VERSE 2:
And if life is a
[E] bar room, in
[B7sus4] which we must
[E] wait
[A] Round the
[A/G#] man with his
[F#m] fingers on the
[D] ivory
[E] gates
[B7sus4] Where we sing until
[E] dawn, of our
[B7sus4] fears and our
[E] fates
[A] And we
[A/G#] stack all the
[F#m] dead men in
[D] self addressed
[E] crates
BRIDGE:
In your
[A] eyes, faint as the singing of a
[E] lark
That
[C#m] somehow this black
[F#m] night
Feels warmer for the
[D] spark, warmer for the
[A] spark
To hold us 'til the
[E] day, when
[C#m] fear will lose its
[F#m] grip
And heaven has its
[D] ways
REPEAT CHORUS:
INSTRUMENTAL: [Dadd9] [E] [C#m7] [F#] /
[D] [E]
VERSE 3:
If your life is a
[E] rough bed, of
[B7sus4] brambles and
[E] nails
[A] And your
[A/G#] spirit's a
[F#m] slave to man's
[D] whips and man's
[E] jails
[B7sus4] Where you thirst and you
[E] hunger for
[B7sus4] justice and
[E] right
[A] And your
[A/G#] heart is a
[F#m] pure flame of
[D] man's constant
[E] night
REPEAT BRIDGE:
BRIDGE EXTENDED:
And heaven has its
[A] ways, when all will harmon-
[E]-ise
And you
[C#m] know what's in our
[F#m] hearts, the dream will real-
[C#]-ise
REPEAT CHORUS: [x2]
