Intro-

    C  F  C  F

         C             F
Well the turtle lays a hundred eggs 
     C                  F
So a dozen might survive
   C                F
To wade across that sand and finally 
C                   F
Reach that sea alive
    C              F          C
And haunted by the memory of those 
             F
Fallen by my side
       C                   F
I keep reaching for that water 
       C                 F
Go headlong into the tide


    G         F
Headlong into the tide
                 C    F 
Headlong into the tide

C  F  


      C                F 
As we wander toward our destiny 
       C                       F
With a shell of guilt and shame
    C               F
As we contemplate our burdens 
    C                      F
And consider who's to blame
        C             F
In the face of such absurdity 
       C                 F
We can only laugh and cry 
        C             F
And the cycle just continues as we 
C                       F
Breathe and grow and die


     G                   F
As we breathe and grow and die
                    C   F
Breathe and grow and die

C  F


     C                 F
And for what is it we sacrifice 
     C                   F
And for what is it we gain
   C              F
If we mistake for knowledge 
        C                 F
What is only fear and pain
       C              F
In the shades of disappointment 
          C                    F
Shades of sorrow shades of grey
      C                  F
If we trade our love for anger 
       C                   F
Then we trade our lives away

      G                F
Yes we trade our lives away
                C   F
Trade our lives away


C  F 
G  G  F  F  C  C  F  F


     C              F
Well then isn't it ironic 
       C                  F
I have nothing left to say
      C                F
After all the distance I have come 
   C                F
To be with you today
  C                   F
I knew there would be sacrifice 
  C                     F
I knew it from the start
    C                    F
But now there's no dream big enough 
   C                   F
To hold my broken heart


   G          F
To hold my broken heart
            C        F
Hold my broken heart
   G          F
To hold my broken heart
            C     F  C  F  C*
Hold my broken heart.......

About LLG♥

I’m a wife, mother and self-taught guitarist.   I first picked up a guitar in 2010 and haven’t put it down since!  I’m not that great of a player, but I get by.  Besides, my talent isn’t in the playing, it’s in the ears ;)

I first discovered I had an ear for transcribing music while playing tabs on Ultimate Guitar.  So many of them were just wrong!   I started making correct versions and it just grew from there.   I left UG having tabbed over 300 songs on that site.  (I was the #1 Daily Contributor for over 2 years straight, now I’m down to #7.  Not bad since I haven’t posted a tab on UG in over 3 years!)

In 2013  I created Live Love Guitar and amazingly enough, I’m still here!  I think users know they can count on correct, well formatted tabs.  I try to make my tabs as easy as possible while still being correct.  This makes a huge difference for new players!  I would have quit playing had I not learned the beauty of a capo and transposing :)  My capo is my best friend!!

Thanks for visiting and I hope I can keep up with all the song requests, keeping Live Love Guitar alive!  :)
