Cannonball chords by Brandi Carlile

Chords with lyrics (Ver. 2)

Verse:

   G+G      C majorC
I was born when I met you

    B minorBm     E minorEm
now I'm dying to forget you

  A minorAm   D MajorD   G+G D MajorD
and that is what I know

     G+G        C majorC
Though I dreamed I would fall

    B minorBm      E minorEm
like a wounded cannonball

    A minorAm      D MajorD    G6G6 G7G7
sinking down with my heart in tow

Chorus:

E minorEm         B minorBm
Bright lights like white lightning

C majorC      G+G
Who shot me down

C majorC     G+G
Who cut me down

E minorEm     B minorBm         C majorC     G+G
I'm frozen in my bed till the day comes around

    C majorC       D MajorD
How I'm lost, how I'm found

Verse:

     G+G    C majorC
There's a man all alone

    B minorBm         E minorEm
telling me his friends are gone

       A minorAm    D MajorD   G+G D MajorD
that they've died and flown away

   G+G        C majorC
So I told him he was wrong

     B minorBm        E minorEm
that your friends are never gone

    A minorAm     D MajorD    G6G6 G7G7
If you look to the sky and pray

Chorus:

E minorEm         B minorBm
Bright lights like white lightning

C majorC      G+G
Who shot me down

C majorC     G+G
Who cut me down

E minorEm     B minorBm         C majorC     G+G
I'm frozen in my bed till the day comes around

    C majorC       D MajorD
How I'm lost, how I'm found

Verse:

    G+G     C majorC
Someone told me a lie

    B minorBm        E minorEm
Someone looked me in the eye

     A minorAm    D MajorD     G+G D MajorD
and said time will ease your pain

   G+G        C majorC
But behold, when you fall

     B minorBm       E minorEm
its that same old cannonball

    A minorAm      D MajorD   G6G6 G7G7
coming back for your heart again

Chorus:

E minorEm         B minorBm
Bright lights like white lightning

C majorC      G+G
Who shot me down

C majorC     G+G
Who cut me down

E minorEm     B minorBm         C majorC     G+G
I'm frozen in my bed till the day comes around

E minorEm       B minorBm
And it may come around

     C majorC     G+G
Till the day comes around

    A minorAm      D MajorD
How I'm lost, how I'm found

   G+G      C majorC
I was born when I met you

    B minorBm     E minorEm
Now I'm dying to forget you

  C majorC    D MajorD   G+G
and that is what I know
