I Was Brought To My Senses Chords

(ver. 1)
Sting
Prologue part 1:
 Am7                        Dsus2
Alone with my thoughts this evening
  Am7                    Dsus2
I walked on the banks of Tyne
  Am7                  Dsus2
I wondered how I could win you
      Cadd9*   G       Dsus2
Or if I could make you mine
      Cadd9*   G       Dsus2
Or if I could make you mine


Prologue part 2:
    Am7               Dsus2
The wind it was so insistent
     Am7               Dsus2
With tales of a story south
     Am7                        Dsus2
But when I spied two birds in a sycamore tree
             Cadd9*   G     Dsus2
There came a dryness in my mouth
        Cadd9*  G    Dsus2
Came a dryness in my mouth


Prologue part 3:
    Am7                   Dsus2
For then without rhyme or reason
    Am7                      Dsus2
The two birds did rise up to fly
    Am7                      Dsus2
And where the two birds were flying
  Cadd9*      G       Dsus2
I swear I saw you and I
  Cadd9*      G       Dsus2
I swear I saw you and I

[Verse 1]
G                  G/B 
 I walked out this morning
              Cadd9
It was like a veil had been removed
       Dsus4   D
From before my eyes
Em7
For the first time I saw 
    Bm7
The work of Heaven
       Cadd9
In the line where the hills had been
               Dsus4   D
Married to the sky


[Verse 2]
G              G/B          Cadd9              Dsus4   D
   And all around me? every blade of singing grass
    B7+/G#            Em7
Was calling out your name and
         Cadd9                Dsus4   D
That our love would always last
G                   G/B          
   And inside every turning leaf
       Cadd9                Dsus4   D
Is the pattern of an older tree
    Em7              Bm7
The shape of our future
    Cadd9                   Dsus4   D
The shape of all our history

[Verse 3]
G                    G/B 
   And out of the confusion
          Cadd9            Dsus4   D
Where the river meets the sea
     B7+/G#            Em7
Came things I'd never seen
Cadd9             Dsus4   D
Things I'd never seen 


[Refrain]
       Em7    Dm7     Cmaj7     B7+
I was brought ? to my senses, 
       Em7      Dm7        Cmaj7  B7+
I was blind ? but now that I can see
       Em7   Dm7      Am7-5  B7+       C9  A9     
Every sign-   post in na-   ture, said you be-


[Verse 4]
G             G/B
long to me, I know it's true
Cadd9              Dsus4   D
It's written in a sky as blue
   Em                Bm7
As blue as your eyes
Cadd9               Dsus4   D
  As blue as your eyes
G                              G/B
  If nature's red in tooth and claw
     Cadd9                         Dsus4   D
Like winter's freeze and summer's thaw
B7+/G#                  Em7
  The wounds she gave me
          Cadd9                   Dsus4   D
Were the wounds that would heal me


[Verse 5]
    G                G/B
And we'd be like the moon and sun
    Cadd9              Dsus4   D
And when our courtly dance had run

    Em                 Bm7
Its course across the sky
        Cadd9             Dsus4   D
Then to-gether we would lie
G                   G/B
  And out of the confusion
          Cadd9             Dsus4   D
Where the river meets the sea
          B7+/G#            Em7
Something new would arrive
          Cadd9                Dsus4   D
Something better would arrive


[Refrain]
       Em7    Dm7     Cmaj7    B7+
I was brought ? to my senses, 
      Em7     Dm7          Cmaj7 B7+
I was blind ? but now that I can see
      Em7    Dm7     F#7+9 B7+        C9  A9  F#9  F9 Em
Every sign-  post in na-   ture, said you be- long to me

        Repeat to the end . . .
