Dm
I'm not telling you to love what I love.
Am
I'm asking you to take time to know what it is that you love and love with.
Am
And do what you can not to offend your sensitive soul.
EmAm
You've seen things my lips can't confess.
Am
No pain can bear witness to.
Am
My mind can justify.
Am
My memory can wipe
[Verse 1: Emeli Sandé]
DmF
Let me love, let me touch, let me love
DmAm
Baby, give it up, let me drink from the fountain
F
In the car, on the street, in the dark
AmDmAm
Baby, on the beach, in the back of the garden
[Chorus: Emeli Sandé]
DmAm
Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready
DmAm
Oooh ooh, don't stop
DmAm
Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready
DmAm
Oooh ooh, don't stop
[Verse 2: Emeli Sandé]
AmDmC
You're in the club, how you dance, how you touch
DmAm
How you offer up all your love and devotion
DmAm
Roll it up, spark it up, let it burn
DmAm
On the balcony, and we can fly to the ocean
[Chorus: Emeli Sandé]
DmAm
Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready
DmAm
Oooh ooh, don't stop
DmAm
Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready
DmAm
Oooh ooh, don't stop
[Verse 3: Emeli Sandé]
AmDm
You make it real, make me feel, make me feel
AmC
I'm as strong as steel and as tall as the mountains
AmDm
Talk is cheap, can you rescue me?
FAm
No place I'd rather be than the back of the garden
[Chorus: Emeli Sandé]
DmAm
Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready
DmAm
Oooh ooh, don't stop
DmAm
Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready
DmAm
Oooh ooh, don't stop
[Verse 4: Jay Electronica]
Am
Once upon a time ago
F
I threw my cautions to the wind, my friend
Am
And yelled, "Geronimo!"
EmAm
And rode the wings of love to outer space
F#mAm
But then I fell a thousand miles to Guantanamo
F
Euphoria to torture
AmEm
I left a note that had a rhyme, it go:
F
Love is like a ferris wheel
AmF
Love is like a roller coaster
Am
Love is at a standstill
C
Body after body after body
Am
It's a landfill
F
And I just caught a body
F
In the lobby and got my hands filled
AmC
I'm a serial lover
Am
I set up all the dates
Am
That rang up fate and got my friends k*
Em
I barely knew my dad, sometimes I feel like my mother
Am
I love that Purple Rain love
Am
That have a fight, that scratch-my-face
F
That fuck outside and ride my motorcycle in the rain love
FAmF
Love is like a garden, love is like a death sentence
FEmAm
Love is like a pardon, I'm free again and ready
CF
Once outside these prison walls, to believe again is scary
F
Your garden is my sanctuary
[Chorus: Emeli Sandé]
Am
Back of the garden
DmAm
Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready
DmAm
Oooh ooh, don't stop
DmAm
Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready
DmAm
Oooh ooh, don't stop
DmAmF
Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready
DmAm
Oooh ooh, don't stop
DmAmF
Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready
DmAm
Oooh ooh, don't stop
[Outro: Áine Zion]
Am
Be my confidant, my shoulder, my diary,
my best friend, my mentor,
EmAm
my lover, my teacher, my preacher,
my one and ending, my everything.
DmAmDm
From the beam of the sun to the dim of the moon.
AmDm
From before until always I'm yours.
Am
So keep me safe within yourself.
C
Bow to my throne,
Am
no matter what,
DmAm
and I will stand tall
