Eric Clapton – The Core (Guitar)

E                    A
Every morning when I wake

E                            A    E     A     E    D   A
A feeling soon begins to overtake me

E                     A      E
Ringing in my ears resounds through my brain

   D          A      E     A     E    D   A
It finally surrounds me

E                        A
There is fire, there is life

E                     A     E      A     E
There is passion, fever and fury

E                          A
There is love and there is hate

E                     A     E      A     E
There is longing, anger and worry

E/B   B         D/A   A     E/B   B         D/A      A
          Oh, I am a flame,         feel it touch my heart

E/B   B            D/A   A           D/A      A
          And down at my core is the hottest part

D/A   A   E/B     B          A      E        A
I can run without fear

E                       A
If it should become too cold

E                       A         E     A     E    D   A
I know I can endure the frostbite

E                              A
Oh, a blanket then I'll wrap around me

E                         A  E     A     E    D   A
I keep myself so close to my side

E                         A
No one then can cause me harm

E                        A      E       A     E    D   A
Just as the river runs into the sea

E                             A
'cause every day, your fire alarm

   E                                       A     E    D   A
Is deafening the silence all around me

E/B   B         D/A   A     E/B   B         D/A      A
          Oh, I am a flame,         feel it touch my heart

E/B   B            D/A   A           D/A      A
          And down at my core is the hottest part

D/A   A   E/B     B          A      E        A                           E
I can run without fear                       It's burning, it's burning

E                         A
You can trust me, we can laugh

E                            A         E     A     E    D   A
Together we can share our sorrow

E                       A
I will give you secrets too

E                          A    E     A     E    D   A
An attitude that you may borrow

E                   A
Gypsy woman said to me

E                            A         E     A     E    D   A
One thing you must bear in your mind

E                          A
You are young and you are free

E                            A         E     A     E    D   A
But damned if you're deceased in your own lifetime

E/B   B          D/A     A     E/B   B         D/A      A
         Oh, you have a flame,          feel it in your heart

E/B   B            D/A   A           D/A      A
         And down at the core is the hottest part

D/A   A   E/B     B          A      E        A                           E
We can run without fear                      It's burning, it's burning
