Chords

by Emmylou Harris, from her album 'Stumble Into Grace' (2003) Written by Emmylou Harris & Malcolm Burn Verse:
G                        G  
O the walls are closin' in 

                    C
I can feel it in my bones

                           D
Like water risin' up to my chin

                         G
Another long night to be alone

                      G
I could go out on the town

                        C
Talk too much and laugh too loud

                         D
If I'm already on my way down

                              G
I might as well just work the crowd
Chorus:
        C       G
Can you hear me now

        D
Can you hear me now

        C       G
Can you hear me now

        D       G
Can you hear me now
Verse:
                      G
O the stories I could tell

                          C
Sometimes I really hit my stride

                                   D 
We make our own Heaven and our own Hell

                              G
Tryin' to get across to the other side 

                         G
But everyday ends up the same

                       C 
One step up, two steps back 

                           D
Like some old silent movie frame 

                         G
Zoom in close, then fade to black
Chorus:
        C       G
Can you hear me now

        D
Can you hear me now

        C       G
Can you hear me now

        D       G
Can you hear me now
Bridge:
C                             Em
How did the load get to be so heavy 

  G                              C
I used to wear my troubie like a crown 

Em                            C
A bad flood's poundin' on the levee

        G
And l'm gonna need some help 

           D
To hold my ground
[Instrumental] Verse:
                       G
But I'm sinkin' like a stone

                                    C
To where in solitude this life I'll spend

                               D
In the coldest place I've ever known

                            G        
I'm here just waitin' until the end 

                G
I send up my S.O.S.

                            C
A message in a bottle set out to sea

                          D
It just reads "Soul in distress" 

                            G
But nobody ever got back to me
Chorus:
        C       G
Can you hear me now

        D
Can you hear me now

        C       G
Can you hear me now

        D       G
Can you hear me now

        C       G
Can you hear me now

        D
Can you hear me now

        C       G
Can you hear me now

        D       G
Can you hear me now
