And the fishermen came back across the water
D
And the people started running in the park
G A
And the city stopped, as I held you in my arms
D A
We could hear the sound of sirens all around us
D A
And the scent of burning oil was in the air
G
And the music played
D/F# Asus4 A
And it felt so good to hear
[CHORUS]
D/F# G Asus4 A
This is the life we've been given
D/F# G Asus4 A
So open your mind and start living
G D/F# Asus4 A
We can play a part if we only start believing
[VERSE 2]

There's a stranger on the hill and he is speaking
D G A
As the tear from every cloud begin to fall

For one moment then, we understood it all
[BRIDGE]
G A Bm
Everyone, everyone, can you hear the soldiers coming
G A Bm
Everyone, everyone, every man and every woman
G A D A/C#
We all fall, in the end we're just miracles of matter
G A
So come on, let me love you
[CHORUS]

[VERSE 3]
D G A
Then the crowd began to head for the horizon
D G A
A million people walking back to work
G D/F# Asus4 A
But you and me, we just lay down in the garden
G D/F# Asus4 A
Yeah you and me, we just lay down in the garden
[CHORUS]
D/F# G Asus4 A
This is the life we've been given
