[Chorus]
Am Em
-- Obstacles they come and go
G D
-- That's the name of this game you know
Em C
-- This life's can't be bought nor sold
D B
Just play your cards and fold
[Verse 1]
Em C
Take two steps forward one step back
Bm Em
Every time I get on track the light fades to black
C B
When the curtain drops back I just step to my destiny
G Am
- See it right in front of me
Em C
It's in your eyes dance to the beat
Bm Em
And these sweat melodies, ridin' on the breeze
C Bm
The trees part of me
G A
But these sharks still circle in the park
[Pre-Chorus]
G
I look to you, it's in my nature since a youth
Bm C
When I ran after you the lights went blue
Em Bm
-- Me and you -- you and me
C E
I share my heart with you, you're my family
[Chorus]
Am Em
-- Obstacles they come and go
G D
-- That's the name of this game you know
Em C
-- This life can't be bought nor sold
D
Just play your cards then fold
Am Em
-- Can't give back the time you stole
G D
-- The path unravels the day unfolds
Em C
-- This death can't be bought nor sold
D B
Just play your cards then...
[Verse 2]
Em C
Once upon a time I ran to you
Bm Em
Banned myself to find your wealth
C
Return to the land of truth
Bm G A
Found myself all alone as the stars they kiss
Em C
Still runnin' after you through this wilderness
Bm Em C
-- At dawn I track snow through back yards and front lawns
Bm
I'm up late wide awake
G A
I'm reborn as day breaks and gets on...
[Pre-Chorus]
...To you
G
It's in my nature since a youth
Bm C
When I ran after you and lights went blue
Em Bm
-- Me and you -- you and me
C
I share my heart with you, you're my family
[Chorus]
Am Em
-- Obstacles they come and go
G D
-- That's the name of this game you know
Em C
-- This life can't be bought nor sold
D
Just play your cards then fold
Am Em
-- Can't give back the time you stole
G D
-- The path unravels the day unfolds
Em C
-- This life can't be bought nor sold
D
Just play your cards then fold
[Bridge]
Em C D Em
Sifting through the sand
Em C D Em
A man is just a man
Em C
No matter how you fan the flame
D Em
It - all comes out the same
Em C D
In the end - you are my friend
Em C D Em
Sifting through the sand
Em C D Em
A man is just a man
Em C
No matter how you fan the flame

It - all comes out the same

In the end -oh- you are my friend
