You Must Love Me chords and lyrics - JAY-Z

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[C]Throughout my life (uh[Dm] huh uh huh uh)
No [Am]mat ter what [Dm]I've done
[Fm](rig[E]ht)
You've been [Fdim]merciful and your
[Dm]love [F]endureth (yeah)
Through all [Am]things [Dm](yeah)
For [Am]that, I am eternally grateful

[Verse 2]
[Am]Since my date of birth
bought you nothing but hurt
Play those video games,
stole change from ya purse
Sat [Dm]on the cold court bench 'til I
was arraigned in ya skirt
Saw the pain in ya face,
still you maintained a smirk
All [Am]you did was motivate me, "Don't
let 'em hold you back"
What I do? I turned around
and I sold you crack
I was [Dm]a bastard for that,
still I'm drowning in shame
Just remember one thing now,
you're not to blame

[Verse 3]
You [Am]was newly separated tryin'
to escape ya world
And through my thirst,
I didn't help you, I just made things worse
I hated [Dm]me and everybody
that created crack
Had me thinkin' the newest
kicks and the latest gat
Still [Am]haven't apologized,
so please play this back
While I try to come to terms
with such a heinous act
You know [Dm]in more than one way
cocaine numbs the brain
All I did was think about how

[Verse 4]
the funds once came
[Am]Then I ran across this memory
and it stung the brain
How can you ever destroy the beauty
from which one [Dm]came
That's a savage, you're the reason
Why me and these beats make a marriage
Why I rhyme above average
and I ain't shit
Glad [Am]you got yourself together,
no thanks to me
Strong and beautiful the way
thangs should be
You must [Dm]love me

[Verse 5]
Say that you love me [Dm](you must love me)
[Am]All I know say that you must love
me (you must [Dm]love me)
Ohh yeah

[Verse 6]
We used [Am]to fight every night
but I never would suffer
Just smile, my big brother's
tryna make me tougher
As [Dm]we grew fussing and fighting continued
As I plundered through ya stuff
and snuck ya clothes to school
Got [Am]intense, real intense as we got older
Never believed it would lead to be poppin'
one in your shoulder
Where [Dm]my rings? Knew you had
it 'cause you took too long
As Mickey, Annie and the girl
that bought it looked on

[Verse 7]
Huffin' [Am]and puffin', gun in my hand,
told you step outside
Hoping you said no but
you hurt my pride
Made [Dm]our way down the steps
Maybe you thought
it was just a threat
Or maybe ya life was just that crazy
And you was beggin' for death
Try [Am]to justify this in my young
mind
But the adrenaline and my ego
hurt combined
Drove me [Dm]berserk,
saw the devil in your eyes
High off more than weed
Confused, I just closed my young
eyes and squeezed

[Verse 8]
What [Am]a sound! Opened
my eyes just in time
To see ya stumbling to the ground
Damn, what the fuck I done now?
Runnin' [Dm]around in a circle
thinking I'm assed out
Hot gun burnin' my waist,
ran straight to Jaz' house
Like [Am]a stranger,
damn I just shot my nigga
And ran off into the night as if
it was not my nigga
Left [Dm]the scene,
how could I go out that way?
Still you asked to see me in
the hospital the next day
You must [Am]love me

[Verse 9]
What after [Am]all the wrong I've
done (you must [Dm]love me)
I know you must (you must
love [Am]me)

[Verse 10]
Everything in my power and within my frame
[Am]
To protect you from this life and keep
you away from the [Dm]game
But you was one of the few
people that I can trust
And the fact of the matter,
I slang these pies for us
You put [Am]the pressure on me daily,
rarely would you let it go
Was a thousand and one times
I had to tell you no
But it [Dm]was one of those days
when nobody was around
And I needed emergency
trip out of town

[Verse 11]
Searched [Am]my mental Rolodex for all
the numbers I know
As you stared in my [Dm]face
asking me could you go
I agreed, said, "Send her,
everything'll go smooth
Just tell her what to do and everything'll
go through"
Strapped [Am]her body with them thangs
as you boarded the plane
Couldn't explain the strange feeling
that I caught in the vein
I'm think[Dm]ing, why would I send you when
I knew it ain't right?
I'm thinking, what would make
you sacrifice ya life?
You must've [Am]love me

[Verse 12]
After [Am]everything that I've done [C]wrong
[Dm](you must love me)
I know inside you [Am]must love
me (you must love me)
[Dm](Y ou must love me)
(You must [Am]love me)
I know that you love [Dm]me
(you must [Am]love me)
You showed me I know
it (you must [C]love [Dm]me)
I know (you must [Am]love me)

[Verse 13]
Say that you love me
Say that you love me
[Dm](you must love me)
I know you must love [Am]me
(you must love me)
(You must [Dm]love me)
Oh yes, you do (you must love [Am]me)
Inside I know it
You've always shown it
(you must [Dm]love me)
You [Am]love me, yeah- yeah
Oh yeah (you must love me)
[Dm]I know that you love me
(You must love [Am]me)
(You must love me)
