VERSE 1

4     5   -4  4  -4 5     4   5   -4   4   -4
They say it's a riv-er, that cir-cles the Earth

 4  5   -4  4   -4   4    4   
A beam of light shin-in' to 

 4   4   4  4   4  4  4
the edge of the un-i-verse

 4  4    5    4
It con-quers all

 4   4   5   4  -4   4
It chan-ges ev-ery-thing
 
4     5   -4  4   -4   5
They say it's a bless-ing 

4     5   -4  4 -4
They say it's a gift 

4      5 -4   4 -4  4  4    4 4  4   4     4  4  4
They say it's a mi-ra-cle and I be-lieve that it is

 4   4    5   4
It con-quers all

4     4  5   4  -4 4 
But it's a mys-ter-y
 
6     -6b     5   -4
Love breaks your heart

Love takes no less than ev-ery-thing

 4     -6b  4 -4
Love makes it hard 

-4   5   4   5 -4
And it fades a-way

 4   4 5 -4
So eas-i-ly 


VERSE 2

In this world we've created 
In this place that we live 
In the blink of an eye babe, the darkness slips in 
Love lights the world 
Unites the lovers for eternity 
Love breaks the chains 
Love aches for every one of us 
Love takes the tears and the pain 
And it turns it into the beauty that remains 

4    6    4    4
Look at this place 

5  -5b  4  6   6
It was par-a-dise

 4   4   6   -4  4
But now it's dy-ing

 -5b  4    4   4
I'll pray for love
 
-5b    4    4  -4   6    -6b 6    6   6   -6b
I'll take, my chan-ces that it's not too late 

4      -6b   4    -4
Love breaks the chains 

4     -6b   4   -4  4  5  -4  -4
Love aches for eve-ry one of us 

4     -6b    4   -4    4   4   5
Love takes the tears and the pain 

-4   5   4    5 -4 4  -4   4   5   -4  4   -4
And it turns it in-to the beau-ty that re-mains
