The Open Chord - Elton John

You gotta think about it

You gotta make a wish and count to ten

There’s just a sense of wonder

I feel a new direction looking down the lens

Jump started the action

Heard a song in my head and wrote it down

It came out of nowhere

Felt a new sensation driving you through town

You’re an open chord I wanna play all day

A new broom sweeping up the sins I no longer play

Cleaning out the corners

Clipping out the horrors

That the Devil used to make me wear all day

You’re an open chord I’m gonna play all day

You’re gonna see some changes

Gotta pinch myself just to believe

Everybody’s having something

But I can tell you’ve got some magic up your sleeve

Some deep protection

When a feeling follows you around

I always need the silence

Or the lightning you bring like a new good sound

You’re an open chord I wanna play all day

A new broom sweeping up the sins I no longer play

Cleaning out the corners

Clipping out the horrors

That the Devil used to make me wear all day

You’re an open chord I’m gonna play all day

Sat around and waited for a spark

And it brightened up the night

Before I get much older

I want the pleasure of seeing you up in lights

I could then beside you

Hand over my heart and say a prayer

Love’s not for quitters

It’s a satisfaction

Knowing that you’re there

You’re an open chord I wanna play all day

A new broom sweeping up the sins I no longer play

Cleaning out the corners

Clipping out the horrors

That the Devil used to make me wear all day

You’re an open chord I’m gonna play all day

Cleaning out the corners

Clipping out the horrors

That the Devil used to make me wear all day

You’re an open chord I’m gonna play all day

You’re an open chord I’m gonna play all day
