^Dm If life i^Cs a river and ^Fadd9your heart is a ^Dmboat ^CAnd just like a water baby, ^Dmbaby born to ^Gfloat ^Dm And if life is a ^Cwild wind that ^Fadd9blows way on ^Dmhigh ^CAnd your heart is Amelia ^Dmdying to ^Gfly ^FHeaven ^Gknows ^Edimno fron^Atiers ^DmAnd I've seen ^Gheaven in your ^Fadd9eyes

[Interlude] Fadd9 C Dm [Chorus]

^Dm And if life is a ^Cbarroom in ^Fadd9which we must ^Dmwait ^C'Round the man with his fingers on the ^Dmivory ^Ggates ^Dm Where we sing until ^Cdawn of our ^Fadd9fears and our ^Dmfates ^CAnd we stack all the dead men in ^Dmself addressed ^Gcrates

[Verse]

In your e^Cyes faint as the singing of a l^Gark That ^Fdimsomehow this black n^Amight Feels warmer for the sp^Fark Warmer for the sp^Cark To hold us 'til the d^Gay When ^Fdimfear will lose it's ^Amgrip And heaven has its ^Fway Heaven ^Gknows ^Edimno fron^Atiers ^DmAnd I've seen ^Gheaven in your ^Fadd9eyes

[Interlude] Fadd9 C Dm [Chorus]

^DmIf your life is a ^Crough bed of ^Fadd9brambles and ^Dmnails ^CAnd your spirit's a slave to man's ^Dmwhips and man's ^Gjails ^DmWhere you thirst and you ^Chunger for ^Fadd9justice and ^Dmright ^CAnd your heart is the pure flame of ^Dmman's constant ^Gnight

[Verse]

In your ^Ceyes faint as the singing of a ^Glark That ^Fdimsomehow this black ^Amnight Feels warmer for the ^Fspark Warmer for the s^Cpark To hold us 'til the d^Gay When ^Fdimfear will lose it's ^Amgrip And heaven has its ^Fway And heaven has its ^Cway

[Verse]

When all will harmo^Gnise And ^Fdimknow what's in our ^Amhearts The dream will rea^Flise Heaven ^Gknows ^Edimno fron^Atiers ^Dm And I've seen ^Gheaven in your ^Feyes Heaven ^Gknows ^Edimno fron^Atiers ^Dm And I've seen ^Gheaven in your ^Fadd9eyes ^C

================================================================== Track 2 - Past The Point Of Rescue [Verse]

^AmLast night I dreamed you were ba^Gck again ^FLarger than li^Cfe again, hol^Gding me ti^Amght again ^AmPlacing those same kisses o^Gn my brow S^Fweeter than e^Cver now, L^Gord I re^Ammember how ^GCouldn't get enough of kissing, ^Amdo you know how much I'm missing ^GNo you don't, but I ^D7do

[Verse] Days like a slow train trickle by Even the words that I write refuse to fly All that I can hear is your song haunting me Can't get the memory out of my head, you see Distractions I've been using Do you know how much you're losing No you don't, but I do [Chorus]

But I d^Co, and I wonder if I'm pa^Fst the point of re^Cscue I^Fs no word from y^Cou at all the b^Amest that you can d^Go ^GI never meant to push or shove you ^AmDo you know how much I love you ^GNo you don't but I ^D7do

================================================================== Track 3 - The Shadow [Intro] Am [Verse]

It's over now, the guns have ^Dmflowed The nightmare ^Gflashed^G7 on a cradle ^Croad ^F As the guilty ^Grain came ^E7down ^AmNo child to hold through anxious ^Dmfears No gentle ^Ghand^G7 to catch the ^Ctears ^F That so^Gak this ancient ^E7ground

[Verse]

The ^Amsmile that breaks so gently, be^Dmlies a troubled head Like the ^Gvoice that holds the ^G7secrets of a ^Clife you might have led ^GEyes with pale in^E7difference in ^Amdanger and in ^Fgrace But the ^Dmglance that knows the ^Gdeath-knell left its ^Cshadow on your face In the ^Amdeep, enduring darkness as ^Dmyour loyal friends go down Touched ^Gby the violent crown 'til their ^Fhunter's ^Ehunted ^Fdown

[Instrumental] Am Dm G C F G E7 [Verse]

The ^Amweb is slowly woven, the ^Dmendless dreamer shed In the ^Gdawn, the curfew is ^G7broken on the ^CSunday morning's dead ^GCenturies of ^E7thunder take the ^Amcastle in the ^Fflood To the ^Dmcold night air of ^GLondon, where your ^Chands are bound in blood ^AmMidwinter deepened as the ^Dmparting turned inside A ^Gthousand times you cried, but the ^Fshadow ^Enever ^Fdied

[Verse]

It's ^Amover now, the guns have ^Dmflowed The nightmare ^Gflashed^G7 on a cradle ^Croad ^F As the guilty ^Grain came ^E7down ^AmNo child to hold through anxious ^Dmfears No gentle ^Ghand^G7, no graceful ^Cyears ^F Just bit^Gter ancient ^E7ground It's ^Amover now

I dream of Co^Clumbus...
