This is Melissa's song "Testify" from the 1989 album "Brave and Crazy". Tuning is standard, no capo used. Have fun! Intro: Bm7 G D A 2x Verse 1: D Am7 Morning?s hard, coffee?s cold G6 D Pretending that the day mean more than getting old D Am7 Stale headlines others drenched in pride G6 D Marching to their drums with fear standing beside Bm7 G6 But if I close my eyes and throw back my head D A I can see his face and I hear the words he said Bm7 G6 And my memories ache and my senses burn D A Did he dream too late will we ever learn Chorus: D A I, I want to testify D My love still lives and breathes A And my soul is screaming why D The thoughts won?t let me sleep A Don?t let hearts break D And don?t let children cry A Before it get?s too late Bm7 I 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 A I, I want to testify D My love still lives and breathes A And my soul is screaming why D The thoughts won?t let me sleep A Don?t let hearts break D And don?t let children cry A Before it get?s too late Bm7 I want to testify Bridge: G Rip through the wire that screens in my window D Bm7 Throw open the shade that covers my mind C G I?m going to touch I?ve got to believe A The bell tolls for me Chorus 2x and end.
