I’ll Be
Edwin McCain

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

(Chorus 1)
           B       E
     And I'll be your crying shoulder
     B         F#   E
     I'll be loves suicide
     B       E
     I'll be better when I'm older
     B             F#      E          B         E-B-F#-E
     I'll be the greatest fan of your life

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

(REPEAT CHORUS)
(Pre-Chorus)
Abm
And I've dropped out, burned up, 
F#m                          E
fought my way back from the dead
Abm     
Tuned in, turned on, 
F#                              E     Asus4    F#
remembered the thing that you said
(CHORUS)
