I Was Brought To My Senses chords by Sting

Chords with lyrics

Prologue part 1:
 Am7Am7            Dsus2Dsus2
Alone with my thoughts this evening
 Am7Am7          Dsus2Dsus2
I walked on the banks of Tyne
 Am7Am7         Dsus2Dsus2
I wondered how I could win you
   Cadd9*  G+G    Dsus2Dsus2
Or if I could make you mine
   Cadd9*  G+G    Dsus2Dsus2
Or if I could make you mine


Prologue part 2:
  Am7Am7        Dsus2Dsus2
The wind it was so insistent
   Am7Am7        Dsus2Dsus2
With tales of a story south
   Am7Am7            Dsus2Dsus2
But when I spied two birds in a sycamore tree
       Cadd9*  G+G   Dsus2Dsus2
There came a dryness in my mouth
    Cadd9* G+G  Dsus2Dsus2
Came a dryness in my mouth

Prologue part 3:
  Am7Am7          Dsus2Dsus2
For then without rhyme or reason
  Am7Am7           Dsus2Dsus2
The two birds did rise up to fly
  Am7Am7           Dsus2Dsus2
And where the two birds were flying
 Cadd9*   G+G    Dsus2Dsus2
I swear I saw you and I
 Cadd9*   G+G    Dsus2Dsus2
I swear I saw you and I

Verse 1:
G+G         G/BG/B
 I walked out this morning
       Cadd9Cadd9
It was like a veil had been removed
    Dsus4Dsus4  D MajorD
From before my eyes
E minor 7Em7
For the first time I saw
  Bm7Bm7
The work of Heaven
    Cadd9Cadd9
In the line where the hills had been
        Dsus4Dsus4  D MajorD
Married to the sky

Verse 2:
G+G       G/BG/B     Cadd9Cadd9       Dsus4Dsus4  D MajorD
  And all around me? every blade of singing grass
  B7B7+/G#      E minor 7Em7
Was calling out your name and
     Cadd9Cadd9        Dsus4Dsus4  D MajorD
That our love would always last
G+G          G/BG/B
  And inside every turning leaf
    Cadd9Cadd9        Dsus4Dsus4  D MajorD
Is the pattern of an older tree
  E minor 7Em7       Bm7Bm7
The shape of our future
  Cadd9Cadd9          Dsus4Dsus4  D MajorD
The shape of all our history

Verse 3:
G+G          G/BG/B
  And out of the confusion
     Cadd9Cadd9      Dsus4Dsus4  D MajorD
Where the river meets the sea
   B7B7+/G#      E minor 7Em7
Came things I'd never seen
Cadd9Cadd9       Dsus4Dsus4  D MajorD
Things I'd never seen


Refrain:
    E minor 7Em7  Dm7Dm7   Cmaj7Cmaj7   B7B7+
I was brought ? to my senses,
    E minor 7Em7   Dm7Dm7    Cmaj7Cmaj7 B7B7+
I was blind ? but now that I can see
    E minor 7Em7  Dm7Dm7   Am7-5 B7B7+    C9C9 A9A9
Every sign-  post in na-  ture, said you be-


Verse 4:
G+G       G/BG/B
long to me, I know it's true
Cadd9Cadd9       Dsus4Dsus4  D MajorD
It's written in a sky as blue
  E minorEm        Bm7Bm7
As blue as your eyes
Cadd9Cadd9        Dsus4Dsus4  D MajorD
 As blue as your eyes
G+G               G/BG/B
 If nature's red in tooth and claw
   Cadd9Cadd9             Dsus4Dsus4  D MajorD
Like winter's freeze and summer's thaw
B7B7+/G#         E minor 7Em7
 The wounds she gave me
     Cadd9Cadd9          Dsus4Dsus4  D MajorD
Were the wounds that would heal me


Verse 5:
  G+G        G/BG/B
And we'd be like the moon and sun
  Cadd9Cadd9       Dsus4Dsus4  D MajorD
And when our courtly dance had run

  E minorEm         Bm7Bm7
Its course across the sky
    Cadd9Cadd9       Dsus4Dsus4  D MajorD
Then to-gether we would lie
G+G          G/BG/B
 And out of the confusion
     Cadd9Cadd9       Dsus4Dsus4  D MajorD
Where the river meets the sea
     B7B7+/G#      E minor 7Em7
Something new would arrive
     Cadd9Cadd9        Dsus4Dsus4  D MajorD
Something better would arrive


Refrain:
    E minor 7Em7  Dm7Dm7   Cmaj7Cmaj7  B7B7+
I was brought ? to my senses,
   E minor 7Em7   Dm7Dm7     Cmaj7Cmaj7 B7B7+
I was blind ? but now that I can see
   E minor 7Em7  Dm7Dm7   F#7F#7+9 B7B7+    C9C9 A9A9 F#9F#9 F9F9 E minorEm
Every sign- post in na-  ture, said you be- long to me

    Repeat to the end . . .
