Intro: D A G Gmaj9 Dsus4
D A
Rise! Love is here
G
Oh don't make me wonder
Gmaj9 Dsus4
Life's never clear where choice is a gift
D
To use and abuse
A
To build on proof
G
Oh don't make me suffer
Gmaj9
Birds find the wind and wing
A
Oooh
G Gmaj9 Dsus4
Rest in the shells I've desinged
G Gmaj9 G
Run through the fields I've denied
C G A
And stroll upon the years I'm alive
D C Gmaj9 G
There's a sun that shines in
There's a world that stares out at me
C Em
And all I refuse to please
D A G Gmaj9 Dsus4
Breathe! Love is air
Oh don't make me suffer
To dash debonair where chaste is the wish
To bust with pain
A heart goes blank
Oh don't make me wonder
To ask on behalf of you
Dsus4
Of you, where are you?
A G
Where are you in you?
D C Gmaj9 G
There's a sun that shines in
There's a world that stares out at me
C G
And all I refuse to please
D C Gmaj9 G
There's a sun that shines in
D C
There's a world that stares out at me
Gmaj9
And all I refuse
G Gmaj9
And all I'd ever use in me
D C
Gmaj9 G
There's a sun that shines in me
Gmaj9 G
There's a sun that shines
Gmaj9 G D
There's a sun that shines in me
