“Safe and Sound” – Chris Cornell
Chords by Joan’s Genius 2009

Intro: F Am Eb Bb F C Dm Eb

Verse 1:
F           Am   Eb                Bb
 Think of a time when morning will come and you will wake up 
F            C      Dm             Eb
 Without the feeling that half the world has gone insane
F                 Am   Eb            Bb
 You'll open your eyes, reading your paper, a drink from your cup
F           C      Dm               Eb
 No one was burning down time while you were sleeping
Ab          Eb           Cm 
 I've never seen but I believe
C               F
  In a promised land

Chorus:
F    Am       Eb            Bb
 Why can't we pull this together?
F    Am       Eb          Bb
 One and all, now and forever
F    Am       Eb            Bb
 Why can't we pull this together?
              Gm              F           Eb        Bb
We can say we finally found a world that's safe and sound

Verse 2:
F           Am  Eb                 Bb
 Think of a place that you could believe in whatever you want
F            C     Dm                  Eb
 Not keep it secret, have to risk your life just to be yourself
F                     Am  Eb          Bb
 A place where you'll walk safely, no matter your color or age
F              C     Dm                        Eb
 More than the greed of you and me decides the fate of the day
Ab         Eb           Cm
 I'd never seen but I believe
C              F 
 In a promised land

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge:
Gm           F                    Eb                             Bb
  I'd rather see you setting free than watch the curtains coming down

Verse 3:
F           Am  Eb                  Bb
 Think of a life you won't take the breath from somebody else
F                 C       Eb            Bb
 One where you're seeking more than yourself

(Repeat Chorus 2x)

Outro:
Gm           F                    Eb                             Bb
  I'd rather see you setting free than watch the curtains coming down
