C# F#
I fought against the bottle
G# C# F# G#
But I had to do it drunk
C# F#
Took my diamond to the pawnshop
G# C# F# G#
But that don't make it junk
I know that I'm forgiven
But I don't know how I know
I don't trust my inner feelings
Inner feelings come and go
F# G# A#m
How come you called me here tonight?
F#
And how come you bother
G# A#m
With my heart at all?
D#
You raise me up in grace
G#
Then you put me in a place
G#7sus4 G# G#7
Where I must fall
Too late to mix another drink The lights are going out I'll just listen to the darkness sing I know what that's about
A#m G# C#
I tried to love you my way
A#m G# C#
But I couldn't make it hold
A#m G# F#
So I closed the Book of Longing
G#.. ...|... ...|... G#6..|G#7.. G#..|
And I do what I am told
How come you called me here tonight? How come you bother With my heart at all? You raise me up in grace Then you put me in a place Where I must fall
I fought against the bottle But I had to do it drunk Took my diamond to the pawnshop But that don't make it junk I fought against the bottle But I had to do it drunk Took my diamond to the pawnshop But that don't make it junk That don't make it junk That don't make it junk
