Orpheus — Sara Bareilles
Chords and lyrics for Orpheus by Sara Bareilles (key of D).
Verse 1
[D]Come by the fire, lay down your head
My love, I see you're growing tired
So set the bad day by the bed
And rest a [A]while, your eyes can close
You don't [Bm]have to do a thing but listen [G]to me sing
I know you miss the [D]world, the one you knew
The one where everything made sense
Because you didn't know the truth, that's how it [A]works
'Til the bottom drops out and we [Bm]learn
We're all just [G]hunters seeking solid ground[G]
Chorus
[D]Don't stop trying to find me here amidst the [F#m]chaos
Though I know it's blinding there's a [Bm]way out
[G]Say out [A]loud, we will not give up on love now[D]
No fear, don't you turn like Orpheus, just[F#m] stay here
Hold me in the dark and [Bm]when the day [E]appears
We'll [Asus4]say we did [A]not give up on love[D] today
[Dsus4] [D]
[Dsus4] [D]
[Dsus4] [D]
Verse 2
[Dsus4]I'll show you [D][Dsus4]good, [D]restore your faith[Dsus4]
I'll try and[D] somehow make a [Dsus4]meaning of the [D]poison in this [Dsus4]place
Convince you, [A]love,[Asus4] don't breathe it [A]in[Asus4]
You were [Bm]written in the stars that we are [G]swimming in
And it has no [D]name,[Dsus4] no [D]guarantee[Dsus4]
It's just the [D]promise of a [Dsus4]day I know that [D]some may never [Dsus4]see
But that's [A][Asus4]enough, if the [A]bottom drops [Asus4]out
I hope my [Bm]love was [G]someone else's solid ground[G]
Chorus
[D]Don't stop trying to find me here amidst the [F#m]chaos
Though I know it's blinding there's a [Bm]way out
[G]Say out [A]loud, we will not give up on love now[D]
No fear, don't you turn like Orpheus, just[F#m] stay here
Hold me in the dark and [Bm]when the day [E]appears
We'll [Asus4]say we did [A]not give up on love[D] [Dsus4]today[Dsus4][D]
We'll [G]say we did [A]not give up on love[D] [Dsus4][D][Dsus4]today[D][Dsus4][D]
