Iris Hold Me Close(Chords)

	        My favorite song so far from the new album 'Songs Of Innocence' released yesterday (09.09.2014). 
Tried to give it ago and I think it sounds good. Tell what you think ! 


verse 1 : 
C        Am 
The star, 
               Em    D 
that gives us light 
                  C   Am 
Has been gone a while 
                  Em     D 
But it?s not an illusion 
     C      Am 
The ache 
        Em  D 
In my heart 
             C Am          Em   D 
Is so much a part of who I am 

Pre-Chorus : 
G                  Am 
Something in your eyes 
          Em                 D 
Took a thousand years to get here 

G                  Am 
Something in your eyes 
          Em                 D 
Took a thousand years, a thousand years 

Chorus : 
        C Am             Em                     D 
Hold me close, hold me close and don?t let me go. 
        C Am             Em                     D 
Hold me close like I?m someone that you might know 
        C  Am        Em                  D 
Hold me close the darkness just lets us see 
       C    Am   
Who we are 
               Em          D 
I?ve got your life inside of me 

C Am Em D x2 
Iris? Iris? 

Verse : 
C  Am       Em D              C    Am 
Once we are born, we begin to forget 
                   Em  D 
The very reason we came 
    C   Am 
But you 
              Em  D 
I?m sure I?ve met 
                  C                   Am 
Long before the night the stars went out 
                   Em    D 
We?re meeting up again 

Chorus : 

        C Am             Em                     D 
Hold me close, hold me close and don?t let me go. 
        C Am             Em                     D 
Hold me close like I?m someone that you might know 
        C  Am        Em                  D 
Hold me close the darkness just lets us see 
       C    Am   
Who we are 
               Em          D 
I?ve got your life inside of me 

C Am Em D x2 
Iris? Iris? 

MIDDLE : 
G Am Em                 D   
        The stars are bright but do they know 
G Am Em                    D 
        The universe is beautiful but cold 


OUTRO/Chorus 
                    C 
You took me by the hand 
    Am                       Em       
I thought that I was leading you 
            D                C 
But it was you made me your man 
  Am 
Machine 
   Em 
I dream 
       D 
Where you are 
C               Am 
Iris standing in the hall 
     Em              D 
She tells me I can do it all 
C                   Am 
Iris wakes to my nightmares 
       Em                 D 
Don?t fear the world it isn?t there 
C              Am 
Iris playing on the strand  
      Em               D 
She buries the boy beneath the sand, 
C               Am            Em 
Iris says that I will be the death of her 
D 
It was not me 

C Am Em D x2 
Iris? Iris? 

Free yourself, to be yourself if only you could see yourself
