Dares My Heart Be Free chords and lyrics - DAVID GRAY

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[D]Can I hold it fast
Till the final gasp
Can the tale survive the telling
Will this feeling ever last
[A]And it’s a long old slog
With that [G]mean black dog
[D]That calls from [A]the mire
And [G]dares my heart [D]be free

[Verse 2]
[D]
Try to keep it sweet
Baby make ends meet
Heading in the right direction
Just maybe down the wrong street
Speak[A]ing through the mesh
With [G]her sumptuous flesh
That [D]ghost in [A]the wires
[G]that calls out my name
The [D]mocking[A]bird choir [G]that calls it again
That [D]old mys[A]tifier that [G]dares
my heart [D]be free

[Verse 3]
[A]Baby now
[Bm]Coul[G]dn’t you just once[D]
Just [G]once let [D]the damn thing [G]be
[A]Going around [Bm]thinking [G]like [D]that
[G]Won’t have nothing [D]left to [G]hold on to

[Verse 4]
All the [D]subtle ways
That a face betrays
Every hurt that burns within it
In the flicker of its gaze
And as I [A]fall beneath
Well it’s a [G]new green leaf
That [D]tells from [A]on high [G]of all that is blessed
In [D]each day [A]that rises [G]east
into west
[D]That springs from [A]the bough
And [G]dares my heart be free

[Interlude 2]
[D]

[Verse 5]
[A]Baby now
[Bm]Coul[G]dn’t you just once[D]
Just [G]once let [D]the damn thing [G]be
[A]Going around [Bm]talking [G]like [D]that
[G]Won’t have nothing [D]left
to [G]hold on to
[D]

[Verse 6]
Feel that autumn wind
Where my hair has thinned
All the cares we never asked for
And all the loves we don’t intend
And through my [A]sleepless brains
Well it’s an [G]endless train
That [D]pours through [A]the darkness
[G]mile after mile
[D]Drinking [A]the diesel,
[G]burning the oil
[D]That screams to [A]the night
And [G]dares my heart be free
[D]

[Verse 7]
Dressed from head to toe
In the afterglow
Offering prayers and supplications
To quite what I’ll never know
And then it [A]drops so strange
Behind the [G]jagged range
That [D]circle of [A]fire that
[G]dares my heart be free
That [D]ghost in the wires that
[G]dares my heart be free
That [D]voice from the mire
that [G]dares [D]my [G]heart be free
