Intro: Bm7 G D A 2x
Verse 1:
D Am7 Morning’s hard, coffee’s cold G6 D Pretending that the day mean more than getting old D Am7 Stale headlines others drenched in pride G6 D Marching to their drums 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 And don’t let children cry A Before it get’s too late Bm7 I want to testify
Verse 2:
I take what’s said as my daily bread
I turn the page and I turn my head
I pick I choose on the evening news
Caused by cause they fight and one by one they loose
Must I live my days in these concrete ways
Will the fre break through this smokey haze
And I swear tonight I’m gonna find that place
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 And don’t let children cry A Before it get’s too late Bm7 I want to testify
Bridge:
G Rip through the wire that screens in my window D Bm7 Throw open the shade that covers my mind C G I’m going to touch I’ve got to believe A The bell tolls for me
Chorus 2x
and end.
