Intro:
F  Am  Em  F
C  G  C


Verse 1:
C               G            C
Believe in that our love was over
                  G        C
We climbed to the attic to fight
  F                    C
A few of my favorite positions
   D                       G
So they wouldn't be left behind
    C          G            C
But there in a dust covered jew box
  F                    E7
A bundle of old letter lie
F               C
Wrapped in that old faded ribbon
F      C                  G       C
Like a message across the great divide

Verse 2:
C                  G          C
Those letters from grandpa to grandma
                  G                C
Have written with love through the years
     F                          C
Read just like the words from a love song
      D                     G

As we read them together in tears
C             G           C
Last one said I've always loved you
    F                      E7
And don't ever feel sad or cry
      F                 C
Cause if I cross over before you
F       C                  G       C
I'll be waiting across the great divide


Bridge:
F Am Em         F            C   G  C
Oh,  love has a life of it's own
   F     Am    Em         F            G
To love, love, love has a life of it's own


Verse 3:
   C            G              C
We knew when we finished those letters
   F                      E7
No one will be saying goodbye
    F                      C
The sinners forgived up forever
     F     C                   G       C
When those letters crossed the great divide


Outro:
F Am Em         F            C   G  C
Oh,  love has a life of it's own
F     Am    Em        F               C
Love, love, love is a life like those letters
           G       C
Across the great divide
