[Verse:]
BmBillie C#mHoliday on the DradioEm  
My sluggish F#mheart is beating Gseven beats too AslowBm  
   BmAnother C#msad song and aDnother shot of blueEm  
Cold and F#munconcerned are Ganything but Anew
[Pre-chorus:]
He said "GLove endures all Athings"
And it Dhurts to think He's F#mright
If I Gmark the span of Bmfailure
Is his Aburden just as light?
[Chorus:]
GI am, SBmpartan
GClose my heart so Bmtight
GJesus, BmSave me
Gfrom myself toEmnightBm  
Limping tC#mhrough the world
There's a kDnowing look or twoEm  
Is it just the cF#mripples here
who Gunderstand the Atruth?Bm  
  BmWhy is love so C#mpainful
Why Ddo we always lose?Em  
paving pathways F#mfor the lost
the Gbitter, and reAcluse?
[Pre-Chorus:]
He said "GLove endures all Athings"
and it Dhurts to think it's F#mtrue
did it Gnail Him to a Bmcross
did it Acrucify Him too?
[Back to Chorus, instead of ending on Em just go straight from the G to the D for the bridge]
The Dangels are Bmsinging Gover the Aplains
the Dshepherds are Bmquaking, Gechoing refArains
And Dall of our sBmlogans deGsigned to take aGway the pain
meant Bmnothing to the F#mSon of God that Gnight in BethleAhem.
[Back to chorus, end on Dm, then final chord of Am to wrap it up!]
