[Intro]
B F# C#m B F# E
[Verse 1]
C#m
Nobody knows
B F#
Just why we're here
C#m
Could it be fate
B F#
Or random circumstance
C#m
At the right place
B
At the right time
F# E
Two roads intertwine
C#m B F#
And if the universe conspired
C#m
To meld our lives
To make us
B F#
Fuel and fire
C#m
Then know
B
Where ever you will be
F# E
So too shall I be
[Chorus]
B
Close your eyes
F#
Dry your tears
C#m E
'Coz when nothing seems clear
F# B
You'll be safe here
F#
From the sheer weight
C#m
Of your doubts and fears
E
Weary heart
F# B
You'll be safe here
[Verse 2]
C#m
Remember how we laughed
B F#
Until we cried
C#m
At the most stupid things
B F#
Like we were so high
C#m B F#
But love was all that we were on
E
We belong
C#m
And though the world would
B F#
Never understand
C#m
This unlikely union
B F#
And why it still stands
C#m B F#
Someday we will be set free.
E
Pray and believe
[Chorus]
B F#
When the light disappears
C#m E
And when this world's insincere
F# B
You'll be safe here
F# C#m
When nobody hears you scream
E
I'll scream with you
F# B
You'll be safe here
F# A F#
AAhhhhhhh oooohhhhhh ahaaa
B
Save your eyes
F#
From your tears
C#m E
When everything's unclear
F# B
You'll be safe here
F#
From the sheer weight
C#m
Of your doubts and fears
E
Wounded heart
B F#
When the light disappears
C#m E
And when this world's insincere
F# B
You'll be safe here
F# C#m
When nobody hears you scream
E
I'll scream with you
F# B
You'll be safe here
F
In my arms
C#m
Through the long cold night
E
Sleep tight
F# B
You'll be safe here
F# C#m
When no one understands
E
I'll believe
F# B
You'll be safe
F#
You'll be safe
A
You'll be safe here aoooohhh ooooh
B F# E
Put your heart in my hands
F# B
You'll be safe here
How to play "You'll Be Safe Here" by Rivermaya on guitar
Intro and Verses:
- Start with the intro progression B F# C#m B F# E.
- This song primarily utilizes a soothing, melodic pattern.
- For the verses, use C#m, B, F#, and E. Pay attention to the
emotional content of the lyrics as you transition between these chords.
Chord Transitions:
- The movement from C#m to B to F# should be smooth. Focus on
the finger positioning and try to make the changes clean and precise.
- Transitioning to E provides a resolution to the sequence, so
ensure it rings out clearly.
Chorus:
- The chorus steps up the emotional intensity. It begins on B,
transitions through F#, moves to C#m, and resolves on E.
- Strum these chords with a blend of down and up strokes to
emphasize the lyrical plea for safety and assurance.
- The lyrics "You'll be safe here" should coincide with a strong
strum on B to anchor the chorus's message.
Bridge:
- The bridge uses an A to F# transition which adds a lift before
returning to the familiar sequence for the chorus.
- Use a more reflective strumming pattern here to contrast with
the more robust chorus.
Common Mistakes:
- Not balancing the dynamics between the verses and chorus can
result in a performance that feels flat. Increase intensity in the
chorus and pull back slightly in the verses.
- Rushing through the transitions, especially around the more
emotional parts of the song, can disrupt its flow.
General Tips:
- Emotion is key in this song. Match your playing intensity to the
sentiment expressed in the lyrics.
- Practice the chord changes slowly at first to ensure accuracy,
then gradually increase speed to match the song's tempo.
- Ensure your guitar is well-tuned, particularly for the chords
that need to resonate clearly, like B and E.
Lyrics Meaning:
- "You'll Be Safe Here" expresses a deep reassurance and a promise
of safety amidst the uncertainties and fears of the world. It speaks
to a profound commitment to protect and comfort, suggesting an
emotional refuge in times of need.
