than what were seeing ,
C#m * B *
a divine conspiracy ,
Aadd9 E
that you , an angel lovely
C#m * B *
could somehow fall for me .
Aadd9 E
you’ll always be 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 .
Aadd9 E
for when i think i’ve lost my 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
E
half of what i could be – – i
B * C#m *
can’t do without you .
Aadd9
we are stitched together ,
E
and what love has tethered – – 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 .
Aadd9 E
for when i think i’ve lost my way ,
C#m * B *
there are no words here left to say .
F#m * Aadd9
it’s true :
B *
god gave me you .
