[Intro]
F  Am  Em    F


[Verse 1]
           Am
I look for love in
        Em    F
empty places
         Am
I get distracted
 when
      Em     F
I'm prayin'
           Am
I talk to God and
 dance
      Em   F
with Satan
          Am
I wish it was my
      Em
imagination

[Chorus]
Oh, Father, can
you
F           Am
wake me up
From the man
that I
Em
thought I was?
Oh, Father, can you
 F           Am
 wake me up?
'Cause it's bigger
     Em
than flesh and blood
Flesh and blood
F    Am   Em
Ooh, ooh, ooh
F    Am   Em    F
Ooh, ooh, ooh

            Am
Oh Lord the silence

dark in ages

Dm
I was blind by
lust I fell
Am
Trapped inside of
 living hell
G
Waiting for you to
           E
wake me up

I was lost even
to myself
Am
Trapped inside of
       Fm
living hell
G
Waiting for you to
           E
wake me up

Oh, Father, can you
F           Am
wake me up
Em
Mmm
From the man that I
F             Am
thought I was?
Em
Flesh and blood
Flesh and blood

How to play Flesh X Blood: key, chords and progression

Flesh X Blood by David Kushner keeps coming home to A minor (no sharps or flats). You need 7 chords: F, Am, Em, Dm, G, E and Fm.

Most of the song cycles through F – Am – Em – F (VI – i – v – VI in A minor). Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Good to know: on guitar, F and Fm need a barre or movable shape. Take the change into them slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
