NOTE: You can regularly strum all chords it doesn't matter, but sometimes
i strike the verses with continuous,
palm-muted downstrokes to the beat of that repetitive sound effect. Until the last
lines ("Cause you're
right there" and "I was your starlight"). Then i start pulling my palm away while
playing the last line
making it clearer and clearer then start strumming normally the second the chorus
starts... Just a suggestion :)
[Intro] F Dm F Dm
F Dm
You had the blue note sapphire eyes,
Csus2
To back up all those gazes
Bbsus2
To pierce my guard and take my soul off
Csus2
To faraway places
Bbsus2
Told me I"ll never be alone,
Cause you're right there
F Dm
We took a gamble with this love,
Csus2
Like sailing to the storm
Bbsus2
With the waves rushing over to take us,
Csus2
We were battling against the tide
Bbsus2
You were my beacon of salvation,
I was your starlight
F Dm
So don't cry for your love,
Bbsus2
Cry tears of joy
Csus2
Cause you're alive cradled in love
F Dm
So don't cry for your love,
Bbsus2
Cry tears of joy
Csus2 Bbsus2 F
Cause you're alive cradled in love uh-uh-oveeeee
F Dm F Dm
I kept the love you gave me alive,
And now I carry it with me
I know it's just a tear drop from mother earth,
But in it I can hear a dolphin sing
Telling me I'll never be alone,
I know you're right there
So with the fire still burning bright,
I wanna gaze into your light
If I could see my fortune there,
You know how the flames can hypnotize
Do i even dare to speak out your name for fear like it sounds like,
Like a lover
So don't cry for your love,
Cry tears of joy
Cause you're alive cradled in love
So don't cry for your love,
Cry tears of joy
Cause you're alive cradled in love
So don't cry for your love,
Cry tears of joy
Cause you're alive cradled in love
So don't cry for your love,
Cry tears of joy
Cause you're alive cradled in loveeeee uh-uh-oveeeeee
