This is a great song from the new album, Working On a Dream.
Capo 3 (Key F)
Life Itself
Intro: Bm G D/F# A x 2
Verse 1:
Bm G D/F# A Bm G D/F# A
We met down in the valley, where the wine of love and destruction flowed
Bm G D/F# A Bm G D/F# A
There in that curve of darkness where flowers of temptation grow
Bm G D/F# A Bm G D/F# A
I left the rest for the others it was you and nothing else
Bm G D/F# A
G D/F# A
You felt so good to me baby, good as life itself
Chorus:
Em F#m G
You were life itself, rushing over me
Em F#m G
Life itself, the wind in black elms
Em F#m G
Life itself, in your heart and in your eyes
G Bm G D/F# A
I can't make it without you
Verse 2:
Bm G D/F# A Bm G D/F# A
I knew you were in trouble, anyone could tell
Bm G D/F# A Bm G D/F# A
You carried your little black book from which all your secrets fell
Bm G D/F# A Bm G D/F# A
You squandered all your riches, your love, your beauty and your wealth
Bm G D/F# A Bm G D/F# A
Like you had no further use for, for life itself
Chorus:
Em F#m G
You were life itself, rushing over me
Em F#m G
Life itself, the wind in black elms
Em F#m G
Life itself, in your heart and in your eyes
G Bm G D/F# A
I can't make it without you
Guitar Solo
Verse 3:
Bm G D/F# A Bm G D/F# A
Why do the things that we treasure most slip away in time
Bm G D/F# A Bm G D/F# A
Till to the music we grow deaf and to God's beauty blind
Bm G D/F# A Bm G D/F# A
Why do the things that connect us slowly pull us apart
Bm G D/F# A Bm G D/F# A
Till we fall away in our own darkness, stranger to our own hearts
Chorus:
Em F#m G
And to life itself, rushing over me
Em F#m G
Life itself, the wind in black elms
Em F#m G
Life itself, in your heart and in your eyes
G Bm G D/F# A
I can't make it without you
Em
So here's one for the road
F#m G
Here's one to your health
Em F#m G
And to life itself, rushing over me
Em F#m G
Life itself, the wind in black elms
Em F#m G
Life itself, in your heart and in your eyes
G Bm G D/F# A
I can't make it without you
