go ahead, push your luck, find out how much love the world can hold,
REm7 FA SOL DO SOL
once upon a time i had control, and reigned my soul in tight.
DO(add SOL) FAmaj7
well the whole truth, it's like the story of a wave unfurled,
REm7
but i held the evil of the world,
FA SOL
so i stopped the tide, froze it up from inside,
DO(add SOL) FAmaj7
and it felt like a winter machine that you go through and then,
REm7
you catch your breath and winter starts again,
FA SOL DO SOL
and everyone else is spring bound.
DO(add SOL) FAmaj7
and when i chose to live, there was no joy, it's just a line i crossed
REm7
it wasn't worth the pain my death would have cost
FA SOL DO SOL
so i was not lost or found.
DO(add SOL) FAmaj7
and if i was to sleep, i knew my family had more truth to tell.
REm7
and so i traveled down a whispering well,
FA SOL DO SOL
to know myself through them.
DO(addG) FAmaj7
growing up, my mom had a room full of books, and hid away in there,
REm7
her father raging down a spiral stair,
FA SOL
till he found someone, most days his son,
DO(add SOL) FAmaj7
and sometimes i think my father, too, was a refugee,
REm7
i know they tried to keep their pain from me,
FA SOL DO SOL
they could not see what it was for.
DO(add SOL)
but now i'm sleeping fine,
FAmaj7
sometimes the truth is like a second chance,
REm7
i am the daughter of a great romance,
FA SOL DO SOL
and they are the children of the war.

DO(add SOL) FAmaj7
well the sun rose with so many colors, it nearly broke my heart,
REm7
it worked me over like a work of art,
FA SOL DO SOL
and i was a part of all that.
DO(add SOL) FAmaj7
so go ahead push your luck, say what it is you gotta say to me,
REm7
we will push on into that mystery,
FA SOL DO SOL
and it'll push right back, and there are worse things than that,
DO(add SOL) FAmaj7
cause for every price, and every penance that i could think of,
REm7
it's better to have fallen in love,
FA SOL DO SOL
than never to have fallen at all,
DO(add SOL) FAmaj7
cause when you live in a world, well it gets into who you thought you'd be,
REm7
and now i laugh at how the world changed me,
FA SOL DO(add SOL) MIm LAm SOL DO(add SOL) SOL DO(add SOL)
i think life chose me after all.
