G7/C C Cdim7(VIII) G9/C C C
When we're knocking at the door

[G7/C]About[C] [Cdim7]hate and d[G9/C]eath and [C]war?[C]

It's[G7sus4/D] not the[C/E] way[F] that [C/E]you say it
When [C]you do[G7sus4/D] those things to [C]me
It's[G7sus4/D] more th[C/E]e way[F] that you [C/E]mean it
C G7sus4/D C(nh)
When you tell me what will be
And [G7sus4/D] when you stop[F] and think [C/E]about it
[C]You won't[G7sus4/D] believe [C]it's true
Tha[G7sus4/D]t all t[C/E]he love[F] you've [C/E]been giving

Has all been meant for you
I'm [C6sus4] lookin[C5]g [G]for [G7] someone to change my li[C]fe[C6sus4] [C] [C6sus4] [C]
I'm looking [G7]for a miracle in my li[C]fe
And if [G7sus4/D]you coul[C/E]d s[F]ee[Fadd2]
What it's d[C/E]one [G7sus4/D] to me[C]
Lose the love I [G] knew
G7 G6 C C(nh)
And safely leave here through
Be[G7sus4/D]tween th[C/E]e si[F]lence of [C/E]the mountains
And t[C]he cras[G7sus4/D]hing of the [C]sea
Th[G7sus4/D]ere lies [C/E]a land [F] I on[C/E]ce lived in
And sh[C]e's wait[G7sus4/D]ing there for [C]me
Bu[G7sus4/D]t in th[C/E]e gray [F] of [C/E]the morning
[C]My mi[G7sus4/D]nd becomes con[C]fused
B[G7sus4/D]etween t[C/E]he dead [F] and the [C/E] sleeping
And [C]the road[G7sus4/D] that I must [C]choose
I'm[G7sus4/D] looking[C/E] fo[C]r [G7] someone to change my li[C]fe[C6sus4] [C] [C6sus4] [C]
I'm looking [G7]for a miracle in my li[C]fe
And if[G7sus4/D] you co[C/E]uld [F] see[Fadd2]
