Best of Spirits
[Intro]
Gm
Gave my life
  Emb5          F     Db C
I gave my life away
1.
    Gm       F       C
Got tired of feeling dirty
    Gm            F      C
Got burned out on living sin
Gm          F
Woke up one morning
C                   Bb
wondering where I'd been
          C      Bb
But I was still alive
          C      Bb
Yes I was still alive
     Gm
So I gave my life
  Emb5         F      Db C
I gave my life away
2.

When I had
Gm       F      C
drunk up all my money
             Gm
And paid for love
 F          C
 out in the street
          Gm     F
And after living through some
C                         Bb
scenes I didn't want to repeat
      C      Bb
I was still alive
      C      Bb
I was still alive
     Gm
So I gave my life
  Emb5          F      Db C
I gave my life away
3.
         Gm        F      C
I was surprised it was so easy
             Gm         F       C
There wasn't anything I had to do
  Gm     F            C
I put my faith in the Father
             Bb
   to see me through
          C      Bb
And I was still alive
          C      Bb
Yes I was still alive
           Gm
Although I gave my life
  Emb5          F      Db C
I gave my life away
[Bridge]
        Db         Eb
I'm not asking for anything
     Db              Eb
  He knows all my needs
      Db        Eb
Gonna follow my spirit
      Db      Eb
  Wherever it leads
    Db           C
And thank the Creator
     Db          C
  By word and by deeds
Db    Eb      F
   He gave me FREEDOM (FREEDOM!)
4.
        Gm  F         C
Got no idea what will happen to me
           Gm      F           C
How I will live -- where I can go
      Gm      F     C
But I finally understand that
                         Bb
  I don't really need to know
            C      Bb
Because I'm still alive
         C       Bb
  And at last I'm free
           Gm
Because he gave me life
              Emb5
  And he just gave my life
                 F   Db  Eb  F
   right back to me
