Spartan

• Bm

Here it is guys, keep in mind the changes here won’t be the same as the track, but this 
cool if you want to play it slower and acoustically. If you can reach those high notes 
course!

Verse:


Bm     C#m            D         Em
Billie Holiday on the radio
            F#m              G               A        Bm
My sluggish heart is beating seven beats too slow
Bm         C#m           D                      Em
   Another sad song and another shot of blue
         F#m             G            A
Cold and unconcerned are anything but new

Pre-chorus:

         G                A
He said "Love endures all things"
       D                   F#m
And it hurts to think He's right
     G                Bm
If I mark the span of failure
       A
Is his burden just as light?

Chorus:

G      Bm
I am, Spartan
G                 Bm
Close my heart so tight
G      Bm
Jesus, Save me
G             Em         Bm
from myself tonight

         C#m
Limping through the world
           D                    Em
There's a knowing look or two
                F#m
Is it just the cripples here
    G              A          Bm
who understand the truth?
Bm               C#m
  Why is love so painful
    D                      Em
Why do we always lose?
                F#m
paving pathways for the lost
    G             A
the bitter, and recluse?

Pre-Chorus:

         G                A
He said "Love endures all things"
       D                   F#m
and it hurts to think it's true
       G             Bm
did it nail Him to a cross
       A
did it crucify Him too?

Back to Chorus, instead of ending on Em just go straight from the G to the D for the bridge

    D          Bm      G        A
The angels are singing over the plains
    D             Bm       G          A
the shepherds are quaking, echoing refrains
    D           Bm       G               G
And all of our slogans designed to take away the pain
      Bm             F#m             G              A
meant nothing to the Son of God that night in Bethlehem.

Back to chorus, end on Dm, then final chord of Am to wrap it up!
