Chords for Flyleaf: Broken Wings (Acoustic Blender Session)

_ _ _ [E] _ This is Mike, [F#] we're at South By with Lyle Eve.
Hey.
[E] _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
[E] _ _ [A] _ _ _
We [F#] heard you just came back from a wild trip to Africa.
Yeah, [E] it was amazing.
We went to Rwanda.
14 [A] years ago they had a genocide there.
800,000 people were killed and we got to see the aftermath of the community.
My life is [C#m] completely changed forever by the [E] experience.
The people there [A] are so joyful and [F#] happy.
There's this whole campaign of forgiving and reconciling with each other and [A] they're living
together like the [C#] perpetrators are [B] living together with the people who are victims and
they're living in peace and their kids play together and [A] they're intermarrying and it's
[E] incredible [A] to see.
It was the most beautiful place I've ever seen in my life.
It makes you [E] really appreciate everything you got.
[A] Thank you for being such a friend to me.
[E] Oh, I pray [A] a friend for [G] life.
It's called a country of a thousand [Em] hills.
And now a thousand [A] smiles.
Yeah, because their [Am] kids are like they don't see white people very often.
So [B] every time they [A] saw us the kids would come out to the street and run real fast and wave
and they'd go, Mazungu, [B] Mazungu.
That means white person, white person.
And they would wave and if you waved at them they got [A] so excited.
I don't tell you [C#m] what I feel.
[E] _ [A] I'm contemplating phrases.
_ When you come out of that [B] there's not really a lot of, kind of makes you, feels like you've
been put in your place and you have to, [C#] it feels like you need a lot of time to go over
the things that are important to you and what you do [B] talk about and whether you're just
using idle words all the time and you know how that can be dangerous or [C#]
time wasting,
you know.
It's that feeling of [B] speechlessness and almost like you need time to be respectful of [A] what
you just [F#m] experienced.
[A] I'm gazing at [D] eternal love _ [F#m] _ _ [A] and _ [D] serenity.
[F#m] And I [B] am so lost [A] for words. _ _ _ _
[F#m] And I am [E] so sad. _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Before we went on [B] this trip we planned to come here and do the show.
And if they had asked us right after we probably would have said no because of the difference,
the stark difference in the time we need [Em] to process everything.
But we did want to come here [E] because we wanted to play for [C] Austin that we haven't played
for in a long time.
It's our [E] hometown, it's where we started, it's where we met everybody that [B] helped us
get where we are now and it's kind of like a homecoming [G] in a way.
What are you hoping your fans get from your next record?
[N] We want to be honest.
We want them to feel like we've really spoken [E] who we are.
Me and Pat both [A] started drawing because there's a lot of things that we saw.
The [F#] communication was kind of little [C] because we don't speak the language but it [B] was, I
don't know, so we have to figure out how to sit down and say what you can't [E] say in music
which is exactly what we want [B] to do with music, you know, so it's going to be a good [E] challenge.
Please don't [A] go just yet.
_ _ _ Can we stay a moment please?
_ _ [F#m] _ _
[A] We can dance together, _ _ _
[C#m] _ [E] we can [A] dance forever.
_ [D] Love _ your [B] _ stars _ [A] tonight.
_ _ _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
Dance straight.
[A] _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] We just want to make sure that we show [C#] our hearts enough where people feel like there's
hope and same [N] thing that we've been doing.
I want to be honest.
I don't know, this is going to be [F] different since we've matured a lot and we've experienced
a lot of new things [F#] so I think that will really come through.
[E] Hey, I'm Lacey.
And I'm Jared.
And we're [B] Flyleaf and you're watching Blender [A].com. _
