Chords

This is a great song from the new album, Working On a Dream. 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
