If there's lessons to be learned
G                                       Am

I'd rather get my jamming words in first, so
Am                                        C

Tell you something that I've found
                G

That the world's a better place
                Am

When it's upside down, boy
Am  C  G  Am …
If there's lessons to be learned,
I'd rather get my jamming words in first, so
When you're playing with desire
Don't come running to my place when it burns like fire, boy

Why don't you ride on my side of the tracks
Am  C  G  Am ..
If there's lessons to be learned

Tell you something that I've found
That the world's a better place
When it's upside down, boy
Am  C  G  Am ..
If there's lessons to be learned
I'd rather get my jamming words in first, so
When you're playing with desire
Don't come running to my place when it burns like fire, boy.

Guitar chords for beginners: "Sanctuary" by Gabriella Cilmi - chord illustrations

G                        Am

That old pair of jeans
G                               Am                         G

You always see me wearing when it's grey
                                Am

You know what I mean
G                            Am

I'm riding a lazy mood
G  Am  G  Am …
Cause you've been waiting got me ready to go
And I've been straying off the way that I know, keep me
Wise enough, nothing to owe
Guess I need ya and I want it to show
G  Am  G  Am …
Lying here in my sanctuary
Days go past it's autumn already
And I wish it would thunder
Lying here in my sanctuary
Days go past it's autumn already
And I sit here and wonder
G  Am  G  Am ...
And I'll kick off my shoes
Think about the things I'd like to do
Everything going smooth
There ain't nothing I'd rather do
G  Am  G  Am …
Cause you've been waiting got me ready to go
And I've been straying off the way that I know, keep me
Wise enough, nothing to owe
Guess I need ya and I want it to show
G  Am  G  Am …
Lying here in my sanctuary
Days go past it's autumn already
And I wish it would thunder
Lying here in my sanctuary
Days go past it's autumn already
And I sit here and wonder
G  Am  G  Am …
What I say and what I mean, are two very different things
Can't tell life from lies got a bad sense of spins
What I say and what I mean are two very different things,

Babe, it's time to figure it out
G  Am  G  Am …
Holding my hands in your hand and I won't let go
Keeping your words and your face is a place like home
I've been blind don't you know …

C                              Dm

We met in the winter
                        G      C

And we fell in love
C
Right by a fire place
We shared our first embrace
F

And then inside my heart
Fm

I felt a fire start
C

It's gonna snow outside
E                               Am

The weather will be cold
Am                       G                           C

But I'm gonna be warm (ho ho) this winter
C
Each time your lips touch mine
They taste like sparkling wine
F

I feel so warm and loved
Fm

Just cause I love you so
C  E  Am …
It's cosy in your arms
If you're so happy to hold
But I'm gonna be warm (ho ho) this winter
E                                   Am 
Ice skating on a frozen lake
E                                               Am

Sleigh riding down a mountain slide
D                             Dm

Roasting popcorn, dancing till the dawn
D                     G

That was how, a new love was born
C  F  Fm …
It's just like make believe
Each night is new years eve
Each day is Xmas day
You make me feel this way
It's gonna snow outside
The weather will be cold
But I'm gonna be warm (ho ho) this winter
C  E  Am …
You know it's gonna snow outside
The weather will be cold
But I'm gonna be warm (ho ho) this winter
                                         G            C
Oh Oh, You'll make me warm this winter
               Am             G                        C

Oh baby make me warm (ho ho) this winter
Oh Oh, You'll make me warm this winter
Oh baby make me warm (ho ho) this winter ...
