Chords with lyrics
Capo 1
C majorC
If we can cross at the place that divides us.
Cross the river, the river so wide,
If we can smother the pain that's inside us,
G+G
Deny the demons that wait by our side,
FF C majorC
We can find, find the light
C majorC
Our nights are filled with the light of the same moon,
We share the comfort of the same stars.
Our days are bright with the light of the same sun,
G+G
That don't matter, can't you see what we are,
FF C majorC
What we are, what we become?
F/CF/C G/C
Keep our sights on the way ahead,
F/D G/DG/D
Don't look back, it won't help us now.
C/EC/E E minorEm FF
The storm we left so far behind
C/GC/G G/AG/A
Seems a dark memory that starts to fade,
F/D C majorC
But till we see the light we will not be safe.
C majorC
We all sink or swim in the same ocean,
Break our skin and we will bleed
Our minutes pass with the same motion,
G+G
We face the same danger, we share the same needs,
FF C majorC
We're all the same, you and me.
F/CF/C G/C
Keep our sights on the way ahead,
F/D G/DG/D
Don't look back, that won't help us now.
C/EC/E E minorEm FF
Upstream, the river gets too wide
C/GC/G G/AG/A
So we must build that bridge right here,
F/D C majorC
Cause if we wait we will not reach the other side.
Solo: C majorC G+G F/GF/G C majorC
FF G+G
See under that clear blue sky
A minorAm G+G
The winds of change are blowing hard and long,
FF G+G C majorC
And they'll not stop to rest 'cause the change is gonna come
[Percussion only until G+G]
C majorC
Our nights are filled with the light of the same moon,
We share the comfort of the same stars.
Our days are bright with the light of the same sun,
G+G
That don't matter, can't you see what we are,
FF C majorC
What we are, what we become?
F/CF/C G/C
Keep our sights on the way ahead,
F/D G/DG/D
Don't look back, it won't help us now.
C/EC/E E minorEm FF
Cause upstream the river gets too wide
C/GC/G G/AG/A
And if we don't build that bridge right here, right now,
F/D C majorC
You know we'll never ever reach the other side.
