Start Jamming...
We're gonna sing you guys a song that's all about three-part harmony right now.
This is the song that reveals that there really is no lead singer in this band called Brandi Carlile.
It's called The Eye.
[F#]
[C#]
[C#] It really breaks my heart [F#] to see a dear old friend
[C#]
Go down to the worn [F#] out place again
Do you know the [B] sound [F#] of a closing door?
Have you heard that sound somewhere before?
Do you wonder if she knows you anymore?
[C#] [B] I wrapped your love [F#] around me like a chain
But [B] I never was afraid that it [C#] would die
You [F#] can dance in a [D#m] hurricane
But only if you're standing in the eye
[F#]
Where did you learn to [B] walk?
[F#] Where did you learn to run?
[C#] Away from [F#] everything you love
[B] [F#] Did you think the [B] bottle [F#] would ever ease your [B] pain?
[F#] Did you think [D#m] that [F#] love's a foolish game?
[B] [F#] Did you find someone [D#m] else to take the blame?
[C#] I [B] wrapped your love [B] around me [F#] like a chain
[B] But I never was afraid that it [C#] would die
You [F#]
can dance in a [D#m] hurricane
But only if you're [F#] standing in the eye
You can dance in a [D#m] hurricane
But only if you're [F#] standing in the eye
[C#]
I'm a sturdy [B] soul [F#] and there ain't no [B] shame
[F#] In lying down in the bed you made
[B] Can [F#] you fight the urge to run for another day?
[C#]
You might [D#m] make it further [C#] if you learn [F#] to stay
I [B] wrapped your love [F#] around me like a chain
But [B] I never was afraid that it would die
You [F#] can dance in a [D#m] hurricane
But only if you're standing [C#] in the eye
[F#] You can dance in a [D#m] hurricane
But only if you're [F#] standing in the eye
[N]
