            Bm7I (x20202@1)want to testify


Verse 2:
I take what's said as my daily bread
I turn the page and I turn my head
I pick I choose on the evening news
Caused by cause they fight and one by one they loose
Must I live my days in these concrete ways
Will the fre break through this smokey haze
And I swear tonight I'm gonna find that place
It's not the love that dies but the understanding ways


Chorus:
D (xx0232@1)           AI, (x02220@1)I want to testify
                          DMy (xx0232@1)love still lives and breathes
                          AAnd (x02220@1)my soul is screaming why
                            DThe (xx0232@1)thoughts won't let me sleep
                   ADon't (x02220@1)let hearts break
                        DAnd (xx0232@1)don't let children cry
                     ABefore (x02220@1)it get's too late
            Bm7I (x20202@1)want to testify


Bridge:
                             GRip (320003@1)through the wire that screens in my window
  D (xx0232@1)                      Bm7Throw (x20202@1)open the shade that covers my mind
     C (x32010@1)                 GI'm (320003@1)going to touch I've got to believe
