I’ll Be
Edwin McCain

Intro :  D - Bm - G - A
(Verse 1)
D                              G
The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
Bm                       G   A
Stop me and steal my breath
D                        G
Emeralds from mountains thrust towards the sky
Bm                       G    A
Never revealing their depth
D    Bm      G         A
Tell me that we belong together
D        Bm          G           A
Dress it up with the trappings of love
D            Bm          G         A
I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
D              Bm         G                        A    A7  Aadd9
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

(Chorus 1)
         D    Bm   G         A 
     And I'll be your crying shoulder
     D    Bm   G    A  
     I'll be loves suicide
     D    Bm   G              A 
     I'll be better when I'm older
     D    Bm      G       A            D      
     I'll be the greatest fan of your life

(Verse 2)
D            G
Rain falls angry on the tin roof
Bm                    G      A
As we lie awake in my bed
D                         G
You're my survival, you're my living proof
Bm                      G    A
My love is alive not dead
D    Bm      G         A 
Tell me that we belong together
D     Bm             G           A
Dress it up with the trappings of love
D            Bm         G         A  
I'll be captivated I'll hang from your lips
D              Bm         G                         A  A7  Aaad9
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

(REPEAT CHORUS)
(Pre-Chorus)
         Bm             Bsus2
And I've dropped out, burned up, 
A             A7             G Gsus4
fought my way back from the dead
Bm         Bsus2        
Tuned in, turned on, 
A              A7               G  A  A7
remembered the thing that you said
(CHORUS)
