VERSE 1:
[A#add9] [Dm7] [G7sus4] If life is a
[C] river,
[G7sus4] and your heart is a
[C] boat
[F] And just
[F/E] like a
[Dm] water baby, baby
[A#] born to
[C] float
[G7sus4] And if life is a
[C] wild wind that
[G7sus4] blows way on
[C] high
[F] And your
[F/E] heart is A-
[Dm]-melia
[A#] dying to
[C] fly
CHORUS:
[A#] Heaven
[C] knows
[Am7] no fron-
[D]-tiers
[A#] And I've seen
[C] heaven in your
[A#add9] eyes
[Dm7] [G7sus4]
VERSE 2:
And if life is a
[C] bar room, in
[G7sus4] which we must
[C] wait
[F] Round the
[F/E] man with his
[Dm] fingers on the
[A#] ivory
[C] gates
[G7sus4] Where we sing until
[C] dawn, of our
[G7sus4] fears and our
[C] fates
[F] And we
[F/E] stack all the
[Dm] dead men in
[A#] self addressed
[C] crates
BRIDGE:
In your
[F] eyes, faint as the singing of a
[C] lark
That
[Am] somehow this black
[Dm] night
Feels warmer for the
[A#] spark, warmer for the
[F] spark
To hold us 'til the
[C] day, when
[Am] fear will lose its
[Dm] grip
And heaven has its
[A#] ways
REPEAT CHORUS:
INSTRUMENTAL: [A#add9] [C] [Am7] [D] /
[A#] [C]
VERSE 3:
If your life is a
[C] rough bed, of
[G7sus4] brambles and
[C] nails
[F] And your
[F/E] spirit's a
[Dm] slave to man's
[A#] whips and man's
[C] jails
[G7sus4] Where you thirst and you
[C] hunger for
[G7sus4] justice and
[C] right
[F] And your
[F/E] heart is a
[Dm] pure flame of
[A#] man's constant
[C] night
REPEAT BRIDGE:
BRIDGE EXTENDED:
And heaven has its
[F] ways, when all will harmon-
[C]-ise
And you
[Am] know what's in our
[Dm] hearts, the dream will real-
[A]-ise
REPEAT CHORUS: [x2]
