Intro: Bm7 G D A 2x
Verse 1:
DMorning’s hard,Am7 coffee’s cold
G6Pretending that the day mean mDore than getting old
DStale headlines others dAm7renched in pride
G6Marching to their drums with fDear standing beside
But if I clBm7ose my eyes and thG6row back my head
I can sDee his face and I hear the wAords he said
And my mBm7emories ache and my sG6enses burn
Did he drDeam too late will we ever lAearn
Chorus:
DI, I want to tAestify
My love still lives and brDeathes
And my soul is screaming wAhy
The thoughts won’t let me Dsleep
Don’t let hearts Abreak
And don’t let childrenD cry
Before it get’s tooA late
I want to teBm7stify
Verse 2:
I take what’s said as my daily bread
I turn the page and I turn my head
I pick I choose on the evening news
Caused by cause they fight and one by one they loose
Must I live my days in these concrete ways
Will the fre break through this smokey haze
And I swear tonight I’m gonna find that place
It’s not the love that dies but the understanding ways
Chorus:
DI, I want to tAestify
My love still lives and brDeathes
And my soul is screaming wAhy
The thoughts won’t let me Dsleep
Don’t let hearts Abreak
And don’t let childrenD cry
Before it get’s tooA late
I want to teBm7stify
Bridge:
Rip through the wire that scrGeens in my window
ThDrow open the shade that cBm7overs my mind
I’mC going to touch I’Gve got to believe
The bAell tolls for me
Chorus 2x
and end.
