[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.


[Instrumental]

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.


[Outro]

Aadd9 E C#m* B*
(Repeat to End)
