Chords

C
If we can cross at the place that divides us.

Cross the river, the river so wide, If we can smother the pain that's inside us,

                                 G
Deny the demons that wait by our side,

       F              C
We can find, find the light

C
Our nights are filled with the light of the same moon,

We share the comfort of the same stars. Our days are bright with the light of the same sun,

                                         G
That don't matter, can't you see what we are,

        F              C
What we are, what we become?

F/C                   G/C
Keep our sights on the way ahead,

F/D                       G/D
Don't look back, it won't help us now.

C/E              Em          F
  The storm we left so far behind

             C/G                   G/A
Seems a dark memory that starts to fade,

            F/D                          C
But till we see the light we will not be safe.

C
We all sink or swim in the same ocean,

Break our skin and we will bleed Our minutes pass with the same motion,

                                           G
We face the same danger, we share the same needs,

              F             C
We're all the same, you and me.

F/C                   G/C  
Keep our sights on the way ahead,

F/D                       G/D
Don't look back, that won't help us now.

C/E              Em             F
  Upstream, the river gets too wide

           C/G                     G/A
So we must build that bridge right here,

            F/D                              C
Cause if we wait we will not reach the other side.

Solo: C G F/G C

F                         G
See under that clear blue sky

             Am                          G
The winds of change are blowing hard and long,

            F                           G               C
And they'll not stop to rest 'cause the change is gonna come

[Percussion only until G]

C
Our nights are filled with the light of the same moon,

We share the comfort of the same stars. Our days are bright with the light of the same sun,

                                         G
That don't matter, can't you see what we are,

        F              C
What we are, what we become?

F/C                   G/C     
Keep our sights on the way ahead,

F/D                       G/D
Don't look back, it won't help us now.

C/E                   Em             F
  Cause upstream the river gets too wide

                C/G                                 G/A
And if we don't build that bridge right here, right now,

               F/D                        C
You know we'll never ever reach the other side.

Solo: C
