Pathways of the Heart

PRIVATE

  G                      F#/D

Love is a river flowing free

      E-                         C

it carries you and it carries me

      G                                    F#/D

it keeps us afloat when the tides get rough

 E-                                        C

takes just a little and that's more than  enough

 G                                          D

to make the wind come up  and fill our empty sails

  E-                                C

set us back on course after all else fails

   G                                          D

love brings me back to you when we drift apart

E-                                                      C         D         G         F#/D   E-   C

it knows  the ins and outs  on the pathways of  the heart

Tossed up on the river bank my soul was parched and dry

watchin in the distance your love passing me by

'til your whirpool undertow

 is pulling me right back in  

caught up in your overflow

 i know it's sink or swim

the current's movin fast , riding these twists and turns

i'm gonna reach your lovn' arms, before this bridge is  burned

love brings me back to you, when we drift apart

it knows the ups and downs and all around

the pathways of the heart

Bridge

C                                         B-

I once tried to build a dam, to keep the river back

A-                                                G

but the pressure grew so strong, until the concrete cracked

C                                                 B-

then it pushed right on through, with a mighty force so great

  A-           B-                          C                       Dsus   D

‘til all my walls came down, and I was swept away

The river gets deeper, the river gets wider

the farther you go, the further you find her

down in the valley, carving through mountains

bathe in her waters, and drink from her fountains

love brings me back 2 u ,when we drift apart,

breaks down the barriers, and opens up our hearts

it knows the ups and downs, and all the ins and outs

and all the ways around and all about

the pathways of the heart

the pathways of the heart
