Lyrics

There’s I’ve been a walk ing heart ache; a I’ve vine made a mess of me.

The per son (E5)that I’ve been late ly ain’t who (B7sus)I wan na be.

But, but you stay here (E5)be right be side me and watch as (B7sus)the storm blows through.

And (F#m7)I need you.

God gave me you (E)for the ups and downs.

God gave me you (E)for the days of doubt.

For when I think I’ve lost (E)my way, there are no words here left (Bsus)to say.

It’s true:

God (Bsus)gave me you.

There’s more here than what we’re see ing, a I’ve vine made a spir a cy:

that you, son (E5)an an gel love ly, could some (B7sus)how fall for me.

But, but You’ll al ways (E5)be love’s great mar tyr; and I’ll be (B7sus)the flat tered fool.

But (F#m7)I need you.

God gave me you (E)for the ups and downs.

God gave me you (E)for the days of doubt.

For when I think I’ve lost (E)my way, there are no words here left (Bsus)to say.

It’s true:

God (Bsus)gave me you.

God (Bsus)gave me you.

On my own, I’m on ly

half of what I could be.

I

can’t do with out you.

We are stitched to geth er;

and what love has teth ered, I

pray we nev er un do.

God gave me you for the ups and downs.

God gave me you for the days of doubt.

God God (Bsus)gave me you,

(B)gave me you,

gave me you.
