 VERSE:
 
 B: E:
 The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
 
 B: F#5/A# E5/Ab
 Stop me and steal my breath
 
 B: E:
 Emeralds from mountains thrust toward the sky
 
 B: F#5/A# E5/Ab
 Never revealing their depth
 
 BRIDGE:
 
 B: F#5/A# E5/Ab F#5/A#
 Tell me that we belong together
 
 B: F#5/A# E5/Ab F#5/A#
 Dress it up with the trappings of love
 ( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/e/edwin_mccain/ill_be_tab_ver_4.html )
 B: F#5/A# E5/Ab F#5/A#
 I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
 
 B: F#5/A# E5/Ab F#5/A#
 Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above
 
 CHORUS:
 
 B: E:
 I'll be your crying shoulder
 
 B: F#5/A# E5/Ab
 I'll be love suicide
 
 B: E:
 and I'll be better when I'm older
 
 B: F#5/A# E5/Ab ("life" starts on the next set of chords)I'll be the
 fan of your life
 
 (USE THE PICKING PATTERN FROM THE INTRO ON THESE CHORDS)
 
 B: E: B: F#5/A#: E5/Ab
 
 (VERSE AND BRIDGE ARE PLAYED THE SAME AS BEFORE)
 
 Rain falls angry on the tin roof
 
 As we lie awake in my bed
 
 You're my survival, you're my living proof
 
 My love is alive not dead
 
 Tell me that we belong together
 
 Dress it up with the trappings of love
 
 I'll be captivated I'll hang from your lips
 
 Instead of the gallows of heartache, that hang from above
 
 (Repeat the chorus, play the B with the intro strumming pattern, then onto the next part)
 
 (This is the only part that I'm not 100% the chords are exactly how they're originally
 but I know they're right)
