The Story In Your Eyes

Words & Music:

The Moody Blues

 

[bass walk-up:  E  G  A]

Am  Amsus2  Am  Amsus4  [3x]

[single note run:  E  G  A  A  B  C  D  E  D  C  B  A]

E9  [1st vox note = c]

 

          Am                 D

I've been thinking about our fortune.

           Am                             D

And I've decided that we're really not to blame.

        Am                 D                          G

For the love that's deep inside us, now, is still the same

 

And the sounds we make together

Is the music to the story in your eyes.

It's been  shining down upon me; now, I realize.

 

CHORUS:

Em                        F#m      G                       F#m

Listen to the tide slowly turning. Wash all our heartaches away.

A                        Bm     A

We're part of the fire that is burning.

             G            D             E

And from the ashes we can build another day.

 

But I'm frightened for your children

That the life that we are living is in vain.

And the sunshine we've been waiting for will turn to rain.

 

CHORUS:

 

But I'm frightened for the children

That the life that we are living is in vain.

And the sunshine we've been waiting for will turn to rain.

 

When the final line is over

It's certain that the curtain's gonna fall

I can hide inside your sweet, sweet love forever more.
