A                                      G             | G     E | 
You with the past at your back and the future unsure   . . . .  
A                           D    A    G  
Asked for the chance to try love once more 
Dmaj7                          Amaj7                 F#m7 
Well aware of the consequences should the dream fall through 
Dmaj7                            D          A             E 
You threw down you last defenses wanting to try something new 
D          A             E 
Wanting to try something new

You found me in a sea of confusion drifting with the tide   . . . . 
A                       D    A     G 
Living on love that had long since died 
    Dmaj7                             Amaj7                   F#m7 
But every time that I touch you, baby . I feel a little more alive 
Dmaj7 
. And I'm reminded how much you've made me 
  D            A            E 
Believe in the love that survives 
                   D            A            E 
You know we must believe in the love that survives 

    Dmaj7 
Oh, lessons learned are like bridges burned 
    Amaj7                       F#m7 
You only need to cross them but once 
       Dmaj7                            E      A  
Is the knowledge gained worth the price of the pain? 
        D                A           E  
Are the spoils worth the cost of the hunt?

Borne on the first warms winds of feelings newly found  . . . . 
A                D     A    G 
Fly but remember don't look down 

Dmaj7 
Take as much as you think you ought to 
Amaj7                    F#m7 
Give just as much as you can 
Dmaj7 
Don't forget what your failures have taught you 
               D              A     E 
Or else you'll learn them all over again 
                       D              A     E 
Or else you'll have to learn them all over again 

    Dmaj7

(My chord charts are intended to show how, as a rhythm guitarist,  
I play songs. I don't claim they are the "right" way. They are not  
tabs, which notate precisely how a song was played on a recording.)
