Bittersweet ukulele

Bittersweet

• Em

This is not a very well-known song by Flyleaf, but the lyrics are beautiful. This sounds 
really good on piano too.

The intro can also be played through out the verses instead of the chords.
Intro/verses/outro:

Intro

Verse I
      Em          C           Am           Em
The depth of my soul in the depth of your voice
       Em                       D                C
With words I've tried to find since I have been alive
       Em           D              Em
This whole world stopped when you spoke
      Em        C             Am       Em
Your grieving stabs me, I've lost you too
       Em                   D      C
Just hearing your love is never enough
     Em        D             C
Why can't we live with you here

Chorus:
    Em  C
Bittersweet embrace
A       Am
Fit or run in place
Em          C
Don't leave me so thirsty
A        Am
Or else hush this hurry
Em        C
Weight on me
  D     Em      C  D
Weighs more than me
    Em   C   D             Am    Em
So wait with me and we'll stop crying

Verse II is the same as Verse I except the very last chord being C its Em. Idk why, but 
that's just how I played it out by ear lol
Verse II:
The pent up flood gates maintained in your tone
Though its all we can give, it isn't where we live
Through dim reflection we know
The depth of my soul in the depth of your voice
With words I've tried to find since I have been alive
This whole world stopped when you spoke

Chorus

Bridge:
  Em           C
You're a revolutionary
 A           Am
Bittersweet love
 Em             C
You're a revolutionary
  A           Am
Bittersweet love

Chorus
