(intro) Dm7 Am7 Bb7+ Dm7 Am/D C9 C Bb7+ Bb/C
F Dm7
I have walked on the high wire
Gm7 F F4 F
With no net to catch me
Dm7 Gm7
I have stood in the spotlight
Bb7+ C
Where each flaw could be seen
Bb7+ C C/E
And I've anteed my faith
F F/A Bb
To the mercy of strangers
Gm7 Eb7+
'Cause when you ride on the big ride
Bb7+ C4 C
You don't ride for free
[Refrão]
F Am7 Bb7+
If we're only brief candles
C C/E F
Let's burn for a day
Bb F/A
If we're only poor players
Dm Bb7+ C
Let's rush to the stage
Dm7 Bb7+
And if we don't know the ending
C A/C# A
Let's begin anyway

It starts in your heart
Bb C F
An expression of faith
Bb7+ Gm7
It starts in your heart
Bb C F Am7 Bb7+ Dm7 Am/D C9 C Bb7+ Bb/C
An expression of faith
F Dm7
Though the north wind is freezing
Gm7 F F4
And the thunderclouds gather
Dm7 Gm7
Still we scatter the new seed
Bb7+ C
And we trust in the sun
Bb7+ C C/E
Though this world is uncertain
F F/A Bb
We deliver our children
Gm7 Eb7+
To life's great adventure
Bb7+ C4 C
And the promise of love
Bb
Some call it wisdom
F
And some call it pain
Gm7
To find out the truth
F C/E
To discover it's name
Dm7
But when all that we know
G
Doesn't change anything
Gm7

Are all that remain
