Renaissance by Mat Kearney from the album "Nothing Left To Lose" Chords Used: Bm G D Asus4 Standard Tuning: Intro: Bm G D Asus4 (2X) Play along to figure strumming pattern VERSE 1: Bm G D Asus4 (6X) Bm This is my renaissance G This is my one response D Asus4 This is the way I say I love you Bm This is my second chance G This is my one romance D This is the cutting line Asus4 On which I stand to show you Bm It happened fast in a flash just this evening G I hit the gas, horn blast, brakes screaming D Car crash, broken glass, broke my dreaming Asus4 I hit the dash so fast my ears are ringing Bm My sister’s on the right side just slightly leaning G I grabbed her hand hard until she started breathing D My brother’s in the back jaw cracked from the beating Asus4 The breath in my chest has slipped and I’m sinking Bm Blinking through diamond spider webs of cracked glass G I’m trying to remember all the words you said in the past D Through the ash, siren screams and red beams Asus4 I hear you sing softly to me CHORUS: D G Asus4 D (2X) D I can be the wall when you fall down G Find me on the rocks when you break down Asus4 I heard it in the song when you call out D But I got to say now it’s got to change (REPEAT) BREAK: Bm G D Asus4 (1X) Bm This is my broken heart G This is my bleeding start D Asus4 This is the way I’ve come to know you Bm This is my winding road G This is my way back home D Asus4 This is the narrow door you know that I will walk through VERSE 2: Bm G D Asus4 (4X) Bm I got a letter today of why she went away G She said, it’s better this way, you know I never could stay D Half empty closets and frames, all that’s left to my name Asus4 As she left in the rain and left my heart on a chain Bm Three years I’ve built this two-face tower for hours on a lease G You gave me one yellow flower that said rest in peace D In pieces I’ve broken open to think too much or just enough Asus4 Alone to trust midst the rubble and the dust Bm Humbled, it took this much to break down and understand G Spent my life this far on castles made of sand D Tossed in the breakers in the palm of your hand Asus4 Now I can finally stand CHORUS: D G Asus4 D (4X) D I can be the wall when you fall down G Find me on the rocks when you break down Asus4 I heard it in the song when you call out D But I got to say now it’s got to change D G I can be the wall…………. Asus4 D I heard it in the song…………….. D G I can be the wall………………… Asus4 D I heard it in the song………………… Bm G D Asus4 (2X) Bm This is my renaissance G This is my one response D Asus4 This is the way I say I love you. End on Asus4
