Chords with lyrics
"A Thousand Years"
from the album Burn and Shiver (2002)
by Azure Ray (Maria Taylor and Orenda Fink)
*First off, I must note that the high E MajorE string is NEVER played in this song at all.
*No capo is necessary.
*A fairly nice ballad with very simplistic picking that can be improvised or mimicked by listening to the
album.

Intro: FF
A minorAm
I'm saving all I'm not giving
D7omit3 C majorC FF
But it's overflowing evaporating in the air
A minorAm
As I'm walking and no I'm not breathing
D7omit3 C majorC
I'm not breathing only air
FF A minorAm
Cuz it's filled with words once spoken
D7omit3 C majorC
By people everywhere
FF A minorAm
And I can hear all the whispers
D7omit3 C majorC
That have lived a thousand years
FF A minorAm
It just took me being open
D7omit3 C majorC
For them to reach my eager ears
FF A minorAm
Now they've reached my eager ears
A#A#
And I hope I'll be ready when my life
C7C7 FF C majorC
When my life divides
FF
