And does anybody in OhioBmDream of that Spanish citadel?ABut it's no use saying that I love youF#mAnd how that girl really didn't mean a thing to meDFor if anyone should look into your eyesBmIt's not forgiveness that they're gonna see

A F#m Dm6You hear her voice - "How could you do that?"You hear her voice - "How could you do that?"

So I walked outside in the brightSunshine and lovers pass bySmiling and jokingBut they don't know the fool I wasWhy should they care what was lostWhat was broken?

But if I call, I know I won't have to say itYou'll hear my voice - something is bound to betray it

But do people living in ToledoKnow that their name hasn't travelled very well?And does anybody in OhioDream of that Spanish citadel?But it's no use saying that I love youAnd how that girl really didn't mean a thing to meFor if anyone should look into your eyesIt's not forgiveness that they're gonna see

But do people living in ToledoKnow that their name hasn't travelled very well?And does anybody in OhioDream of that Spanish citadel?But we still have Florence, AlabamaWe don't have Paris, and we don't have Rome

These walls were lined with pictures

Page 5: Painted From Memory

Remember the glass we charged in celebration?But now I fill my life upWith all that I can to deaden this sensation

Do you recognize the faceFixed in that fine silver frameWere you really so unhappy then?You never said

So this house is empty nowThere's nothing I can doTo make you want to staySo tell me howAm I supposed to live without you?

Cm9 Eb/F Bbmaj7/DOh, if I could just become forgetful D7 Gm7When night seems endless Gm7/F Em7b5Does the extinguished candle careG/AAbout the darkness?

It's funny how my mem'ryWill bring you so close then make you disappear

Meanwhile all our friends must chooseWho they will favour, who they will loseHang the garland high or close the doorAnd throw away the key

This house is empty nowThere's no one living hereYou have to care aboutThis house is empty nowThere's nothing I can doTo make you want to staySo tell me howAm I supposed to live without you?

This house is empty nowThere's no one living hereYou have to care aboutThis house is empty nowThere's nothing I can doTo make you want to staySo tell me howAm I supposed to live without you?

What's Her Name Today? Dm7What's her name today? Fmaj9/6What's her name today? Em7She could be anyone Gm7/CI might have known you'd leave her crying Dm7What's her name again? Fmaj9/6You should be ashamed Em7 How could you treat her so unspeakably?Gm7/C Am7Or did you think she was a different girl?Bbmaj7 CFor as the radio played in the bedroom wall Dm7What was that name you called her?Ab Fm7 GbWas she the one who took away your pride Ebm7And your reason? Ab Fm7 Oh, why did you decide thatCm7 Fm7You'd punish any girl you meet Cm7 Csus4 C7To try and make that feeling go away?

What's her name today?What's her name today?Is her hair hanging down?Or maybe it's fixed with a ribbonAre her eyes still blue?

Page 13: Painted From Memory

Should she trust in you?

Because it's a lonely worldShe wants to believe for a while in all the things you sayBut as the radio played in the bedroom wallWhat was that name you called her?

Isn't her smile reminiscent of someone else?Well, is it or isn't it?Oh, why did you decide thatYou'd punish any girl you meetTo try and make that feeling go away?

What's her name today?Is she going to staySo you can ruin her?And soon she'll be twisted in chiffon

Dress her like a dollString her like a pearlShe hears peals of bells, but it's hard to tellNow that she's hung up like a chandelier

FmWhat's her name?

What's her name? Ab DbWhat's her name today?

God Give Me StrengthTabbed by John Lewitt <[email protected]>

Notes: This song is ideally suited to the piano, but a strong voice can carry it on the guitar. The 'Asus' chordsin the bridge are more of a counter point, they are usedin the song but not as the base of the song.

Intro: Gm9 D (4x)

Bm G DNow I have nothing, so God give me strengthC#m7 C#m F#m7'Cause I'm weak in her [his] wakeC#m F#m F#7And if I'm strong I might still breakBm A G And I don't have anything to shareBm E A That I won't throw away into the air

G AThat song is sung outG A This bell is rung outEm F#m A [He] She was the light that I'd blessEm F#m A[He] She took my last chance at happiness

Page 14: Painted From Memory

Gm7 Bm Gm9 Em D G Em A So God give me strength, God give me strength

(second verse same as first)

I can't hold onto [him] her, God give me strengthWhen the phone doesn't ringAnd I'm lost in imaginingEverything that kind of love is worthAs I tumble back down to the earthThat song is sung outThis bell is rung out[He] She was the light that I'd bless[He] She took my last chance at happinessSo God give me strength,

Gm9 Em D G EmGod if [he'd] she'd grant me [his] her indulgence and decline(e, f#, g#) Asus4 A Asus2I might as well wipe [him] her from my memory(e, f#, g#) Asus4 A Asus2Fracture the spell as [he] she becomes my enemyBm E AMaybe I was washed out like a lip-print on his shirtBm E A See, I'm only human, I want him to hurtAsus4 A A7I want him, I want him to hurt

[instrumental - repeat structure of first verse, these last two lines are picked up as you reach the end of the verse)]

Since I lost the power to pretendThat there could ever be a happy ending

That song is sung outThis bell is rung out[He] She was the light that I'd bless[He] She took my last chance at happinessSo God give me strength, God give me strength

Gm D

Wipe her from my life...I might as well...God give me strength...God give me strength...I might as well
