This Is chords and lyrics - GRACE JONES

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[Em]This is my voice
My weapon of choice
This is life

[Verse 2]
This is life
[Em]This is plate
This is a cup
This is a story I didn't make up
This is a girl lost in the woods
Some kind of wagon from
some other 'hood

[Verse 3]
[Em]This is a voice
These are the hands
This is technology

[Verse 4]
Mixed with the band
[Em]Are you going into the light
Are you free of fear today
When you lie down to sleep do

[Verse 5]
you kind of float away
[Em]
This is life

[Verse 6]
This is life
[Em]Most of my crimes are of
optimism
40 thousand volts of recognition
They tried to strip me of dignity
But I still have tenacity

[Verse 7]
[Em]These are the words I didn't invent

[Verse 8]
Only an attempt to say what I meant
[Em]This is the paper
This is the pen
This is my weapon
A means to [Am]an end
[Bm][Em][B][Em]

[Verse 9]
[Em]Are you going into the desert
You're out of control of your fate
There are no warriors without a war

[Verse 10]
So get ahead before it's too late
[Em]

[Verse 11]
This is life (ya'll)
[Em]Lay down your spear
Let go your fear
Far becomes near

[Verse 12]
[Em]Oh Lord
This is life (hey!)

[Verse 13]
This is the tree The Buddha slept under
[Em]
These are the clouds

[Verse 14]
This is our thunder
[Em]This is what makes me
look up and wonder
Into the eye of the wind
Through the [Am]rain
On to the [Em]plain
[Am]

[Verse 15]
[Em]This[Am][Em][C][Em]
is
what I'm focused on
This is my head on straight
This is the harness
This is the bait
This is me

[Verse 16]
I'm flying again
[Em]This is a lawyer
Professional liar
There, Taking

[Verse 17]
Igniting the fire
[Em]This is the key
This is the door
Imagine the view from the
basement floor

[Verse 18]
[Em](Hey!)
Now you're going into the desert
You're out of control of your fate
Are you a slave in a chain of command

[Verse 19]
Serving up another man's head
[Em]
This is life
Lay down your spear
Let go your fear
Far becomes near
Look out

[Verse 20]
This is life
[Em]Are you going into the light
Are you freeing your fear today
When you lie down to sleep

[Verse 21]
Do you kind of float away
[Em]This is depression
It comes when you're blocking
This is expression
It comes when your rocking

[Verse 22]
This [Em]is life

[Verse 23]
This is (ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!)
This is (ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!)
This is (ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!)
This is (ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!)
This is (ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!)
[G]This is (ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!)
When you [Em]lie

[Verse 24]
down to sleep
Do you [G]kind of float away
(This is a plate, this [Em]is a cup,
this is a story, this is a story [G]I didn't make up)
When you [Em]lie

[Verse 25]
down to sleep
Do [G]you kind of float away
[Em](This is a plate,
this is a cup, this is a story I didn't make [G]up)
This is the world still [Em]healing

[Verse 26]
This is man that's [G]feeling
[Em]This [G]is the world still [Em]turning
This is the rage still burning
[G]This is the man not [Em]learning
This is life
