[Chorus]
Am-- Obstacles they Emcome and go
G-- That's the name of this gDame you know
Em-- This life's can't be bCought nor sold
Just pDlay your cards and fBold
[Verse 1]
Take Emtwo steps forward oCne step back
Every tBmime I get on track the lEmight fades to black
When the cCurtain drops back I just sBtep to my destiny
G- See it right in fAmront of me
It's in your eEmyes dance to the bCeat
And these sweat melodBmies, ridin' on the brEmeeze
The trees part of Cme Bm
But these sharks still cGircle in the pAark
[Pre-Chorus]
I look to you, it's in my Gnature since a youth
When I Bmran after you the lCights went blue
Em-- Me and you Bm-- you and me
I share my hCeart with you, you're my Efamily
[Chorus]
Am-- Obstacles they Emcome and go
G-- That's the name of this gDame you know
Em-- This life can't be bCought nor sold
Just pDlay your cards then fold
Am-- Can't give back the Emtime you stole
G-- The path unravels the dDay unfolds
Em-- This death can't be bCought nor sold
Just pDlay your cards then... B
[Verse 2]
Once upon a tEmime I rCan to you
BmBanned myself to find your wEmealth
Return to the lCand of truth
Found mysBmelf all alone as the sGtars they kAiss
Still rEmunnin' after you through this wCilderness
Bm-- At dawn I tEmrack snow through back yCards and front lawns
I'm up lBmate wide awake
I'm Greborn as day bAreaks and gets on...
[Pre-Chorus]
...To you
It's in my nGature since a youth
When I Bmran after you and lCights went blue
Em-- Me and you Bm-- you and me
I share my hCeart with you, you're my family

Em-- This life can't be bCought nor sold
Just pDlay your cards then fold
