The Key

[Primeira Parte]

D#m       Fm                    B               A#     G#m
We had it all, let it fall, the favor and the fortune
             F#          B         A#
With another craving for distortion
       D#m           F#
By the day we find a way
           B                 A#
Birds of a feather, they fly together
              G#m
And I see 'em soaring
          F#m    B           A#
From this boring cage, hmm

[Pré-Refrão]

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

[Refrão]

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

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

But to break free has only been a dream
              A#                 G#m
It's taking away all of my energy
             F#          B             A#7

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

                     G#m
Only hope keeps us alive
            F#           B            A#
The road is old and it's never ending
G#m7        F#                B
These empty bones are dead inside
                     G#m
Only hope keeps us alive
                F#                     B        A#
But the soul is gold when the heart is healthy

[Terceira Parte]

D#m
She paid her dues, she played those broken blues
                B                           A#
Etta James, and her name came from the very same truth
             G#m7                    F#
Skip the youth, now it's things to do
                              B
Now it's cleaning up after you
                          A#                   G#m
And that's the music she sings to (It's hallelujah)
                        F#                              B
You know better than to walk in with all the sin you're holding in
              A#                                  G#m
They said to leave it at the door, 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                                A#
She says, "I just want you to be blessed, blessed"
