The Eye – Brandi Carlile
Capo 6
Not sure if this is the way it was recorded, but its relatively simple.
For the F chord: pointer finger fret B string, middle finger fret G, ring finger fret A, pinkie fret D;
transition to C by lifting pinkie and fret D string with middle finger.
For the F's in other parts of the song I fret the low E string with my thumb.
Makes for a quick low F at "hurricane"

[Verse]
F C F C F
It really breaks my heart, to see a dear old friend
C G Am F C
Go down in the worn out place again
F C F C F
Do you know the sound, of a closing door?
C G Am F C F
Have you heard that sound somewhere before?
C G Am C G
Do you wonder if she knows you anymore?
[Chorus]
F C
I wrapped your love around me like a chain
F G
But I never was afraid that it would die
C F Am
You can dance in a hurricane
Am C F C
But only if you're standing in the eye
[Verse]
F C F C F
Where did you learn to walk, where did you learn to run?
C G Am F C
Away from everything you love
F C F C F
And did you think the bottle, would ever ease your pain?
C G Am F C F
Did you think that love's a foolish game?
C G Am F C G
Did you find someone else to take the blame?
[Chorus]

But only if you're standing in the eye

I am a sturdy soul, and there ain't no shame
C G Am F C F
In lying down in the bed you made
C G Am F C G
Can you fight the urge to run for another day?
Am G C
You might make it further if you learn to stay
[Chorus]
F C
I wrapped your love around me like a chain
F G
But I never was afraid that it would die
C F Am
You can dance in a hurricane
Am G C
But only if you're standing in the eye
[Outro]
F Am
You can dance in a hurricane
Am C
But only if you're standing in the eye
