• Song:

    Brink Of Destruction

  • Artist:

    Sarah McLachlan

Here is a beautiful new song from Sarah's album Shine On - released today: May 5, 2014.

When I play this on the acoustic guitar, I like to play an Fmaj7 instead of an F in the 
verses - I think it sounds pretty that way. I also like how the Em7 sounds.  

This set of chords is not perfect - I'm still working out the kinks - but they really 
are good enough to play along with the song and sound good.  Any and all suggestions are welcome!


--- INTRO ---
C   Em7  F (x2)


--- VERSE ---
    C       Em7        F
It would be if it could be
    C       Em7        F
so wonderful if we succeed
      Am             G             F           C         Dm                G
Your warmth and your words found a place in my world and breathed new life in


--- VERSE ---
    C             Em7       F
We come from the brink of destruction
    C            Em7            F
we gathered ourselves from the floor
    Am           G            F         C           G      C          F
We tried and we suffered and finally recovered and found a new way to live


--- CHORUS ---
      Dm                    G
We’re two side by side with impossible dreams
Dm                      F
taking a chance to let love in
C      G       Dm            F
Storms come I learned to be strong
   C             G       Dm      F
I don’t lean on anyone else
    C        G           Dm          F
But now I am so content here in your arms
        C           G         F
I don’t want to be anywhere else with you
    C  G  F           C  G  F
I’m home, with you I’m home


--- INSTRUMENTAL ---
Am  G  F  C  Dm  G


--- VERSE ---
  C            Em7        F
I hold fast to my destination
  C            Em7           F
I know that the road will be long
    Am          G            F      C             G     C             F
We light up the sky let the beauty define us and give, give it all we got


--- CHORUS ---
      Dm                    G
We’re two side by side with impossible dreams
Dm                      F
taking a chance to let love in
C      G       Dm            F
Storms come I learned to be strong
   C             G       Dm      F
I don’t lean on anyone else
    C        G           Dm          F
But now I am so content here in your arms
        C           G         F
I don’t want to be anywhere else with you
    C  G  F           C  G  F
I’m home, with you I’m home
