NOTE: You can regularly strum all chords it doesn't matter, but sometimes i strike the verses with continuous, palm-muted downstrokes to the beat of that repetitive sound effect. Until the last lines ("Cause you're right there" and "I was your starlight"). Then i start pulling my palm away while playing the last line making it clearer and clearer then start strumming normally the second the chorus starts... Just a suggestion :)
[Intro] FDmFDm
FDm You had the blue note sapphire eyes, Csus2 To back up all those gazes Bbsus2 To pierce my guard and take my soul off Csus2 To faraway places Bbsus2 Told me I"ll never be alone, Cause you're right there
FDm We took a gamble with this love, Csus2 Like sailing to the storm Bbsus2 With the waves rushing over to take us, Csus2 We were battling against the tide Bbsus2 You were my beacon of salvation, I was your starlight
FDm So don't cry for your love, Bbsus2 Cry tears of joy Csus2 Cause you're alive cradled in love FDm So don't cry for your love, Bbsus2 Cry tears of joy Csus2Bbsus2F Cause you're alive cradled in love uh-uh-oveeeee
FDmFDm
I kept the love you gave me alive, And now I carry it with me I know it's just a tear drop from mother earth, But in it I can hear a dolphin sing Telling me I'll never be alone, I know you're right there
So with the fire still burning bright, I wanna gaze into your light If I could see my fortune there, You know how the flames can hypnotize
Do i even dare to speak out your name for fear like it sounds like, Like a lover
So don't cry for your love, Cry tears of joy Cause you're alive cradled in love So don't cry for your love, Cry tears of joy Cause you're alive cradled in love
So don't cry for your love, Cry tears of joy Cause you're alive cradled in love So don't cry for your love, Cry tears of joy Cause you're alive cradled in loveeeee uh-uh-oveeeeee
Outro: Bbsus2 and F until the end. Last strum is one single F strum. :) Hope yall enjoy playing!!
