Etta James

         D                     
Did you spend most of your life 
  Bm
waitin'
      D                      G
On a fairytale read between pages?
         D                     
Did you huddle up close to your 
  Bm
boombox radio
    D               A       G
Is somebody waiting on the same 
song?
        Bm                  
And we sold our souls on the 
  G
fantasies
             D                   
we found in records and black and 
        A
white movies
       Bm                  G
And I used to beg June to burn me 
alive,
               D                 
if that would get me anywhere but 
  A
here

[Chorus]

          D               A
Now Etta James, hit that symphony
           Bm                   
Cause she drips through my blood 
         G
like a remedy
         D
And for most of my sad life
   A                        Bm   
I figured I was gonna die alone
A   G

               D                   
Cause I just burned in the curve of
 A
 my scars
        Bm                      
Twenty long years away from your 
  G
heart
         D        A               
Til finally, finally, my love is 
      Bm   A   G
in my arms
                  D    Bm   D   
My love is in my arms
A   G


[Verse 2]

              D
And it was impossible
               Bm
to hold on to anything
       D                           
In my chest was a lonesome, growing
  G
 cyclone
        D                          
I kept pictures tucked up into the 
 Bm
rearview above

        D              A       G
to the sirens all lost in the ocean
            Bm                  
And all we wanted was absolutely 
  G
everything
      D                     A
Like foolish, hungry young lions
       Bm                      
I was lost and alone, a million 
  G
light years from home
        D                  A
It was nobody's fault but mine

[Chorus]

          D               A
Now Etta James, hit that symphony
           Bm                   
Cause she drips through my blood 
         G
like a remedy
         D
And for most of my sad life
   A                        Bm   
I figured I was gonna die alone
A   G

               D                   
Cause I just burned in the curve of
 A
 my scars
        Bm                      
Twenty long years away from your 
  G
heart
         D        A               
But finally, finally, my love is 
      Bm   A   G
in my arms

[Bridge]

                 Bm           G
And was there a hole in your life?
         D
Did you kill to keep warm but 
somehow
A
never quite satisfied?
        Bm                         
Do you feel like it's always time 
   G
to go?
          D
And it's always wrong, and it's 
always off,
          A
and it's hard to know, which heart 
to hold
           Bm          G
Now do you lie to someone,
            D             A
is someone else, on your mind?
        Bm         G       D     
Do you lie to someone with me on 
      A
your mind?

[Chorus]

          D               A
Now Etta James, hit that symphony
           Bm

And for most of my sad life
   A                        Bm

A   G

               D                   
Cause I just burned in the curve of
 A
 my scars
        Bm                      
Twenty long years away from your 
  G
heart
         D        A               
Til finally, finally, my love is 
      Bm   A   G
in my arms
                  D
My love is in my arms
