         D
And the fishermen came back across the water
And the people started running in the park
                                         A
And the city stopped as I held you in my arms

We could hear the sound of sirens all around us
And the scent of burning oil was in the air
And the music played and it felt so good to hear

Chorus:
D/F#         G               Asus4  A
This is the life we've been given
    D/F#      G              Asus4  A
So open your mind and start living
         G              D/F#           Asus4  A
We can play a part if we only start believing

              D            G               A
There's a stranger on the hill and he is speaking
         D               G             A
As the tear from every cloud begin to fall
         G             D/F#           A
For one moment then, we understood it all

     G         A            Bm
Everyone, everyone, can you hear the soldiers coming
     G         A          Bm            F#m
Everyone, everyone, every man and every woman
        G           A              D           A/C#
We all fall, in the end we're just miracles of matter
        G          A
So come on, let me love you

Chorus:
This is the life we've been given
So open your mind and start living
We can play our part if we only start believing
This is the life we've been given
So open your heart and start loving
We can make a start if we only learn to listen, yeah

Then the crowd began to head for the horizon
A million people walking back to work
But you and me, we just lay down in the garden
Yeah you and me, we just lay down in the garden

Chorus:
This is the life we've been given
So open your mind to start living
We can play our part if we only start believing
This is the life we've been given
So open your heart and start loving
We can make a start if we only learn to listen, yeah

You and me, we just lay down in the garden
Yeah, the garden
