Intro: C - F/A - G/B - E7/G# - Am - G - F - G7sus - G7

 C                F/A              G/B-E7/G#   Am-/G -D7/F#    -/D  G -/F
1. Who would have known this would be   a history      so torn with wars?

       C/E        Dm    Dm7/C   Gsus4-G        Dm    Dm7/C  Gsus4-G
   The sky seems grayer than our hearts. It's grayer in our hearts.


  C              F/A             G/B-E7/G# Am -/G        D7/F#    -/D     G  -/F
2. I could have sworn this would end in misery.  But the world is turning still,

             C/E  -/C       F                C/E
   But we're also learning, somewhere hidden out there,

                 Dm7            Gsus4 - G
   Something's greater than our hearts.


    C              G/B                 Am     Am/G
REF: The storms of life may shake our ground

                F           G7/F         Em - Dm - G
     A greater peace still dwells in our hearts.

    C              G/B             Am -/G          F         G7/F          Em
     The dreams we build may fall apart; a deeper hope still runs in our hearts.

    Am    Am/G-F           G/F        E  E7/G#   Am  -/G   Dm-Dm7/C     Gsus4
     Fear no harm, we are ruled by a far greater love,   a far   greater love.


Interlude 1: G - C - F/A - G/B - E7/G# - Am - G - F - G7sus - G7


  C                F/A             G/B-E7/G#          Am -/G
3. Who would have known life would be    such a mystery?

           D7/F#     -/D       G  -/F        C/E         -/C
   For the world is yearning still, and our hearts keep burning.

       F       C/E                        Dm7            Gsus4-G
   We dare to believe there's something greater than our hearts. (REF except...)


     Am    Am/G-F           G/F        E  E7/G#   Am-/G
CODA: Fear no harm, we are ruled by a far greater love,

            Dm  -/C G/B  -/G   Em           Am
      We're never  alone. All else may go wrong.

      Am7/G           FM7    G7       Gsus4            Ab (C)
      Still will there be a love far greater than our hearts.


Interlude2: (with "Aah...") Eb/G - Ebm/Gb - Db/F - A - E/G# - F#m7 - B7sus4 -

            Gsus4 - G (Repeat REF and CODA)
