VERSE 1: [Cadd9][Em7][A7sus4] If life is a [D] river, [A7sus4] and your heart is a [D] boat [G] And just [G/F#] like a [Em] water baby, baby [C] born to [D] float [A7sus4] And if life is a [D] wild wind that [A7sus4] blows way on [D] high [G] And your [G/F#] heart is A-[Em]-melia [C] dying to [D] fly
CHORUS: [C] Heaven [D] knows [Bm7] no fron-[E]-tiers [C] And I've seen [D] heaven in your [Cadd9] eyes [Em7][A7sus4]
VERSE 2:
And if life is a [D] bar room, in [A7sus4] which we must [D] wait [G] Round the [G/F#] man with his [Em] fingers on the [C] ivory [D] gates [A7sus4] Where we sing until [D] dawn, of our [A7sus4] fears and our [D] fates [G] And we [G/F#] stack all the [Em] dead men in [C] self addressed [D] crates
BRIDGE:
In your [G] eyes, faint as the singing of a [D] lark
That [Bm] somehow this black [Em] night
Feels warmer for the [C] spark, warmer for the [G] spark
To hold us 'til the [D] day, when [Bm] fear will lose its [Em] grip
And heaven has its [C] ways
VERSE 3:
If your life is a [D] rough bed, of [A7sus4] brambles and [D] nails [G] And your [G/F#] spirit's a [Em] slave to man's [C] whips and man's [D] jails [A7sus4] Where you thirst and you [D] hunger for [A7sus4] justice and [D] right [G] And your [G/F#] heart is a [Em] pure flame of [C] man's constant [D] night
