NO CAPO!!!!

E                         B
You give me joy thats unspeakable
F#m              C#
And I like it, and I like it
E                      B
Your love for me’s irrestible
F#m                C#
I can’t fight it, I can’t fight it

Solo: C#, A, B, then while holding a Bsus:
E|----------------------------------------------------------------
B|----------------------------------------------------------------
G|----------------------------------------------------------------
D|----------------------------------------------------------------
A|---------0------2-----0-----2-----4-----------------------------
E|----------------------------------------------------------------

Play same solo as above:

If life is water I was dry and Tucson dirt

If its a gamble I’d already lost my shirt

If its a journey I was dazed without a clue

I flipped a “U” back to the first love I ever knew

E                         B
You give me joy thats unspeakable
F#m              C#
And I like it, and I like it
E                      B
Your love for me’s irrestible
F#m                 C#
I can’t fight it, I can’t fight it
E                          B
You carried the cross and took my shame
F#m             C# 
I believe it, I believe it
E                         B
You shine your light of amazing grace
F#m            C#
I receive it, I receive it

Repeat solo:
                          
If life’s a battle the invasion is complete

If its a rhythm I have found the perfect beat


If its a Renaissance I’ve got a new birthday

The world don’t give it and the world can’t take it away

E                         B
You give me joy thats unspeakable
F#m              C#
And I like it, and I like it
E                      B
Your love for me’s irrestible
F#m                 C#
I can’t fight it, I can’t fight it
E                          B
You carried the cross and took my shame
F#m             C# 
I believe it, I believe it
E                         B
You shine your light of amazing grace
F#m            C#
I receive it, I receive it

B           E            B          F#
I’m bowed and broken, everything’s new
B           E            B          F#
All that I need, your like water to seed
B           E            B          F#
And how your love rights everything wrong
B           E            B
In my weakness you ever stronger
F# 
Pulling me back where I belong


E                         B
You give me joy thats unspeakable
F#m              C#
And I like it, and I like it
E                      B
Your love for me’s irrestible
F#m                 C#
I can’t fight it, I can’t fight it
E                             B
You carried the cross and took my shame
F#m             C# 
I believe it, I believe it
E                         B
You shine your light of amazing grace
F#m            C#
I receive it, I receive it

Im not sure about the solo but but in the choures the C# is actually an A

TheRa7en - 2005-10-14

Actually, the chorus progression is E B F# C#m so you were almost there, just had the minor on the wrong chord.

Also, the verse chords were missing a minor too, the progression is C#m A B.

Cheers!
