The Book Of My Life

Sting

Transposer:

Great stuff here by a true master Sting is truly the best. Standard tuning (sorry about the mystery notes as I am not sure what they are called.) Music and lyrics by Sting. The Book of my life. Let me [F#m]watch by the fire and remember my days And it [E]may be a trick of the firelight But the [B?/D#]flickering pages that trouble my sight Is a [D]book I’m afraid to write It’s the[F#m] book of my days it’s the book of my life And it’s []cut like fruit on the blade of knife And it’s[B?/D#] all there to see as the section reveals There’s[D] some sorrow in every life If it re[]ads like puzzle wa[]ndering maze Then I [F#m]won’t understand ’til the [D dim7]end of my days I’m still [D]forced to remember Rem[Bm]ember the words of my life [F?] (sorry that’s it for now more to come) There are promises broken and promises kept Angry words that were spoken when I should have wept There’s a chapter of secrets and words to confess If I lose everything that I possess there’s a chapter on loss and a ghost who won’t die There’s a chapter on love where the ink’s never dry There are sentences served in a prison I built out of lies. Though the pages are numbered I can’t see where they lead For the end is a mystery no-one can read In the book of my life There’s a chapter on fathers a chapter on sons There are pages of conflicts that nobody won And the battles you lost and your bitter defeat There’s a page where we fail to meet There are tales of good fortune that couldn’t be planned There’s a chapter on god that I don’t understand There’s a promise of Heaven and Hell but I’m damned if I see Though the pages are numbered I can’t see where they lead For the end is a mystery no-one can read In the book of my life Now the daylight’s returning And if one sentence is true All these pages are burning And all that’s left is you Though the pages are numbered I can’t see where they lead For the end is a mystery no-one can read In the book of my life Definitions E 012200 B?/D# 001202 D XX0232 A 002220 Bm 224432 Ddim7 xx1212 F? 2xxxxx (let ring)

La chanson évoque le voyage introspectif d'une vie, où chaque moment est consigné comme une page dans un livre. L’artiste réfléchit sur ses souvenirs, mêlant joie et douleur, mettant en lumière les promesses tenues et celles qui ont été brisées. À travers les chapitres de sa vie, il aborde des thèmes universels comme la perte, l’amour et les relations familiales, soulignant que même les échecs et les conflits font partie intégrante de l’existence. Le contexte se situe dans une contemplation profonde, presque spirituelle, où la luminosité du jour qui se lève contraste avec les ombres des souvenirs, suggérant une quête de compréhension et de rédemption à travers les épreuves et les leçons apprises. L'écriture devient un moyen d'explorer le sens de la vie, tout en laissant une part d'incertitude quant à l'avenir.
