James - Imagine Ourselves

Taken from the single I Know What I'm Here For

Written and performed by James

Song Structure:

There are no guitars in this song.  If you want to play the chords, a capo placed at the third fret reduces it to mostly simple open chords (e.g. the chorus becomes C G Am F).  Although the chord structure is more complex than a typical James song, once you've got the verse chords and the chorus chords sorted the only different bit is the "these words, turn into light" bit, which I've tabbed out anyway.

Note: Cmb6 <x35544>, Gm/D <x55333>
Lyrics/Chords:

Cm      Cmb6        Eb      Gm/D
You and me    we're all the same,

Cm     Cmb6      Eb        Gm/D
All in wrestling with some pain,

Cm  Cmb6     Eb      Gm/D
Separation's killing me,

   Cm  Cmb6   Eb         Bb        Eb
Communication cross this sea,

 
    Bb
Oh, imagine ourselves,

Cm                Db               Eb
Disintegrating to light,

     Bb
Oh, imagine ourselves,


Cm           Cmb6
Tonight,

  Eb         Bb
Tonight

 

I'm connected to your charge,

Make the circle,

With this star,

 

Oh, imagine ourselves,

Disintegrating to light,

Oh, imagine ourselves,

Disintegrating tonight,

 

Oh, imagine ourselves,

Disintegrating to light,

Oh, imagine ourselves,

Db
Tonight,


      Cm
These words,

          Db
Turn into light,

   Cm
We fade,

        Eb
Through space,

   Cm
No self-contains,

   Db
We shine,

  Eb
Beneath the seas,

  Bb
A flame,

 

Through the phone line,

To my heart,

Feel so close,

So far apart,

 

Oh, imagine ourselves,

Disintegrating to light,

Oh, imagine ourselves,

Disintegrating tonight,

 

Oh, imagine ourselves,

Disintegrating to light,

Oh, imagine ourselves,

Tonight
