The Tower Cifras

"THE TOWER" - NICOLE ATKINS (acoustic)
The acoustic and CD version are very similar.
 
 
[Intro]
Am Am/G Am/F# F
 
 
[Verse 1]
Am         E     Dm                  Am
We built a tower for all the town to see
Am       E        Dm            Am
Bricks, concrete, metal and memories
           Dm                        Am
Inside the rocks and stone, spaces became our home
          Dm                    E
Arguments echoing, love made so high
              Am            E
Searching for words for the end
    Dm                     Am
But we built the tower too high
 
 
[Chorus]
         F             C           G           F
When the light finally dies and we look to the sky
        C            G
Will we finally know why?
Fm                     C
They call the dawn the morning
      Fm             Am Am/G Am/F# F
And I wish we'd said goodbye
 
 
[Verse 2]
Am       E       Dm                       Am
Years flying by, trapped all alone in the sky
    Am   E                Dm                       Am
And you, stories down and all of our loved ones outside
                 Dm
Our words turned out all wrong
           Am
Intentions lost in halls
          Dm                         E
Now all I want to do is tear down the walls
              Am            E
Searching for words for the end
    Dm                     Am
But we built the tower too high
 
 
[Chorus]
         F             C           G           F
When the light finally dies and we look to the sky
        C            G
Will we finally know why?
Fm                     C
They call the dawn the morning
      Fm             Am Am/G Am/F# F
And I wish we'd said goodbye
 
 
[Verse 3]
               Dm                     Am
Seems like the final day you'll ever come my way
             Dm                       E
So please forgive me if I hold on too tight, too tight
E
Tight, tight, tight
 
 
[Bridge]
          Am Am/G Am/F#
There's a tower
          Dm
There's a tower
          E
There's a tower, crumbling
          Am Am/G Am/F#
There's a tower
          Dm
There's a tower
          E
There's a tower
E                     Am
Crumbling, crumbling, down
 
 
[Outro]
            Am            E
So when the light finally dies
Dm                      Am
I'll know the answer to why
              Am    E
They call the dawn, mourning
Dm                          Am
Wish I could've told you goodbye.
