I’ll Be
Edwin McCain
Intro : B - E - B - E
(Verse 1)
B E
The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
B F# E
Stop me and steal my breath
B E
Emeralds from mountains thrust towards the sky
B F# E
Never revealing their depth
B F# E F#
Tell me that we belong together
B F# E F#
Dress it up with the trappings of love
B F# E F#
I’ll be captivated, I’ll hang from your lips
B F# E F#
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above
(Chorus 1)
B E
And I’ll be your crying shoulder
B F# E
I’ll be loves suicide
B E
I’ll be better when I’m older
B F# E B E-B-F#-E
I’ll be the greatest fan of your life
(Verse 2)
B E
Rain falls angry on the tin roof
B F# E
As we lie awake in my bed
B E
You’re my survival, you’re my living proof
B F# E
My love is alive not dead
B F# E F#
Tell me that we belong together
B F# E F#
Dress it up with the trappings of love
B F# E F#
I’ll be captivated I’ll hang from your lips
B F# E F#
Instead of the gallows of heartache, that hang from above
(REPEAT CHORUS)
(Pre-Chorus)
G#m
And I’ve dropped out, burned up,
F#m E
fought my way back from the dead
G#m
Tuned in, turned on,
F# E Asus4 F#
remembered the thing that you said
(CHORUS)
