Living for love    (video)

 

  Em                                    Bm

1.    First you love me and I let you in

C                                         G

    made me feel like I was born again.

Em                                         Bm

    You empowered me, you made me strong,

C                                     G

    built me up and I can do no wrong.

      Em                                 Bm

    I let down my guard, I fell into your arms

          C                                 G

    forgot who I was, I didn't hear the alarms.

                  Em                            Bm

    Now I'm down on my knees, alone in the dark.

                C                                               G

    I was blind to your game, you fired a shot in my heart.

 

  Em                               Bm

Took me to heaven and let me fall down,

  C                        G

now that it's over I'm gonna carry on.

Em                         Bm

 Lifted me up, and watched me stumble,

C                               G

after the heartache, I'm gonna carry on.

Em                   Bm

 Living for love, living for love,

        C                   G

I'm not giving up, I'm gonna carry on.

Em                         Bm

 Living for love, I'm living for love,

  C                      G                            Em

not gonna stop, love's gonna lift me up.

 

     Bm   - C             G                                      Em

+  Love,        lift me up ! Love’s gonna life me up !

     Bm     - C             G

    Love,         lift me up !

 

   Em                                     Bm

2.     I could get caught up in bitterness,

C                                                G

    but I'm not dwelling on this crazy mess.

Em                                  Bm

    I found freedom in the ugly truth,

C                                       G

    I deserve the best and it's not you.

                  Em                                Bm

    You've broken my heart but you can't break it down,

            C                           G

    I've fallen apart, it was lost but now I'm found.

       Em                                     Bm

    I picked up my crown, put it back in my head,

    C                                   G

    I can forgive, but I will never forget.

 

+  CHORUS

 

     Bm   - C             G                                      Em

    Love,       lift me up ! Love’s gonna life me up ! Lift me up...

Em                   Bm

 Living for love, living for love,

        C                   G

I'm not giving up, I'm gonna carry on.

not gonna stop, love's gonna lift me up.
