F#m C#m A E    B     Bm
           Magnificent.
F#m C#m A E    B     Bm
           Magnifice

F#m   C#m  A       E       B         Bm
I was born, I was born to be with you.
                  F#m         C#m  A
In this space and time, after that,
         E                B        Bm
and ever after I haven't had a clue.
               F#m            C#m    A
Only to break rhyme, this foolishness,
             E      B           Bm
can leave a heart black and blue.

Chorus:

F#m   C#m A      E        B               Bm
Only love, only love can leave such a mark.
F#m      C#m A       E        B              Bm
But only love, only love can heal such a scar.

I was born, I was born to sing for you
I didn't have a choice but to lift you up
And sing whatever song you wanted me to
I give you back my voice
From the womb my first cry,
it was a joyful noise

Chorus

F#m   C#m                      A
Justified till we die, you and I will magnify,
E             B      D
oh-oh-oh, magnificent.
    A         C#m
Magnificent, oh.

Chorus

F#m   C#m                      A
Justified till we die, you and I will magnify,
E             B      Bm
oh-oh-oh, magnificent.
    B      Bm    B      Bm F#m
Magnificent, magnificent.
