[A] [E]
[Bm] [Em] [G]
[D] [A]
[D]
Morning's hard, [C] coffee's cold [G] Pretending that the days mean [D] more than you'd
know Stale headlines, [C] others drenched in pride
[G] Marching to their drama, [D] with fear standing beside
But if [Bm] I close my eyes and [G] throw back my head
I [D] can see his face and I [A] hear the words he said
And [B] my [Bm] memories ache and [G] my senses burn
Did [D] he dream too late?
Will [A] we ever
[D] want to [A] testify?
Love still [D] lives and breathes and my soul is [A] screaming why
The thoughts that won't let [D] me sleep
No, let [A] hearts break and don't let [D] children cry
Before it gets [A] too late
I want to [Bm] testify
[G]
[D] [A]
I take [D] what's said as [C] my daily bread
[G] I turn the page [D] and I turn my head
I pick, I [B] choose on [C] the evening news
[G] Cause by cause they fight, [D] one by one they lose
[Bm] Must I live my days [G] in these concrete ways?
[D] Will the fire break [A] through this smoky haze?
[Bm] And I swear tonight [G] I'm gonna find a place
[D] It's not for loving lies, [A] for being a sad and [D] greedy liar
I want to [A] testify
My love [D] still lives and breathes and my soul is [A] screaming why
The thoughts that won't let me [D] sleep
No, let hearts [A] break and don't let [D] children cry
Before it [A] gets too late
I want to [C] testify
I rip through the wire [G] that screams in my window
[D] Throw away the shades [Bm] that cover my mind
[C] I'm going to touch [G] and I've got to believe
[A] The bell tolls for me
I [D] want to testify
[A] My love [D] still lives and breathes and my soul is [A] screaming why
The thoughts that won't [D] let me sleep
No, let [A] hearts break and don't let children [D] cry
