VERSE 1: [Eadd9][G#m7][C#7sus4] If life is a [F#] river, [C#7sus4] and your heart is a [F#] boat [B] And just [B/A#] like a [G#m] water baby, baby [E] born to [F#] float [C#7sus4] And if life is a [F#] wild wind that [C#7sus4] blows way on [F#] high [B] And your [B/A#] heart is A-[G#m]-melia [E] dying to [F#] fly
CHORUS: [E] Heaven [F#] knows [D#m7] no fron-[G#]-tiers [E] And I've seen [F#] heaven in your [Eadd9] eyes [G#m7][C#7sus4]
VERSE 2:
And if life is a [F#] bar room, in [C#7sus4] which we must [F#] wait [B] Round the [B/A#] man with his [G#m] fingers on the [E] ivory [F#] gates [C#7sus4] Where we sing until [F#] dawn, of our [C#7sus4] fears and our [F#] fates [B] And we [B/A#] stack all the [G#m] dead men in [E] self addressed [F#] crates
BRIDGE:
In your [B] eyes, faint as the singing of a [F#] lark
That [D#m] somehow this black [G#m] night
Feels warmer for the [E] spark, warmer for the [B] spark
To hold us 'til the [F#] day, when [D#m] fear will lose its [G#m] grip
And heaven has its [E] ways
VERSE 3:
If your life is a [F#] rough bed, of [C#7sus4] brambles and [F#] nails [B] And your [B/A#] spirit's a [G#m] slave to man's [E] whips and man's [F#] jails [C#7sus4] Where you thirst and you [F#] hunger for [C#7sus4] justice and [F#] right [B] And your [B/A#] heart is a [G#m] pure flame of [E] man's constant [F#] night
BRIDGE EXTENDED:
And heaven has its [B] ways, when all will harmon-[F#]-ise
And you [D#m] know what's in our [G#m] hearts, the dream will real-[D#]-ise
