This is the chord progression of Orpheus by Sara Bareilles on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.
[Verse 1]
D
Come by the fire, lay down your head
My love, I see you\’re growing tired
So set the bad day by the bed
A
And rest a while, your eyes can close
Bm G
You don\’t have to do a thing but listen to me sing
D
I know you miss the world, the one you knew
The one where everything made sense
A
Because you didn\’t know the truth, that\’s how it works
Bm
\’Til the bottom drops out and we learn
G G
We\’re all just hunters seeking solid ground
[Chorus]
D F#m
Don\’t stop trying to find me here amidst the chaos
Bm
Though I know it\’s blinding there\’s a way out
G A D
Say out loud, we will not give up on love now
F#m
No fear, don\’t you turn like Orpheus, just stay here
Bm E
Hold me in the dark and when the day appears
Asus4 A D
We\’ll say we did not give up on love today
Dsus4 D
Dsus4 D
Dsus4 D
[Verse 2]
Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Dsus4
I\’ll show you good, restore your faith
D Dsus4 D Dsus4
I\’ll try and somehow make a meaning of the poison in this place
A Asus4 A Asus4
Convince you, love, don\’t breathe it in
Bm G
You were written in the stars that we are swimming in
D Dsus4 D Dsus4
And it has no name, no guarantee
D Dsus4 D Dsus4
It\’s just the promise of a day I know that some may never see
A Asus4 A Asus4
But that\’s enough, if the bottom drops out
Bm G G
I hope my love was someone else\’s solid ground
[Chorus]
D F#m
Don\’t stop trying to find me here amidst the chaos
Bm
Though I know it\’s blinding there\’s a way out
G A D
Say out loud, we will not give up on love now
F#m
No fear, don\’t you turn like Orpheus, just stay here
Bm E
Hold me in the dark and when the day appears
Asus4 A D Dsus4 D Dsus4
We\’ll say we did not give up on love today
G A D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
We\’ll say we did not give up on love today
