Alabaster chords and lyrics - ROCKY VOTOLATO

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[D]On the outside loo[G]king in
I've [Em]never been able
to crack the code
[G]To break the secret [A]spell
[D]That would open up
[G]the door and let me in
[Em]To everything I've been looking
for so hard [G]I've never [A]seen
[Bm]But I feel my strength
[G]returning tonight
[Em]Its flowing from the purest well
[G]to ever give wa[A]ter
It spills [Bm]out into an ocean where
the [G]sharks are circling
A car[Em]nival of counterfeits has no [G]room [A]for something real
[D][A][D][G]

[Verse 2]
[D]Arrogance and ego wrapped
[G]around every word
[Em]Shouted from the pulpit as a
[G]judgment to [A]control
[D]These were my roots my seed
[G]was thrown in shallow soil
[Em]I grew into the thorn bushes
[G]to be scorched by the [A]sun
[Bm]But I feel the gravel move[G]
beneath my feet
[Em]The smell of the gasoline
[G]mixed in with the [A]trees
[Bm]When my faith is strong I [G]know
my strength
[Em]The threats will be screamed when [G]the vultures fell [A]threatene
[D]d[Em][D]

[Interlude 2]
[G][Em][G][A][Bm]
[G][Em][G][A]
[D]

[Verse 3]
So I'll open up [G]the door and let you in
[Em]I want to break the alabaster
smell [G]the sweet [A]perfume
And [D]when the bottle is broken I'll
[G]have nothing left to give
[Em]I'll know I'll already
[G]have everything worth [A]having
[Bm]But I feel my strength re
[G]turning tonight
[Em]Its flowing from the purest
well [G]to ever give wa[A]ter
It spills [Bm]out into and ocean where
the [G]sharks are circling
A carnival [Em]of counterfeits want to cru[G]cify [A]something

[Outro 1]
