Chords

Here is a beautiful new song from Sarah's album Shine On - released today: May 5, 2014. When I play this on the acoustic guitar, I like to play an Fmaj7 instead of an F in the verses - I think it sounds pretty that way. I also like how the Em7 sounds. This set of chords is not perfect - I'm still working out the kinks - but they really are good enough to play along with the song and sound good. Any and all suggestions are welcome! --- INTRO --- C Em7 F (x2) --- VERSE ---
    C       Em7        F
It would be if it could be

    C       Em7        F
so wonderful if we succeed

      Am             G             F           C         Dm                G
Your warmth and your words found a place in my world and breathed new life in
--- VERSE ---
    C             Em7       F
We come from the brink of destruction

    C            Em7            F
we gathered ourselves from the floor

    Am           G            F         C           G      C          F
We tried and we suffered and finally recovered and found a new way to live
--- CHORUS ---
      Dm                    G
We’re two side by side with impossible dreams

Dm                      F
taking a chance to let love in

C      G       Dm            F
Storms come I learned to be strong

   C             G       Dm      F
I don’t lean on anyone else

    C        G           Dm          F
But now I am so content here in your arms

        C           G         F
I don’t want to be anywhere else with you

    C  G  F           C  G  F
I’m home, with you I’m home
--- INSTRUMENTAL --- Am G F C Dm G --- VERSE ---
  C            Em7        F
I hold fast to my destination

  C            Em7           F
I know that the road will be long

    Am          G            F      C             G     C             F
We light up the sky let the beauty define us and give, give it all we got
--- CHORUS ---
      Dm                    G
We’re two side by side with impossible dreams

Dm                      F
taking a chance to let love in

C      G       Dm            F
Storms come I learned to be strong

   C             G       Dm      F
I don’t lean on anyone else

    C        G           Dm          F
But now I am so content here in your arms

        C           G         F
I don’t want to be anywhere else with you

    C  G  F           C  G  F
I’m home, with you I’m home
