Sacrifice - Elton John

    Sacrifice (Listen to midi)    (Listen to sample)

 

    C - Em - F       C - Em - F

 

                          C   - F                              Dm     - G

1. It's a human sign,       when things go wrong,

                                        C        - F                              Dm     - G

    when the scent of her lingers,     and temptation's strong.

                 Am           - F                            Dm   - G

    Into the boundary       of each married man,

                                     Am       - F                          G

    sweet deceit comes calling,        and negativity lands.

 

                  C     - F                       Dm    - G

Cold cold heart,      hard done by you,

                              C               - F                        G

some things look better baby,     just passing through.

                   C                                 Dm

And it's no sacrifice, just a simple word,

                        G                                 C

it's two hearts living in two separate worlds.

                                      F                      Em   F        C

But it's no sacrifice, no sacrifice, it's no sacrifice at all.

 

     - Am - F                             C          - F               Dm     - G

2.               Mutual misunderstanding       after the fact,

                       C                 - F                   Dm   - G

    sensitivity builds a prison,    in the final act.

                    Am       - F                    Dm         - G

    We lose direction,      no stone unturned,

                      Am           - F                          G

    no tears to damn you,     when jealousy burns.  

 

                    Em - F     C - F - Dm - G    C-F-Dm-G

+ CHORUS                                                              + CHORUS

- F - Dm -          G              C - F - Dm       G              C - F - d

                It`so sacrifice at all,             no sacrifice at all ......
