You Cant Fail Me Now

Biography:

Bonnie Raitt, (born November 8, 1949) is an American blues and R&B singer, songwriter, and guitarist who was born in Burbank, California, the daughter of Broadway musical star John Raitt.

Raitt began playing guitar at an early age, something not a lot of her high school girlfriends did. "I had played a little at school and at camp," she later recalled in a July 2002 interview. "My parents would drag me out to perform for my family, like all parents do, but it was a hobby—nothing more.

Tuning Standard

Nice and slow

Intro: Same Chords as the verse

[A] [F#m] [C#m] [D] [F#m] [Bm] [Bm7] [A] [Bm] [Bm7] [A]

I [A] know that [F#m] fan is moving air, [C#m] I can see it in your hair
[D] But I can't bear to breathe it in [F#m] somehow
I'll rise and [Bm] fall with you 'cause [Bm7] you can't fail me [A] now
I'll rise and [Bm] fall with you 'cause [Bm7] you can't fail me [A] now

Salt is sweet upon my mouth, and dark throws sparks against my house
The state of love is a smudge on my brow
But you see through me and you can't fail me now
When you see right through me, you can't fail me now

I've bit off more than I can chew, It's something that I tend to do
When fewer words are what we need and how
Oh, you bite my tongue, and you can't fail me now
I rant and rail but you can't fail me now

Instrumental - Same Chords as verse (extra 4 beats on the final [A])

Bridge
I've [D] lost the thread a [C#m] mong the vines
And [A] hung myself in [F#m] story line
That [Bm] tell the tales I [Bm7] never would [A] allow
God [A] knows the name of [C#m] every bird
That [A] fills my mind like [F#m]angry words
But [Bm] you know all my[Bm7] secret heart avows [Asus4] E

We're [A] taught to love the [F#m] worst of us
And [C#m] mercy more than life but trust me
[D] Mercy's just a warning shot across the [F#m] bow
I live for [Bm] yours and [Bm7] you can't fail me [A]now
I live for your[Bm] mercy, [Bm7] [A]

Finish
[A] you can't [C#m] fail me [F#m] now
No, [Bm] you can't [Bm7] fail me [A] now
