[Intro 1]
[G][Em][Am][Em][D]
[G]

[Verse 1]
But [G]I can't.
[Em]I can't.
I can't.
I [Am]can't.[Em][D][G]
[Dsus4][G][Dsus4][D]
[G]
[Dsus4]So[D][G][Dsus4][D][G]
My father, our father,
[Em]I pray a little letter to you
[Am]Tried to send you a
Christmas,
the [Em]postman couldn't get it [D]through[G]
You're up somewhere in the air,
[Em]wherever your nights are you may sleep
[G]But [Am]I know you live in my heart where
[Em]it's warm and your spirit [D]keep[G]s
I'm just a man, playing simple folk
[Em]Of instinct good and bad,
I'm so [Am]bad
Hate to think you created me
And I [Em]always make you [D]sad[G]
Are you up to healing, [Em]fulfilling?
Believe me, there's no place to go
Oh [Am]no, if you're ready my lord,
I'm willing
Pick me [Em]up and let me kn[D]ow[C]
Keep me in [D]my [G]solitude
Help me deal [Em]with loneliness
[G]If [C]ever I beco[D]me depressed
[G]Touch me and I[Em]'ll do the rest[C]
Pull me [D]from my wicked sin,
[G]show me where [Em]I start again
[A]My needs are beyond the words I say
My
[C]God[G] will not be [Am]tray,
[Dsus4]people never give up[G]
You [D]just never [G]give up
Oh no
People never give up
You just [Dsus4]never giv[D]e up,[G] no[D]
[G]Our
Father, our
Father in
Heaven
[Em]I'll pray a little letter to you
[Am]Tried to send you a
Christmas
The [Em]postman couldn't get it [D]through[C]
Keep me in [D]my [G]solitude
Help me deal [Em]with loneliness
[C]If ever I bec[D]ome depressed
[G]Touch me and [Em]I'll do the rest
[C]Pull me from my [D]wicked [G]sins
Show me where [Em]I start again
[A]My needs are beyond the words I say
And [C]my
[G]God will not [Am]betray
He will [Dsus4]never give up[G]
Just [D]you nev[G]er give up
People nev[D]er give [G]up
Just you [D]never [G]give up
People [D]never give [G]up
My
[Em]God will not betray,
My
[Am]God will not betray,
My
[Em]God will not betra[D]y.[G][Em]
My
God will not betray
[Am]My
God will [Em]not betray
