Chords for Leon Ware - If I Ever Lose This Heaven (Live in Amsterdam, 2001)

[A#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D#m] _ _
_ _ [G#] _ _ [A#m] _ _ _ [G#] _
_ [A#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
[C#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D#] _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ [G#] _ _ I was born botanical, the soul of an animal.
Deep beneath the layers I sink [C#] my roots.
No need for mechanical, I come swiftly organic.
When I need to feast, [C#m] [D] I look [D#] to the east.
That's why I'm never scared of the beast.
Even though [F#] they try to prey upon me,
I'm [A#m] protected by the one always greater than me.
_ _ [G#] If you're fooling, _ [C#]
only [A#] fooling,
[G#m] [C#] all I ask is why.
_ [C#m] _ _ And if you're [D#] playing, _ all [A#] I'm saying,
_ [F#] is feeling [G#] strong [C#] and light.
So now [G#] I'm revealed to thee,
because you want to see the [C#] contour of my mystery,
[D#m] the strength of my arches,
[C#] and the color of my conscience,
and the way that I [D#m] process my [C#m] diction.
Some facts, [D#] some fiction, some mystery,
and some future [C#m] fantasy.
I'm [F#] the trunk that holds the branches,
[G#] the leaves that do the dances.
Ha ha ha.
_ _ If you're lying, _ keep [G#m] on lying.
Don't tell the truth, [F#]
[C#] don't you dare.
_ [C#m] _ You [G#] can't drop [D#] me, but you still [F#] got me,
after taking me [G#]
way up _ [B] there.
[C#] _ [B] _ [C#] _ [D#m]
[C#] Oh, [G#m] oh, oh, [F#] oh, oh, oh, oh, [F] oh.
If I ever lose this heaven,
[A#] if I ever, ever [D#m] lose this heaven,
[G] _ _ [F#] Oh, oh, [G#] oh, oh, [B] oh, oh, oh, oh.
I'll never be [F#] the same.
Oh, [B] _
_ oh, [F#] oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
[F] If I ever lose this heaven,
[A#] if I ever, ever lose [D#] this heaven,
_ _ [F#] Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
[B] I'll never be the [F#] _ same.
[B] _ _
_ _ _ [G#] My flowers romantic, my love [G#m] gigantic.
From Africa, [C#m] _ [A#m] transplanted transatlantic.
Uh-huh.
[C#m] In the heat of the sun, I bring shade for [C#] everyone.
[F#] Like the beat on the one, [G#] I'm the skin on the drum.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
When you're kind, [C#m] extra [G#m] kind, then [F#] suddenly [A#m] you're [C#m] gone.
_ Yes. _
[D#] Still [D#m] look at me, baby.
_ [F#] Still can't [G#] turn you off.
No, I [C#] can't.
_ _ [G#] _ Fascinating, [C#] so [G#m] fascinating.
Than the [F#] dark side of the [A#m] _ [G#] moon.
Yes, so [C#m] you're right.
I'll [D#] be right there, [F#] baby.
Look for the [G#] love of you.
[D#m] _ [C#] _ [G#m] [C#] Whoa, [B]
[C#] whoa, [D#m] whoa, [C#] whoa.
[F#] _ _ [F] If I ever lose this heaven, [A#] if I ever,
[C#m] ever [D#] lose this heaven,
_ _ [F#] oh, _ [B] I'll never be the _ [F#] same.
You all can [G#m] do this.
Y'all can sing with it.
[F#] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
_ [F]
If I ever lose this heaven, [C#m] if I ever,
ever [D#] lose this heaven,
this heaven will take me [F#] down.
Oh, _ [B] I'll never be [C#] the [D#m] [C#] same.
_ [B] _
_ _ _ [A#m] _ _ _ _ [F] _
This heaven [C#m] will take me down.
If I ever lose [D#] this heaven, _ _ [F#] if I ever,
oh, _ _ [G#m] I'll never be [F#] the same.
This [B] heaven will take me down.
[F#] Oh, _ _ [F] if I ever lose this [C#m] heaven, if I ever,
ever lose [F#] this heaven, [D#] [F#] oh, _ _ _ [B] I'll never be the [C#] same.
[D#m] _ [A#m] _ _ _ [G#m] _
_ [C#] _ _ [B] _ [C#] _ [D#m] [C#] This heaven [G#m]
[D#] will _ _ [F#] _ _ take me down.
_ _ _ _ Yay! _
_ This is a lot [D#] of luck, y'all know [N] that.
_ And it looks like a new hoodie is, you know?
A hoodie is.
This is extremely special.
