Elton John - The Open Chord Lyrics
(Verse)
U gotta think about it
U gotta make a wish and count to ten
There's just a sense of wonder
I feel a new direction lookin' down the lens
Jump started the action
Heard a song in my head and wrote it down
It came out of nowhere
Felt a new sensation drivin' u thru' town
(Chorus)
You're an open chord I wanna play all day
A new broom sweepin' up the sins I no longer play
Cleanin' out the corners
Clippin' out the horrors
That the Devil used to make me wear all day
You're an open chord I'm gonna play all day
(Verse 2)
You're gonna see some changes
Gotta pinch myself just to believe
Everybody's havin' somethin'
But I can tell you've got some magic up ur sleeve
Some deep protection
When a feelin' follows u around
I always need the silence
Or the lightnin' u bring like a new good sound
(Chorus)
(Verse 3)
Sat around and waited for a spark
And it brightened up the night
Before I get much older
I want the pleasure of seein' u up in lights
I could then beside u
Hand over my heart and say a prayer
Love's not for quitters, it's a satisfaction
Knowin' that you're there
(Chorus)
(Verse)
U gotta think about it
U gotta make a wish and count to ten
There's just a sense of wonder
I feel a new direction lookin' down the lens
Jump started the action
Heard a song in my head and wrote it down
It came out of nowhere
Felt a new sensation drivin' u thru' town
(Chorus)
You're an open chord I wanna play all day
A new broom sweepin' up the sins I no longer play
Cleanin' out the corners
Clippin' out the horrors
That the Devil used to make me wear all day
You're an open chord I'm gonna play all day
(Verse 2)
You're gonna see some changes
Gotta pinch myself just to believe
Everybody's havin' somethin'
But I can tell you've got some magic up ur sleeve
Some deep protection
When a feelin' follows u around
I always need the silence
Or the lightnin' u bring like a new good sound
(Chorus)
(Verse 3)
Sat around and waited for a spark
And it brightened up the night
Before I get much older
I want the pleasure of seein' u up in lights
I could then beside u
Hand over my heart and say a prayer
Love's not for quitters, it's a satisfaction
Knowin' that you're there
(Chorus)
