Some of the altered chords like the 9s and 11s can be simplified.***


1:13
Em  C/E  Am/E  Bsus4/E

Em
There was no time for pain, no energy for anger.
C/E
Sightlessness as hatred slips away.
Am/E
Walking through into streets alone, he stops and takes a breath
Em
With confidence and self-control.

Em
I look at the world and see no understanding.
C/E
I'm waiting to find some sense of strength.
Am/E                                                     Bsus4/E
I'm begging you from the bottom of my heart to show me understanding.

Em
I need to live life like some people never will
           C/E
So find me kindness, find me beauty, find me truth.
         Am/E
When temptation brings me to my knees and I lay here drained of strength
        Bsus4/E
Show me kindness, show me beauty, show me truth.

             Am7                        Bm7
The way your heart sounds makes all the difference.
            Em7
It's what decides if you'll endure the pain that we all feel.
             Am7                       Bm7                       Em7
The way your heart beats makes all the difference in learning to live.
Am7                  Bm7                   Em7
Here before me is my soul. I'm learning to live.
             Am7                     Bm7                     Bsus4/E (3:10)
I won't give up till I've no more to give, no more to give.

      Em
Whoa, listening to the city, whispering its violence,
C/E
I set out watching from above.
Am(9)/E
The nineties bring new questions, new solutions to be found.
Bsus4/E
I fell in love to be let down.

Em7
Once again we dance in the crowd at times a step away
       C/E
From a common fear that's all spread out, won't listen to what you say.
Am(9)/E
Once you're touched you stand alone to face the bitter fight.
Bsus4/E
Once I reached for love, but now I reach for life.

Another chance to lift my life. I'll free the sensation in my heart.
                        E
To ride the wings of dreams into changing horizons.
F#                                B                                         D
It brings inner peace within my mind as I'm lifted from where I've split my life.
                     E                                 F#
I hear an innocent voice. I hear kindness, beauty, and truth.
