This Life

Springsteen Bruce

D F#m G Gm

   D         F#m              G
1. A bang then stardust in your eyes,
   Gm                  D
   a billion years for just this night;
   A                D    A
   in a way it will be alright
   
   A blackness then the light of a million stars,
   as you slip into in my car;
   the evening sky strikes sparks

   D                            G
R: This life, this life and then the next,
   F#m             G
   with you I have been blessed
   D   A
   What more can you expect?

2. At night at my telescope alone,
   this emptiness I've roamed;
   searching for a home
   
   The stars, a brief string of shining charms,
   rushing in right out of our arms;
   into the drifting dark

R: This life, this life and then the next...

R1: This life, this life and then the next,
    I finger the hem of your dress
    My universe at rest

   Bm                            F#m
3. We reach for starlight all night long,
   G
   but gravity is too strong;
   D
   chained to this earth we go on and on and on and on and on
   
   Bm                      D
   Then a million sighs cresting were you stood,
   Bm
   a beauty in the neighborhood;
   G                      D   A
   this lonely planet never looked so good

R: This life, this life and then the next...

R1: This life, this life and then the next...
