Sacrifice Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]You [G]know, I guess you're wondering
why [C]a man would want to sing
a sad, slow, and lonely [G]song.
But you'd be surprised
what a man will [C]do
when the one he loves is gone.
[G]People, I've only been in love
two times in my life
[C]And as strange as it seems,
it was the same girl [G]twice
Oh, this girl made me weep,
[C]and she made me moan
She broke [G]my little heart
and left me [C]all alone
You see, my heart's been broken
more times
[G]than the Ten Commandments
And I've been made to cry
more [C]times
than a weepin' woman
You understand what I'm sayin'?
So if you [G]see a man
out there tonight walkin'
With tears in his eyes
[C]and pain in his heart
It'll [G]be me
If I had one last song to [C]sing
I believe it would go something like [D]this
Tonight I [G]walk, baby
These street[C]s are long
I can feel [G]the pain coming on [C]strong
I got [G]no one to [B]say sweet things to me
[Em]I'm lonely, [D]lonely as [C]a man can be
Tryna make me [G]pay
Hey, by [Em]living [D]my life, a sac[C]rifice
See love ain't [G]nothing but
sacrifice
Sometimes [D]I wonder,
how many [G]years, baby
Oh [C]Lord, is there in front of me
Before I find [G]someone who
really loves me
Who's gonna set [C]my heart free
[G]Only the good Lord above [B]knows
Lord, [Em]what have I done?
[D]Caused all these pai[C]ns and woes
She's trying to make [G]me pay[Em][D][C][G]
I [Em]went to my [D]dear old mother
and said, Mother dear, [G]mother dear,
mother dear, mother dear,
Your baby boy [C]got pain in his heart
The girl [D]I love [G]tonight
Oh, we're so [C]far apart
She looked at [G]me with tears in her eyes
And replied by [C]saying these words to me
Oh, [D]each [G]night, you pray
Oh, [C]she'll come and break
these chains one day
You got [G]no one, no heart, [B]one
In [Em]other words,
[D]my baby boy's all [C]alone
She's trying to make him [G]pay,
but he can't
[C]She it, she can't take it
She's [G]trying to make him pay,
but she can[C]'t make him
She can't make him [G]pay, oh
I can't pay the [C]price
I can't [G]pay the [G]sacrifice
[C]
