Key: :[G#] (w: Edwin McCain) (BPM: 136) (Original Key: B)
INTRO: [G#] [C#sus2] //
[G#] [C#sus2]
VERSE 1:
The
[G#] strands in your eyes, that
[C#sus2] color them wonderful
[G#] Stop me and steal my
[D#/G] breath
[C#/F]
And
[G#] emeralds from mountains, that
[C#sus2] thrust towards the sky
[G#] Never revealing their
[D#/G] depth
[C#/F]
PRE-CHORUS:
And
[G#] tell
[D#/G] me that
[C#/F] we belong to
[D#/G] gether
[G#] Dress it
[D#/G] up, with the
[C#/F] trappings of
[D#/G] love
I'll
[G#] be capti-
[D#/G]-vated, I'll
[C#/F] hang from your
[D#/G] lips
In-
[G#]-stead of the
[G#] gallows, of
[D#/G] heartache that
[D#/G] hang from a-
[C#/F]-bove
[C#/F] [D#/G] [D#/G]
CHORUS:
[G#] I'll be
[C#sus2] your cryin' shoulder
[G#] I'll be love's
[D#/G] suicide
[C#/F]
And
[G#] I'll be
[C#sus2] better when I'm older
[G#] I'll be, the
[D#/G] greatest
[C#/F] fan of your
[G#] life
[C#sus2] [G#] [D#/G] [C#/F]
VERSE 2:
And
[G#] rain falls
[C#sus2] angry on the tin roof
As
[G#] we lie awake in my
[D#/G] bed
[C#/F]
And
[G#] you're my survival, you're
[C#sus2] my living proof
My
[G#] love is alive and not
[D#/G] dead
[C#/F]
REPEAT PRE-CHORUS:
REPEAT CHORUS:
BRIDGE:
And I've
[Fm7] dropped out, I've burned up, I've
[D#] fought my way back from the dead
[C#]
[Fm7] I Tuned in, I turned on, re
[D#] membered the thing that you
[C#] said
[Gb] [D#]
REPEAT CHORUS: [x2]
OUTRO:
[G#] The
[D#/G] greatest
[C#/F] fan of your
[G#] life
[C#sus2] [G#] [D#/G] [C#/F]
[G#] [C#sus2] [G#] [D#/G] [C#/F] //
