_ _ _ [E] Kelly, come on out, we're going to do a song.
_ _ [Am] _ _ [B] _ [F#m] _ [E] I think I might want [F#m] to play too.
Where is she?
[Gm] _ _ _ [F] _
_ [G#m] _ Hi, this is Eric Anderson talking to me right now.
It's a pleasure to have you here.
Hi, thank you.
You came to Europe to record this with Maya Records.
How did that happen and what was it like?
I think it's good to once in a while document the state of your _ artistry.
I think it was a great experience and I think what came out was great.
And doing it here in Germany was a new experience for me.
There are two new tracks on the album.
How does this album compare to earlier recordings?
_ Well, one, because it's a live recording.
Two, because it was an opportunity to do two new songs in a very raw way.
Without a lot of instruments, bands, recording studio.
No tricks.
Okay, who are the musicians on the album?
This is my wife, Anna.
And this is Katty Gazzic from Italy.
And he is from the Netherlands.
And I'm from New York.
And _ he comes from the north of Italy.
_ He's been traveling all over the place.
He's played with many, many people in the world.
And _ he's making a new album.
_ _ It's great.
So we're all in the same hole. _ _ _
A whole slip and ditch trying [Em] to climb up into reality.

_ _ [C] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ [Em] She _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ claimed she was the woman.
_ _ [A] I knew the life I craved.
_ [C] _ Some would call her a [G] savior, _
_ [Bm] _ some would call her a slave.
_ [Em] _ Her devotion, it betrayed [G] [C] me, always broke my thoughts.
[G] _ [A] _ She stabbed me with her silence and [Bm] I bled and called it love.
[Em] I say love, [C] la la la, [D] la la la, _ _ [Bm] la la la la [D] la [Em] la la la.

_ [D] _ [Em] _ She said our love was sacred, [G] _ [C] _ I agreed that it was _ blessed.
[A] _ _ _
Underneath we really knew [Bm] neither one could be _ possessed.

[C] la la [G] la la [D] _ _ _
[Em] la la la la la. _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ [Bm] _ But now even you my love, [A] have come to expect too much. _
[G] _ [C] You should [G] see you cannot reach [Bm] for what you cannot _ touch. _
[Em] _ I will wander through your [G] wounds [C] looking _ for an honest scar. _
[Am] _ Teach me how to sing this song [Bm] now, I will sing it well.
I [E] say [Em] love, la [C] la la, la [D] la la, _ _ la [Bm] la la la la [Em] la la la.
La [C] la la, la [D] la la, _ _ [Em] la la la. _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _ The woman she was gentle, _ _ [A] _ she took me for a while.
_ [G] _ [C] _ When my [G] soul was beaten, _ [Bm] she held it like a child.
[Em] Like a child, [C] la la la, _ [D] like a child, [Bm] la la la, like [Em] a child.
[G] La la la, la la [D] la, _ _ la [Em] la la. _ _ _ _
