Sacrifice

Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Available on the album Sleeping with the Past

Db Ab Gb  /Ab

                   Db
It's a human sign
Gb                    Ebm     Ab
When things go wrong
Db                                 Gb
When the scent of her lingers
Ebm                     Ab
And temptation's strong
Bbm           Gb
Into the boundary
Ebm                     Ab
Of each married man
                                 Bbm
Sweet deceit comes calling
Ab
And negativity lands

Db             Gb
Cold cold heart
Ebm               Ab 
Hard done by you
Db                             Gb
Some things looking better baby
Ab
Just passing through


Db
And it's no sacrifice
Ebm
Just a simple word
Ebm
It's two hearts living
Gb Gb/Ab Db
In two separate worlds
Db
But it's no sacrifice
Ebm
No sacrifice
Ebm Gb Gb/Ab Db Ab Gb /A
It's no sacrifice at all


Mutual misunderstanding
After the fact
Sensitivity builds a prison
In the final act

We lose direction
No stone unturned
No tears to damn you
When jealousy burns

Course

Course

Db Ab Gb /A 
It's no sacrifice at all
