The Key

[Primera Parte]

D#m       Fm                    
We had it all, let it fall, the 
B               A#     G#m
favor and the fortune
             F#          B         
With another craving for distortion
A#

       D#m           F#
By the day we find a way
           B                
Birds of a feather, they fly 
 A#
together
              G#m
And I see 'em soaring
          F#m    B           A#
From this boring cage, hmm

[Pre-Estribillo]

D#m          C#m                 
But to break free has only been a
     B
 dream
              A#                 G#m
It's taking away all of my energy
             F#          B   
I need a light to see so I can 
          A#
finally breathe
                 D#m
I gotta find the key

[Estribillo]

          F#                       
I've been searching for a peace of 
B
mind
          A#                   G#m
Pride and certainty in truth I find
            F#                   
The soul is cold when the river's 
     B
empty
   A#
So tell me
D#m         F#               B
These empty bones are dead inside
      A#            G#m
Only hope keeps us alive
            F#                
The road is old and it's never 
 B       A#
ending
G#m         F#               B
These empty bones are dead inside

                    G#m
Only hope keeps us alive
                F#                 
But the soul is gold when the heart
    B       A#
 is healthy

D#m
              C#             
See, all this drinking got me 
  B
thirsty
  A#                G#m7
I feel me breaking, I can't escape 
it
        F#       B        B7M     
I can't take the shame of mercy, 
 A#7  D#m
hmm
                               B7M  
But I'll follow what I'm searchin'
    A#7  G#m      G#m7         
'Cause maybe it's suitable for 
F#
moving on
     B                      A#7
And working through the hurting

           F#                      
I've been searching for a peace of 
B
mind (I've been searching)
          A#                     
Pride and certainty in truth I find 
G#m
(Soul is cold)
            F#                   
The soul is cold when the river's 
     B
empty
   A#
So tell me (Tell me)
D#m         F#               B
These empty bones are dead inside
                     G#m

Only hope keeps us alive
                F#                 
But the soul is gold when the heart
    B        A#
 is healthy

[Tercera Parte]

D#m
She paid her dues, she played those 
broken blues
                B                  
Etta James, and her name came from 
         A#
the very same truth
             G#m7                  
Skip the youth, now it's things to 
  F#
do
                              B
Now it's cleaning up after you
                          A#     
And that's the music she sings to 
              G#m
(It's hallelujah)
                        F#         
You know better than to walk in 
                     B
with all the sin you're holding in
              A#                   
They said to leave it at the door, 
               G#m
they said pain no more
           F#
She said, "But I got somethin' I'm 
fighting for
B                            A#
What you mean pain no more?" Play 
the chord
G#m                       F#
Melodies playing her like chess
                  B
She's taking deep breaths

She takes a beating to the chest
                              G#m
And there's no finessing this stress
              F#m
Demons try to tell her what's next
B                                
She says, "I just want you to be 
A#
blessed, blessed"
