Dressed in Black Lyrics

Chords
Open
Am Open F
I had given up, I didn't
Am Open F
know who to trust, oh.
So I designed a shell, kept me from
Am Open F
heaven and hell, oh
And I had hit a low, was all I
Am Open F
let myself know, oh.
Yeah I had locked my heart, I was imprisoned
Am Open F
by dark. (I was imprisoned by dark)
Chorus (no finger-picking just chords)
You found me dressed in black
hiding way up at the back
Life had broken my heart into pieces
You took my hand in yours
You started breaking down my walls
And you covered my heart in kisses
I thought life passed me by
Missed my tears, ignored my cries
Life had broken my heart, my spirit
And then you crossed my path
You quelled my fears, you made me laugh
Then you covered my heart in kisses
Verse (same as first verse)
I was down for the count, I was down
Am Open F
I was out, oh.
And I had lost it all, yes I was scared
Am Open F
I was torn.
I took to the night, I'd given
Am Open F
into the fight.
And I slipped further down, I felt like
Am Open F
I had drowned. (I felt like I had drowned)
You found me dressed in black
hiding way up at the back
Life had broken my heart into pieces
You took my hand in yours
You started breaking down my walls
And you covered my heart in kisses
I thought life passed me by
Missed my tears, ignored my cries
Life had broken my heart, my spirit
And then you crossed my path
You quelled my fears, you made me laugh
Then you covered my heart in kisses
Bridge (again, full chords)
I was hopeless and broken
You opened the door for me
Yeah i was hiding and you let the light in
And now i see
That you do for the wounded
What they couldn't seem to
You set them free
Like a butterfly kissing a child with an eye for the minor key
You found me dressed in black
hiding way up at the back
Life had broken my heart into pieces
You took my hand in yours (you took my hand in yours)
You started breaking down my walls
And you covered my heart in kisses
I thought life passed me by
Missed my tears, ignored my cries
Life had broken my heart, my spirit
And then you crossed my path
You quelled my fears, you made me laugh
Then you covered my heart in kisses
Eh, eh, eh, eh (x 12)
Then you covered my heart in kisses
