CHRISTINA PERRI – The Words

#

A-

This song is from the album Head or Heart(2014), released on 28 March 2014.
I loved the variety of chords that were used in this song. Christina’s voice was amazing as usual, her accent has got that great feel that makes listening to the song so easy and smooth. The arrangement and the production were beautiful. I expected this song to have a killer bassline, which would have improved the song even more, but the bass that it has is already enough to make this song amazing. Thanks to Jade for this challenging song.
SongRating: 9/10

[INTRO] E B F#
[VERSE]
            E      B/Eb     F#
All of the lights land on you
                  E   B/Eb        F#
The rest of the world fades from view
                E    B/Eb
And all of the love I see
  Bm      F#   F#m     C#       F#
Please please say you feel it too

F#                E     B        F#
And all of the noise I hear inside
               E      B           F#
Restless and loud, unspoken and wild
                  E       B
And all that you need to say
   Bm              F#
To make it all go away
             F#m      C#         F#
Is that you feel the same way too

[CHORUS]
       F#
And I know
F#                            B
The scariest part is letting go
E                                 C#  C#sus4
'Cause love is a ghost you can’t control
   C#                                   Ab
I promise you the truth can’t hurt us now
              B       C#             F#
So let the words slip out of your mouth

[INSTRUMENTAL] F# E B F# x2

[VERSE]
                E          B         F#
And all of the steps that led me to you
                E      B           F#
And all of the hell I had to walk through
                E       B            Bm        F#
But I wouldn’t trade a day for the chance to say
     F#m          C#       F#
My love, I’m in love with you

[CHORUS]
       F#
And I know
F#                            B
The scariest part is letting go
E                                 C#  C#sus4
'Cause love is a ghost you can’t control
   C#                                   Ab
I promise you the truth can’t hurt us now
              B       C#             Ebm
So let the words slip out of your mouth

[BRIDGE]
                   Daug
I know that we’re both afraid
                    F#
We both made the same mistakes
          Ab                        Ebm
An open heart is an open wound to you
                      Daug
And in the wind of a heavy choice
             F#
Love has a quiet voice
           Ab                         B
Still your mind, now I’m yours to choose

[CHORUS]
        F#
And I know 
                              B
The scariest part is letting go
                                          C#  C#sus4
Let my love be the light that guides you home

[CHORUS]
       F#
And I know
F#                            B
The scariest part is letting go
E                                 C#  C#sus4
'Cause love is a ghost you can’t control
   C#                                   Ab
I promise you the truth can’t hurt us now
              B       C#             F#
So let the words slip out of your mouth

[INSTRUMENTAL] F# E B F# x2
