Intro:

C  Csus2  Csus4   C
                  

Verse:
C                                  Csus2
Your side of the bed's made empty, left a few months back
      Csus4
Every breath I'm taking's labored, can a man die—
       C
From that?
     C                           Csus2
I've called up every friend I've ever had and pushed away
       Csus4
Their small acts of forgiveness give me hope for you and me
    C
Someday
Pre-Chorus:
G                                  Am
I'm named after great and faithful men
          F
They were said to talk with God
                G               C   G/B   Am   G
And that, I can never understand
Am          G              F            C
Trying to replace you with lookalikes on High Street
    Am           G
But lookalikes don't look just like the
 F
girl that called my street—
 Am
Home
Chorus:
F        C              Am               G
When I ask God why, I'm left with one to blame
   F         C            F    Am    C
My Christian name, oh, my Christian  name
C   G  C
Am  G  C
       

Verse:
    C                             Csus2
Oh, here we go again, darlin' I'm singing drunk tonight
  Csus4
I pour 'em tall for you and me, then you and me, and you—
  C
Again
Pre-Chorus:
G                                  Am
I'm named after great and faithful men
          F
They were said to talk with God
                G               C   G/B   Am   G
And that, I can never understand
Am          G              F            C
Trying to replace you with lookalikes on High Street
    Am           G
But lookalikes don't look just like the
 F
girl that called my street—
 Am
Home
Chorus:
F        C              Am               G
When I ask God why, I'm left with one to blame
   F         C            F         C
My Christian name, oh, my Christian name
   F         C            F    Am   C
My Christian name, oh, my Christian name

Pre-Chorus:
G                                  Am
I'm named after great and faithful men
          F
They were said to talk with God
                G
And that, I can never understand
Chorus:
F        C              Am               G
When I ask God why, I'm left with one to blame
   F         C            F         C
My Christian name, oh, my Christian name
F        C              G                Am
When I ask God why, I'm left with one to blame
   F         C            F         C
My Christian name, oh, my Christian name
   F    Em    C            F    G    C
My Christian  name, oh, my Christian name

Outro:
  C                                    Csus2
I pray you pray for me each night, wherever the hell you stay
     Csus4
I'll pour 'em tall for you and me, and you and my—
Christian name
