Chords for Myles Kennedy: A Thousand Words - Live At The Fox (Official Video)

_ _ _ A Thousand Words.
[E] So A Thousand [Em] Words _ _ _ _ _ _ _ is a song _ from a lyrical standpoint that was inspired
by a photograph, _ _ which very much, _ _ _ _ if you listen to the narrative of the song, _ _ [B] it _ goes into
that. _
[G#] _ [C] I come up with a chord progression [A#] and a melody that [C] I liked, sitting [Em] on the couch,
hanging out with my wife. _ _
She was scrolling through [C] her social media and a real dear friend
of ours, our father, had just [Em] passed away. _
_ She _ showed me an [B] image that was taken [A] at the
funeral of _ _ our [Dm] friend _ _ [E] at her father's funeral.
[Em] She snapped a picture of her _ _ mother, _ [A] or someone
did, _ standing over _ [G] her _ former husband's grave.
[A] It was just _ an [B] incredibly powerful image.
It just [D] _ _ _
_ hit me [E] like a freight train in [Em] the heart.
_ _ _ Well, [G] they say that a picture says a [D] thousand
words.
_ [Em] That was what [C] _ _ _ [D] _ came to [D] mind.
I [A] had that melody going in my head as well, and they fit
perfectly.
[C] _ _ _ [G] I knew that that was going to be [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
a theme _ [C] that _ _ _ _ was appropriate _ [Em] for the way the song
felt.
I knew that it was a theme that so [E] many of us could relate to.
[C#] _ _ [C] _ _ So, _ _ _ _ _ yeah, _ _ [F#] from _ a lyrical
[C] standpoint, that's where A Thousand Words comes from. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ [Em] _ _ It's called [E] A Thousand Words.
_ _ _ _ For real.
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
All right.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ Lost in an image like a ghost in time _ [Em] _ _ _
In ceremony _ _ of a last _ goodbye
[A] _ _ _ _
A lonely _ silhouette _ _ against a tortured _
[Em] _ sky _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ [C] I saw _ her _ in a _ photograph _
_ [E] She [Em] _ _ stood there _ broken _ _ -headed in her _ [E] hands [C] A moment _ _ caught in _ [G] time, my God, how [E] it's _ still _ _ _ _
Haunting [B] me _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] Well, they _ say that a picture's [A] worth a [Em] thousand _ words In [C] the ache of an image [A] I have seen [Em] the worst
Like [C] a million screams for mercy [D] that can't [A] be unheard _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] Cause in [G] times like these we must live [Em] and learn _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ Where will I go when I can't right the _ _ [E] _ _
[Em] wrongs?
Oh, will I turn to where I don't _ [E] belong? _
[C] _ _ The things I [E] took for granted way too _ long _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
[C] _ So much [A] left _ _ _ unsaid I _ _ cannot ignore _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ [C] anymore _ _ _ _
Well, they say that a _ [E] picture's worth a _ [Em] thousand words In [C] the ache of an image [A] I have seen [Em] the worst _
[C] Like a million screams for mercy that [A] can't be unheard _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] Cause in times [G] like _ these we must [B] live and learn _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] The _ image [C] in my _ _ _ mind A cause for a [Em] reason
_ Haunts me _ day and night In _ permanence [C] we _ _ find
_ Just like the _ seasons [Em] we fade out _ into time
_ Oh, _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ will they say that a picture's [D] worth a _ [Em] thousand words _ In [C] the ache of an image [D] I have seen [Em] the worst _
_ _ Well, _ _ _ _ [C] they say that a picture's [A] worth a thousand [Em] _ words In [C] the ache of an image [A] I have seen [Em] the worst

[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ So [C] I won't take for granted [A] or speak out of turn _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] Cause in [B] times like [G] these we must [Em] live and learn
