My favorite song so far from the new album 'Songs Of Innocence' released yesterday (09.09.2014).
Tried to give it ago and I think it sounds good. Tell what you think !
[Verse 1]
CThe star,Am  
that gives us lEmightD  
Has been gone a whCileAm  
But it’s not an ilEmlusionD  
The aCcheAm  
In my heEmartD  
Is so much a CpaAmrt of who I EmamD  
[Pre-Chorus]
GSomething in your eAmyes
Took a thoEmusand years to get Dhere
GSomething in your eAmyes
Took a thoEmusand years, a thouDsand years
[Chorus]
Hold me CclAmose, hold me clEmose and don’t let me goD.
Hold me CclAmose like I’m soEmmeone that you might knDow
Hold me CcloAmse the darEmkness just lets us sDee
Who we CareAm  
I’ve got your lEmife inside oDf me
C   Am   Em   Dx2
Iris… Iris…
[Verse]
COncAme we are EmborDn, we begin to CforgeAmt
The very reason we EmcameD  
But CyouAm  
I’m sure I’ve EmmetD  
Long before the niCght the stars went oAmut
We’re meeting up agEmainD  
[Chorus]
Hold me CclAmose, hold me clEmose and don’t let me goD.
Hold me CclAmose like I’m soEmmeone that you might knDow
Hold me CcloAmse the darEmkness just lets us sDee
Who we CareAm  
I’ve got your lEmife inside oDf me
C   Am   Em   Dx2
Iris… Iris…
[MIDDLE]
G   Am   EmThe stars are brDight but do they know
G   Am   EmThe universe is beaDutiful but cold
[OUTRO/CHORUS]
You took me by the hCand
I thAmought that I was leading Emyou
But it was yDou made me your mCan
MaAmchine
I dEmream
Where yDou are
CIris standing in Amthe hall
She tEmells me I can do Dit all
CIris wakes to my nigAmhtmares
Don’t fEmear the world it isDn’t there
CIris playing on Amthe strand
She buEmries the boy beneDath the sand,
CIris says that I Amwill be the dEmeath of her
DIt was not me
C   Am   Em   Dx2
Iris… Iris…
Free yourself, to be yourself if only you could see yourself
Free yourself, to be yourself if only you could see…
