For the life of me (video)

G - C - G - C (2x)

G C G - C

1. How can there be a song without the music,

G D G

how can there be a wave without the sea ?

G G7 C

The lighting needs the thunder as a speaking voice, oh, yeah,

G D G - C - G - C

and I must have you for the life of me.

G C G

2. How can there be a baby with no crying ?

G D G

A future with no past can never be.

G G7 C

A humming bird can't live unless it's free to fly, oh,

G D G

and I must have you for the life of me.

C

I know that sunshine follows rain,

G

I know that pleasure follows pain,

D D7 G G7

and I know that I must have you somehow, o....h.

C

Every ship waits for the crew,

G

and every rose waits for the dew,

C Bm Am D D7

but I need you right now, o...h.

G C G

3. How can there be an end with no beginning ?

G D G

So run to me, I'm waiting helplessly,

G - G7 C

and break these shackles of impatience, oh, make me live,

G D D C - G

for I must have you for the life of me.
