VERSE 1: [Dadd9][F#m7][B7sus4] If life is a [E] river, [B7sus4] and your heart is a [E] boat [A] And just [A/G#] like a [F#m] water baby, baby [D] born to [E] float [B7sus4] And if life is a [E] wild wind that [B7sus4] blows way on [E] high [A] And your [A/G#] heart is A-[F#m]-melia [D] dying to [E] fly
CHORUS: [D] Heaven [E] knows [C#m7] no fron-[F#]-tiers [D] And I've seen [E] heaven in your [Dadd9] eyes [F#m7][B7sus4]
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
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
