Chords

[Intro] G [Verse 1] They say that when you get there
                           C
That's when the real magic starts

               G
Go through the plains of desire

                      C
Past the waterfall of sparks

    Em
Ten thousand burning deserts

G                            Am
Will weed the taker from the giver

         C
But it's less about arriving

D                           C       G
Than the journey to miracle river
[Verse 2] Some live for the sparkle of the water
                            C
That will heal their aching souls

              G
Turn back the restless hands of time

                              C
And make their broken spirits whole

    Em
But sometimes promises of love are sweeter

G                       Am
Than the visions they deliver

             C
So bless the good with the bad

D                         C       G
On the journey to miracle river
[Chorus]
            Em            B7
When you're finally free, you will see

    Em          D            Em
The diamond's a child of the mind

           G                        B7
Not just a prize you saved from the jaws of fate

       Em
It was in your heart all the time

         C                       B7
When you finally reach your destination

Em
Fall down on your knees and thank your maker

            C
For all the crosses and the blessings

D                         C
On the journey to miracle river
[Verse 3]
      G
Every heartbeat is a piece in the puzzle

                  C
We're all here to solve

                   G
You can face it or just turn away

                              C
But either way one day you'll see it all

    Em
Oh, winding in the distance

G                      Am
Like shimmering molten silver

        C
It will wash away the shadows

D                          C       G
Of your journey to miracle river
[Chorus]
            Em            B7
When you're finally free, you will see

    Em          D            Em
The diamond's a child of the mind

           G                        B7
Not just a prize you saved from the jaws of fate

       Em
It was in your heart all the time

         C                       B7
When you finally reach your destination

Em
Fall down on your knees and thank your maker

            C
For all the crosses and the blessings

D                         C
On the journey to miracle river

            C
For all the loves and the losses

D                         C
On the journey to miracle river
