 ice.

Song Pattern:
E|-------------| 

[Part A]
  There is not a river wide

[Part B]
  Not a mountain high

[PART A] (play 4 times)
  And neither sin nor evil
  Could change how I feel inside
  Could change how I feel inside
  Not all the strength of the ocean

[PART B]
  Not all the heat from the sun, from the sun

[PART C]
  No others have tried, I just can't deny

[PART A] (play twice)
  For me you are the one
  For me you are the one

[PART D] (play twice)
  But true love is priceless
  For true love we pay a price

[PART E]
  But there's nothing can keep me from loving you
  not fire, no not ice
  not fire, no not ice

[PART A]
  Like a hero or the champion

[PART B]
  You are the best, you're the best

[PART A] (play four times)
  Like religion or superstition
  With you I am blessed
  With you I am blessed
  Now the river may grow wider

[PART B]
  The mountains may reach past the sky

[PART C]
  And wether or not you feel same

[PART A] (play twice)
  My love shall never die
  My love shall never die

[PART D] (play twice)
  But true love is give and take
  True love is sacrifice

[PART E]
But there's nothing can keep me from loving you
Not fire no not ice
Not fire no not ice
