[Intro]
Bm7 G D A x2
D D
[Verse 1]
D Cadd9 Morning’s hard, coffee’s cold G6 D Pretending that the days mean more than getting old D Cadd9 Stale headlines, others drenched in pride G6 D Marching to their drum with fear standing beside Bm7 G6 But if I close my eyes and throw back my head D A I can see his face and I hear the words he said Bm7 G6 And my memories ache and my senses burn D A Did he dream too late, will we ever learn
[Chorus]
D A I, I want to testify D My love still lives and breathes A And my soul is screaming why D The thoughts won’t let me sleep A Don’t let hearts break D/F# And don’t let children cry A Before it gets too late Bm7 I want to testify
G D A
[Verse 2]
D Cadd9 I take what’s said as my daily bread G6 D I turn the page and I turn my head D Cadd9 I pick, I choose on the evening news G6 D Cause by cause they fight and one by one they lose Bm7 G6 Must I live my days in these concrete ways D A Will the fire break through this smokey haze Bm7 G6 And I swear tonight I’m gonna find that place D A It’s not the love that dies but the understanding ways
[Chorus]
D A I, I want to testify D My love still lives and breathes A And my soul is screaming why D The thoughts won’t let me sleep A Don’t let hearts break D/F# And don’t let children cry A Before it gets too late C I want to testify
[Bridge]
(C) G Rip through the wire that screens in my window D Bm Throw open the shades that cover my mind C G I’m going to touch and I’ve got to believe A That the bell tolls for me
[Chorus]
D A I, I want to testify D My love still lives and breathes A And my soul is screaming why D The thoughts won’t let me sleep A Don’t let hearts break D/F# And don’t let children cry A Before it gets too late D I want to testify
[Instrumental Chorus]
