Key: :[D#] (w: Edwin McCain) (BPM: 136) (Original Key: B)
INTRO: [D#] [G#sus2] //
[D#] [G#sus2]
VERSE 1:
The
[D#] strands in your eyes, that
[G#sus2] color them wonderful
[D#] Stop me and steal my
[A#/D] breath
[G#/C]
And
[D#] emeralds from mountains, that
[G#sus2] thrust towards the sky
[D#] Never revealing their
[A#/D] depth
[G#/C]
PRE-CHORUS:
And
[D#] tell
[A#/D] me that
[G#/C] we belong to
[A#/D] gether
[D#] Dress it
[A#/D] up, with the
[G#/C] trappings of
[A#/D] love
I'll
[D#] be capti-
[A#/D]-vated, I'll
[G#/C] hang from your
[A#/D] lips
In-
[D#]-stead of the
[D#] gallows, of
[A#/D] heartache that
[A#/D] hang from a-
[G#/C]-bove
[G#/C] [A#/D] [A#/D]
CHORUS:
[D#] I'll be
[G#sus2] your cryin' shoulder
[D#] I'll be love's
[A#/D] suicide
[G#/C]
And
[D#] I'll be
[G#sus2] better when I'm older
[D#] I'll be, the
[A#/D] greatest
[G#/C] fan of your
[D#] life
[G#sus2] [D#] [A#/D] [G#/C]
VERSE 2:
And
[D#] rain falls
[G#sus2] angry on the tin roof
As
[D#] we lie awake in my
[A#/D] bed
[G#/C]
And
[D#] you're my survival, you're
[G#sus2] my living proof
My
[D#] love is alive and not
[A#/D] dead
[G#/C]
REPEAT PRE-CHORUS:
REPEAT CHORUS:
BRIDGE:
And I've
[Cm7] dropped out, I've burned up, I've
[A#] fought my way back from the dead
[G#]
[Cm7] I Tuned in, I turned on, re
[A#] membered the thing that you
[G#] said
[Db] [A#]
REPEAT CHORUS: [x2]
OUTRO:
[D#] The
[A#/D] greatest
[G#/C] fan of your
[D#] life
[G#sus2] [D#] [A#/D] [G#/C]
[D#] [G#sus2] [D#] [A#/D] [G#/C] //
