Through The Years

Tom: D

       D          A7sus4          D
It's a miracle of nature, just to be alive tonight
A7sus4        C#dim7 
Awake in your arms, 
    Bm    C#dim7   D/A
The world and it's charms
E7   A     D/A    A7
Lit up by candle light
       D           A7sus4          D
It's a miracle of feeling, to love despite the fear
   A7sus4       C#dim7 
So please don't forget
Bm   C#dim7  D/A
I've had no regrets
E7     A   D/A     A7
Since you found me here

G9
Through the years we've been happy
D/F#
Through the years we've been sad
 E7            Em7            A7
And some times feeling lucky was the only luck we had
       Em7               D/F#            G
But we always found some laughter in the tears
A7sus4   D   Am7   D
Through the years

       D            A7sus4             D
It's a never ending wonder, that other arms are cold
A7sus4     C#dim7 
When every night
    Bm    C#dim7   D/A
I'm warmed by the light
E7   A     D/A      A7
Of your spendthrift soul
             D         A7sus4          D
Shining like a beacon, lit up against the dark
 A7sus4       C#dim7 
What do people do
Bm        C#dim7     D/A
When they don't have you
E7    A   D/A     A7
Alive in their heart?
G9
Through the years we've been happy
D/F#
Through the years we've been sad
 E7            Em7            A7
And some times feeling lucky was the only luck we had
       Em7               D/F#            G
But we always found some laughter in the tears
A7sus4   D   Am7   D
Through the years

A7sus4        C#dim7
What do people do
Bm        C#dim7     D/A
When they don't have you
E7  A      D/A  A7
To lighten the tears?
A7sus4   D   Am7   D
