A 
This life has taken me so far  
		        D 
and so many roads I?ve had to choose 
	      A 
Some win some lose  
 
This life has been a gamble 
		        D	 
I?ve held my cards close to my heart 
	A 
I?ve played the part 
Bm                      A	           G 
Somehow the mists of time have washed all over me 
Bm	                         A	    E		 
The comfort of your arms is where I need to be 
 
	        A 
Cause when you?re lyin in the arms of the one you love 
            F#m				 
And you got your faith in god above 
D		                E	 
And you feel like you?re riding on the wind 
	  A 
When you?re lying in the arms of the one you love 
               F#m					 
And you know it?s good from the stars above 
D	E	F#m 
Oooh that?s love

A 
I get so tired of dreaming 
		     D 
Where is the fire that burned inside 
	A 
With all its pride 
 
The flame became a candle so fragile 
	       D 
With the autumn wind 
	 A 
The need to win 
 
Bm                   A                           G 
Somehow the sands of time weigh heavy over me 
Bm	                 A	         E	 
Wrapped in your lovin arms is where I?d rather be 
 
	        A 
Cause when you?re lyin in the arms of the one you love 
            F#m				 
And you got your faith in god above 
D		                E	 
And you feel like you?re riding on the wind 
	  A 
When you?re lying in the arms of the one you love 
               F#m					 
And you know it?s good from the stars above 
D	E	F#m 
Oooh that?s love
