Intro:  Bm7  G  D  A     2x


Verse 1:
D Am7Morning’s hard, coffee’s cold
G6 DPretending that the day mean more than getting old
D Am7Stale headlines others drenched in pride
G6 DMarching to their drums with fear standing beside
Bm7 G6But if I close my eyes and throw back my head
D AI can see his face and I hear the words he said
Bm7 G6And my memories ache and my senses burn
D ADid he dream too late will we ever learn
Chorus:
D AI, I want to testify
DMy love still lives and breathes
AAnd my soul is screaming why
DThe thoughts won’t let me sleep
ADon’t let hearts break
DAnd don’t let children cry
ABefore it get’s too late
Bm7I want to testify
Verse 2: I take what’s said as my daily bread I turn the page and I turn my head I pick I choose on the evening news Caused by cause they fight and one by one they loose Must I live my days in these concrete ways Will the fre break through this smokey haze And I swear tonight I’m gonna find that place It’s not the love that dies but the understanding ways Chorus:
D AI, I want to testify
DMy love still lives and breathes
AAnd my soul is screaming why
DThe thoughts won’t let me sleep
ADon’t let hearts break
DAnd don’t let children cry
ABefore it get’s too late
Bm7I want to testify
Bridge:
GRip through the wire that screens in my window
D Bm7Throw open the shade that covers my mind
C GI’m going to touch I’ve got to believe
AThe bell tolls for me
Chorus 2x and end.
