Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][Bm][D][G][D][Bm]
[D][G]

[Verse 1]
Did [D]you
spend most of your life [Bm]waitin'
On a [D]fairytale read between [G]pages?
Did you [D]huddle up close
[Bm]to your boombox radio
Is [D]somebody waiting on [G]the same song?

[Verse 2]
And [Bm]we sold our souls on the [G]fantasies we found in
[D]records and black and white [A]movies[Asus4]
And I [Bm]used to beg June to [G]burn me alive,
if that would [D]get me anywhere but [A]here
[D]Now Etta James,

[Verse 3]
hit that [A]symphony
'Cause she [Bm]drips through
my blood like a rem[G]edy
And [D]for most of my sad life I [A]figured I
was gonna die [Bm]alone[A][G]
'Cause I just [D]burned in the
curve of [A]my scars
Twenty [Bm]long years away
from your [G]heart
[D]Til finally, [A]finally, my love is in my [Bm]arms
[A]My [G]love is in my arms[D]
[Bm][D]

[Verse 4]
[G]
And [D]it was impossible to hold on to [Bm]anything
In my [D]chest was a lonesome,
growing cyc[G]lone
I kept [D]pictures tucked up into the [Bm]rear view
above [D]to the sirens all lost in [G]the ocean
And all we [Bm]wanted was
absolutely [G]everything
Like [D]foolish, hungry young [A]lions
I was [Bm]lost and alone,
a million [G]light years from home
It was [D]nobody's fault but mine
[A]

[Verse 5]
Now Etta [D]James, hit that [A]symphony
'Cause she [Bm]drips through
my blood like a rem[G]edy
And [D]for most of my sad life [A]I figured I
was gonna die [Bm]alone[A][G]
'Cause I just [D]burned in the
curve of [A]my scars
Twenty [Bm]long years away from your [G]heart
But fi[D]nally, [A]finally, my love is in my [Bm]arms
[A]

[Verse 6]
[G]And was there a
[Bm]hole in your [G]life?
Did you [D]kill to keep warm but somehow
nev[A]er quite satisfied?
Do you [Bm]feel like it's always
time to [G]go?
And it's [D]always wrong, and it's always off,
and it's [A]hard to know, which heart to hold
Now do you [Bm]lie to someone,
[G]is someone els[D]e, on you[A]r mind?
Do you [G]lie [Bm]to someone
[G]with me [D]on your min[A]d?

[Verse 7]
Now Etta [D]James, hit that [A]symphony
'Cause she [Bm]drips through
my blood like a rem[G]edy
And [D]for most of my sad life I [A]figured I
was gonna die [Bm]alone[A][G]
'Cause I just [D]burned in the
curve of [A]my scars
Twenty [Bm]long years away from your [G]heart
Til fi[D]nally, finally,
[A]my love is in my arm[Bm]s[A][G]
My love is in my [D]arms[A]

[Verse 8]
[Bm]Etta James, Etta [G]James
Etta James, it's been [D]a
[A]long time coming
Etta [Bm]James, [G]Etta James
Etta James,
[D]it's been a long time coming
(At last, [A]at last)
Etta James, it's [Bm]been a
long [G]time coming
[D](At last, at [A]last)
Etta James, it's [Bm]been a long time coming
[G]I could've said my
love was coming 'long
