Garden

	  		 


Intro: Áine Zion 
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.  
Em          Am 
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 
Dm           F 
Let me love, let me touch, let me love 
Dm               Am 
Baby, give it up, let me drink from the fountain 
            F 
In the car, on the street, in the dark 
Am    Dm            Am 
Baby, on the beach, in the back of the garden 


Dm            Am 
Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready 
Dm        Am 
Oooh ooh, don't stop 
Dm           Am 
Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready 
Dm        Am 
Oooh ooh, don't stop 


verse 2: Emeli Sandé 
Am                  Dm             C 
You're in the club, how you dance, how you touch 
Dm                        Am       
How you offer up all your love and devotion 
          Dm             Am 
Roll it up, spark it up, let it burn 
Dm                  Am 
On the balcony, and we can fly to the ocean 


Dm            Am 
Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready 
Dm        Am 
Oooh ooh, don't stop 
Dm           Am 
Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready 
Dm        Am 
Oooh ooh, don't stop 

verse 3: Emeli Sandé 
Am                Dm 
You make it real, make me feel, make me feel 
                      Am                 C 
I'm as strong as steel and as tall as the mountains 
Am             Dm 
Talk is cheap, can you rescue me? 
             F                  Am 
No place I'd rather be than the back of the garden 

 
Dm            Am 
Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready 
Dm        Am 
Oooh ooh, don't stop 
Dm           Am 
Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready 
Dm        Am 
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!" 
Em                            Am 
And rode the wings of love to outer space 
F#m               Am                 
But then I fell a thousand miles to Guantanamo 
            F 
Euphoria to torture 
Am            Em 
I left a note that had a rhyme, it go: 
               F 
Love is like a ferris wheel 
Am             F 
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 
Am                C 
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 
F                    Am F 
Love is like a garden, love is like a death sentence 
F                      Em  Am 
Love is like a pardon, I'm free again and ready 
                   C                                 F 
Once outside these prison walls, to believe again is scary 
F 
Your garden is my sanctuary 

 
Am 
Back of the garden 
Dm            Am 
Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready 
Dm        Am 
Oooh ooh, don't stop 
Dm           Am 
Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready 
Dm        Am 
Oooh ooh, don't stop 
Dm            Am  F 
Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready 
Dm        Am 
Oooh ooh, don't stop 
Dm           Am   F 
Oooh ooh ooh, I'm ready 
Dm        Am 
Oooh ooh, don't stop 


Outro: 
Am 
Be my confidant, my shoulder, my diary,  
my best friend, my mentor,  
Em                   Am 
my lover, my teacher, my preacher, 
my one and ending, my everything.  
Dm                   Am                 Dm 
From the beam of the sun to the dim of the moon. 
Am                       Dm 
From before until always I'm yours. 
Am 
So keep me safe within yourself. 
C 
Bow to my throne,  
Am 
no matter what,  
Dm                  Am 
and I will stand tall
