1. You ask me to          believe in magic,

          G                    Em     Am               D

    expect me to commit suicide of the heart,

                    G        Em               C                     G

    And you ask me to play this game without question,

     Am              C                    Am            D

    raising the stakes on this shotgun roulette.

 

           G                   D              Am             C

Every river I try to cross, every hill I try to climb,

           G                     D                Am             C

every ocean I try to swim, every road I try to find.

              G              D        Em                   C

All the ways of my life I’d rather be with you,

                    G - D        Em         - C    G

there’s no wa......y without you.         Oh.

 

                   G          Em  - C                              G

2. But you came to me          like the ways of children,

      G              Em          Am        D

    simple as breathing, easy as air,

                     G                  Em                  C                     G

    Now the years hold no fears, like the wind they pass over,

    Am           C        Am         D

    loved, forgiven, washed, saved.
