Steve Winwood
Jan 2011
When you're cCmaught, the other sGmide
Take a lCmook and maybe sGmtart
To F#mtake uFmp your life aCmgainAb  Bb  
Crossing the lCmine
Through the gCmate, what words to Bbsay
Demon taCmkes your breath Gmaway
HeaF#mr your Fmheart, don't be CmafraidAb  Bb  
Passing througCmh time
AbSpinning around the aEbxis of a Dmdream
PossibC#ilities aren't always what they sCmeemE  
AbReject them and all your EbchoicGes will be fAbreeBb  
Crossing the lCmine
(Guitar solo)
Turn upoCmn the winding sGmtair
Past the Cmdoor that isn'Gmt there
You F#mhave Fmcome you know not CmwhereAb  Bb  
Passing through Cmtime
Walk alCmong the narrow roaBbd
Where thCme ghost gives uGmp his mind
You F#mcan cFmatch the thread oCmf timeAb  Bb  
Crossing the Cmline
AbSpinning around the aEbxis of a Dmdream
PossibC#ilities aren't always what they sCmeemE  
AbReject them and all your EbchoicGes will be fAbreeBb  
Crossing the lCmine
