Am G   Am Em   Am G Fmaj7 G 
Am G   Am Em   Am G Fmaj7 G 


Verse: 
  Am            G             Am        Em 
I met a sad old gypsy on the road to Berlin 
     Am              G            Fmaj7         G 
By chance I got to spend a little time with him 
 Am                 G             Am         Em 
Shared a few life stories on that dusty old train 
       Am               Em 
So I thought I'd take a minute 
         Fmaj7       G        Am   
Just to share them again with you 

Am G   Am Em   Am G Fmaj7 G 
Am G   Am Em   Am G Fmaj7 G 


Verse: 
    Am                 G                   Am        Em 
He talked of all the twists and turns he'd taken in life 
    Am               G            Fmaj7         G 
And how his spirit clung to God to do what was right 
 Am               G                 Am          Em            
Sure he got the prize but he never counted the cost 
 Am                   Em 
Felt his pain as he shared with me  
Fmaj7         G       Am 
     All that he had lost 

Am G   Am Em   Am G Fmaj7 G 


Verse: 
   Am              G            Am           Em 
If you could only see what was there in his eyes 
    Am          G            Fmaj7          G 
An eternity of wandering in search of the prize 
     Am               G              Am         Em 
He'd had it all, the money, all the fame and romance 
Am             G          C    G           Am 
Now he shed a tear as he faced   the last dance 


BREAK: 
      Dm 
The blessing comes but once he said 
          C 
But it's not for you, it must be shared 
    Bb 
And if you keep it to yourself 
       C 
You'll be no use to anyone else 
    Dm 
And he who gives will take away 
     C 
And you will face the same dark day 
     Bb 
That even now is all my pain 
C                      E      Am 
 I'll never have this dance again 


BREAK 2: 
  C       G           Dm                C 
Chances, dances, how quickly this life passes 
Am                 F 
All our hopes and all our dreams 
     E 
Get lost in all our selfish schemes 
               C                   G 
You see, it's not about you, it's not about me 
       Dm                   C 
It's about loving something we can't see 
     Am                     F 
It's all about what we are willing to share 
       E                              F 
It's about our hearts and who lives there
