Intro:

D - G - A - D   



Verse 1:

D ------------------------------
Now you're back in my arms again

----------------- G --------
let your heart be rearranged

----------------------------------------- A -----
while you were sleeping the reaper's been reaping

-------------- D -----
the times have changed



Verse 2:

D ----------------
Speak softly to me 

------------------------ G ------
you have more power than the bomb

------------------------------------------ A ----
the tears in your eyes are just medals and prizes

---------- D --
the war is over

G -------------------------------- A ---------- Bbdim7
Miracles will come and go watch it all work out

--- D ----------- G
but don't give in



Chorus:

------------- D ---------------------------
If you should climb to the top of the world 

------- G -----------------
just to take it on the chin

--------------------------------- A -------------------
what would would it matter if the world were to shatter

--------- D ------------------
is it the world you believe in

D --------------------------------
You crawl to the ends of the earth

------ G -----------------
as the scenery's caving in

---------------------------- A --------------
on knees burnt by gravel the season's unravel

---- D ---------------
your reason for living



Verse 3:

D -----------------------------------
With flesh and blood and small change

--------------------------- G -
we start a little something new

---------------------------------------------- A ---
rather lead and be mistaken than following and fakin'

----------------------- D --
for the sake of seeming true

G -------------------------------- A --------- Bbdim7
all the stars and satellites shine down on you

--- D ----------------- G
but which will you heed



Chorus:

------------- D ---------------------------
If you should climb to the top of the world 

------- G -----------------
just to take it on the chin

--------------------------------- A -------------------
what would would it matter if the world were to shatter

--------- D ------------------
is it the world you believe in

D --------------------------------
You crawl to the ends of the earth

------ G -----------------
as the scenery's caving in

---------------------------- A --------------
on knees burnt by gravel the season's unravel

---- D ---------------
your reason for living



Chorus Finale:

----------- D -----------------------------
If I should drown in the light of your eyes

-------- G ---------------
well I'd rather die giving

------------------------------------ A -----------
walk the line with some grace say it wasn't a race 

------------ D ----------------
ain't that a reason for living?
