Verse 1:
B                    C#m
  Tried to reach you yesterday
E                F#               B
 To lie the lion down beside the lamb
                  C#m
Tried to find the words to say
E                    F#                  G#m
  I tried to put the white dove in your hands

Pre-Chorus:
              G#m       C#m
I'm happy to take my turn
             C#m           D#m
I'm happy to live and learn
              D#m        E
I'm happy to let this slide
F#                B
Till you come around

Chorus:
             C#m           G#m
Cause it's a beautiful ride
   F#                 B
As long as we're living
       C#m           G#m
It's a beautiful ride
        F#                   E
I don't mind if you're willing
              F#
Cause you and I
 G#m          F#      E
Circle in the same sky
         F#     G#m F#        E
You and I could fly side by side
                  B
On this beautiful ride

Verse 2:
B                      C#m
 We're living with the tapestry
E              F#                 B
 The energy of everything we've done
                C#m
A little bit of you in me
E                F#            G#m
 A little bit of hope in everyone

              G#m      C#m
I'm happy to make it right
             C#m        D#m
I'm happy to stay all night

I'm happy to let this go

Until you come around

As long as we're living
