Strike A Chord

          G                        
And I'm terrified in seeing how it 
 C
rings and it carries
               G           A7     
You know it's been such a long 
        D  D#         D
time since I felt one inside
         G
Call me too reserved
        D
Cuz my armor's on
             G                     
Why should I open a pandora's box 
   C
of rude complications?
    G                     D       
The risk is too high for one more 
             G
right gone wrong

    Em                        Bm
Cuz love is a very strong and sacred
 thing
                                D
And you can't stop it when you want 
to
         C                D
Even as bruises start to show

[link]
     Em                           
And true, taking chances gets you 
Bm
halfway there
Em       D         C
But I'm not ready yet
                D           C
My heart's too tattered and bent
                G
And I move too slow

[Verse 2]

N.C.          G                    D
You strike a certain chord in the 
thick of me
         G                         
And I'm too aware it's ringing out 
    C
in you as within me
    G                     A7      
I know you've had such a hard time
     D  D#          D
 to get me by your side
                     G             
But I've heard this song before in 
   D
a different key
        G                          
And I fear we might be singing out 
     C
too late or too early
    G                D            
To set the stage for one more 
        G
right gone wrong

[link]
     Em                       Bm
Cuz love is a very strong and sacred
 thing
                            D
But when he went without a warning
          C                  G
My heart alone did take the blow

[link]
   Em                              
So I will trace my musings with 
  Bm
this simple tune
Em          D          C
And until then, I'm content
Em      D           C           
Biding time on the fence in the 
         G
woods I know


[Instrumental break]


[Verse 3]

    Em                     Bm
So please forgive me if I seem half 
there
                         D
I can't halt those old emotions
             C                 G
Even though that chapter has closed

[link]

   Em                       Bm
But I see the honesty that shines in
 you
   Em      D                  C  
And I'm impressed that I've found
                    D        C
 that you're still hanging around
           D               C        
   D         Cmaj7 (let ring)
And I'm surprised at the sounds 
coming out of my mouth

C


[Coda]

        G
When I say:
 G#     D    D7   D      Gmaj7
Okay, let's give it a go
