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]
C        Am
The star,
               Em    D
that gives us light
                  C   Am
Has been gone a while
                  Em     D
But it’s not an illusion
     C      Am
The ache
        Em  D
In my heart
             C Am          Em   D
Is so much a part of who I am
[Pre-Chorus]
G                  Am
Something in your eyes
          Em                 D
Took a thousand years to get here
G                  Am
Something in your eyes
          Em                 D
Took a thousand years, a thousand years
[Chorus]
        C Am             Em                     D
Hold me close, hold me close and don’t let me go.
        C Am             Em                     D
Hold me close like I’m someone that you might know
        C  Am        Em                  D
Hold me close the darkness just lets us see
       C    Am
Who we are
               Em          D
I’ve got your life inside of me
CAmEmD
    x2
Iris… Iris…
[Verse]
C  Am       Em D              C    Am
Once we are born, we begin to forget
                   Em  D
The very reason we came
    C   Am
But you
              Em  D
I’m sure I’ve met
                  C                   Am
Long before the night the stars went out
                   Em    D
We’re meeting up again
[Chorus]
        C Am             Em                     D
Hold me close, hold me close and don’t let me go.
        C Am             Em                     D
Hold me close like I’m someone that you might know
        C  Am        Em                  D
Hold me close the darkness just lets us see
       C    Am
Who we are
               Em          D
I’ve got your life inside of me
CAmEmD
    x2
Iris… Iris…
[MIDDLE]
G Am Em                 D
        The stars are bright but do they know
G Am Em                    D
        The universe is beautiful but cold
[OUTRO/CHORUS]
                    C
You took me by the hand
    Am                       Em
I thought that I was leading you
            D                C
But it was you made me your man
  Am
Machine
   Em
I dream
       D
Where you are
C               Am
Iris standing in the hall
     Em              D
She tells me I can do it all
C                   Am
Iris wakes to my nightmares
       Em                 D
Don’t fear the world it isn’t there
C              Am
Iris playing on the strand 
      Em               D
She buries the boy beneath the sand,
C               Am            Em
Iris says that I will be the death of her
D
It was not me
CAmEmD
    x2
Iris… Iris…
Free yourself, to be yourself if only you could see yourself
Free yourself, to be yourself if only you could see…
