The Chords Strike Lyrics - Singles - Emily Plazek

Found my old songs today 

A library full of old words I'd say 

Remembered all I saw 

Suddenly fire lit this heart raw 

Spanish streets, American rush 

Forests, valleys, hollow's hush 

Those places, remember you now 

Something died and remained there somehow 

And the chords strike 

The chords strike 

The chords 

And I had to say goodbye for me to say hello 

To this new life without that pain I'd known 

I left them all behind, I left those parts to die 

Because I knew if I said goodbye 

Then I could choose new life 

And the chords strike 

The chords strike 

The chords strike 

Look at all I wrote 

How I bled, oh how I choked 

Strings play the background now 

They're growing and soon they will drown 

Knew I found my way out, 

Rewrote every line and doubt 

But I loved each of my songs 

The rivers that pulled me along 

And the chords strike 

The chords strike 

The chords 

And I had to say goodbye for me to say hello 

To this new life without that pain I'd known 

I left them all behind, I left those parts to die 

Because I knew if I said goodbye 

Then I could choose new life 

And the chords strike 

The chords strike 

The chords strike
