Intro
Dm F G Dm
[Verse 1]
Dm F G Dm
Running through fields of flowers and smoke
F G Dm
Leaving behind all that we've built
F G Dm
The garden now in ashes and the roof is caving in
F G Dm
A broken hourglass; Blood running thin
[Chorus]
Dm F G Dm
For your life... come to my side
F G Dm
For your life... take me from here
F G Dm
For your life... open up your heart
F G Dm
Let me hear your voice; Let me hear you sing
[Verse 2]
Dm F G Dm
I wasn't on my way down to the marketplace
F G Dm
Wasn't at the schoolyard, where our children play
F G Dm
I wasn't in our home standing in the living room
F G Dm
Or writing you a note that I'll be back soon
[Chorus]
Dm F G Dm
For your life... come to my side
F G Dm
For your life... take me from here
F G Dm
For your life... open up your heart
F G Dm
Let me hear your voice; Let me hear you sing
A7 Dm F G
Oh, let me hear you sing
Dm F G Dm
Let me hear you sing
[Solo]
Dm F G Dm
[Verse]
Dm F G Dm
I don't recognize myself that much anymore
F G Dm
Memories in my pockets and coins on the floor
F G Dm
All I smell is smoke and all I ever see
F G Dm
Is the look in you eyes that look in you eyes
[Chorus]
Dm F G Dm
For your life... come back to my side
F G Dm
For your life... take me from here
F G Dm
For your life... open up your heart
F G Dm
For your life... let me hear your voice
F G Dm
For your life... open up your heart
F G Dm
For your life... let me hear your voice
A7 Dm F G
Oh, let me hear you sing
Dm F G Dm
Let me hear you sing
[Note]
The song is in 3/4 time, but there is some 2-against-3 polyrhythm going on throughout the whole song,
just so you don't get confused by the rhythm.
If you want to improvise the solos over the progression, the solos are mostly in D dorian.
