BRANDI CARLILE – The Eye

This song is from the album The Firewatcher’s Daughter(2015).
I loved the harmonies in this song so much that this song has been on replay for the past 20 minutes. The way that she sings the song is beautiful. The chorus has a special feel when the harmonies are also in it. The guitar and the bass are beautifully done. However, I do not feel very impressed with the lyrics. I think it could have been a little more impressive. I’m not saying that it’s bad, it’s just not very impressive.

[INTRO] B F# B F# B F# C# Ebm B F#
[VERSE]
F#                      B
It really breaks my heart
F#                     B
To see a dear old friend
F#   C#           Ebm    B       F#
Go down in the worn old place again

F#                  B
Do you know the sound
F#                B
Of a closing door?
F#        C#          Ebm    B        F#    B
Have you heard that sound somewhere before?

[PRE-CHORUS]
      F#          C#   Ebm     B    F#   C#
Do you wonder if she knows you anymore?

[CHORUS]
B                                      F#
I wrapped your love around me like a chain
         B                            C#
But I never was afraid that it would die
F#                  B       Ebm
You can dance in a hurricane
Ebm                          C#     F#
But only if you’re standing in the eye

[VERSE]
F#                        B
Where did you learn to walk?
F#                       B
Where did you learn to run?
F#              Ebm  B      F# B
Away from everything you love

F#                      B
Did you think the bottle
F#                      B
Would ever ease your pain?
F#        C#       Ebm        B      F# B
Did you think that love’s a foolish game?

[PRE-CHORUS]
          F#     C#   Ebm     B      F#   C#
Did you find someone else to take the blame?

[CHORUS]
B                                      F#
I wrapped your love around me like a chain
         B                            C#
But I never was afraid that it would die
F#                  B       Ebm
You can dance in a hurricane
Ebm                          C#     F#
But only if you’re standing in the eye
F#                  B       Ebm
You can dance in a hurricane
Ebm                          C#     F#
But only if you’re standing in the eye

[VERSE]
B F#            B
I am a sturdy soul
F#                    B
And there ain't no shame 
F#    C#  Ebm        B            F# B
In lying down in the bed you've made
        F#          C#      Ebm   B         F# C#
Can you fight the urge to run for another day?

[PRE-CHORUS]
                    Ebm   C#                 F#
You might make it further if you learn to stay 

[CHORUS]
B                                      F#
I wrapped your love around me like a chain
         B                            C#
But I never was afraid that it would die
F#                  B       Ebm
You can dance in a hurricane
Ebm                          C#     F#
But only if you’re standing in the eye
F#                  B       Ebm
You can dance in a hurricane
Ebm                          C#     F#
But only if you’re standing in the eye
