This Guitar

C 
At seventeen 
G 
I hadn't seen 
Am 
The thing that makes us real 
Em 
Then I found you 
C 
At twenty-four 
G 
I wanted more 
Am 
When no one else would listen 
Em 
You sang to me 


          C 
You're my shoulder to cry on 
G 
You're the best of best friends 
D 
You brought fire to my fingers 
C                  G 
And brought joy to no end 
   C 
My brother, my sister 
   G 
My lover, my wife 
     D 
It's crazy I know 
         C               Em 
But this guitar saved my life 

( G  C  G  D ) 


C            G 
Broken down, border town 
Am 
Feels like the end of time 
Em 
Without you 
C 
You came to me 
G 
And made me see 
Am                  Em 
Caress me with your honesty endlessly 


          C 
You're my shoulder to cry on 
           G 
You're the best of best friends 
            D 
You brought fire to my fingers 
            C         G 
And brought joy to no end 
   C 
My brother, my sister 
   G 
My lover, my wife 
     D 
It's crazy I know 
         C               Em 
But this guitar saved my life 

( G  C  G  D  Em  G  C  G  D ) 


C            G 
Me with you, you with me 
Am 
The ghosts all disappear 
Em 
Naturally 
C 
You lay to rest 
G 
My emptiness 
Am                            F 
And show the world your beauty 
        C 
Through me 


          C 
You're my shoulder to cry on 
           G 
You're the best of best friends 
            D 
You brought fire to my fingers 
            C         G 
You brought joy to no end 
   C 
My brother, my sister 
   G 
My lover, my wife 
     D 
It's crazy I know 

But this guitar 
                     Em 
This guitar saved my life
