Corrinne May
Beautiful Life (from the album Crooked Lines; I bought her CD ^^)

Standard tuning
(If you want easier chords, 
Capo 1st fret and F#, Ab, Bbm and C# become F, G, Am and C respectively)

Verse 1:
          F# (244322@1)        AbIt's (xx1114@1)in living every moment
     Bbm (x13321@1)            C#Like (x43121@1)it could be our last
         F# (244322@1)        AbFor (xx1114@1)our hearts are restless
           Bbm (x13321@1)           C#Till (x43121@1)they rest in love's caress

And the moments we remember
They interweave our hearts
Like a tapestry surrounding us
That we forget to touch

Bridge:
             F# (244322@1)          AbIt's (xx1114@1)why we wake up every morning
             Bbm (x13321@1)             C#It's (x43121@1)why we seek each other's smile
             F# (244322@1)               AbIt's (xx1114@1)why we know that it's all worth it
             Bbm (x13321@1)               C#(hold)
It's why we hold on, we make the sacrifice

Chorus 1:
             F# (244322@1)      AbIt's (xx1114@1)in the eyes of a child
       Bbm (x13321@1)            C#As (x43121@1)you hold her in your arms
          F# (244322@1)           Ab (xx1114@1)      Bbm (x13321@1)   C#And (x43121@1)your heart starts to beat once again
          F# (244322@1)       AbAnd (xx1114@1)your world is reborn
        Bbm (x13321@1)           C#In (x43121@1)the freshness of her song
F#(hold)       Ab(hold)
Smile, it's a beautiful life

F# Ab Bbm C# (x2)

Verse 2 (repeat the chord pattern):
It's in the hope of the poor man
As he struggles to make ends meet
It's in the laughter of his children
As they play in the street

Don't need a million dollars
To raise a happy child
You just need a pair of loving arms
And thhe time to make her smile

Bridge

Chorus 2:
             F# (244322@1)       AbIt's (xx1114@1)in the tears of a friend
        Bbm (x13321@1)         C#As (x43121@1)you finally make amends
          F# (244322@1)           Ab (xx1114@1)         Bbm (x13321@1) C#And (x43121@1)your soul starts to breathe once again
          F# (244322@1)         AbAnd (xx1114@1)the weight of the world
       Bbm (x13321@1)         C#Falls (x43121@1)away with one word
F#(hold)        Ab(hold)
Smile, it's a beautiful life

F# Ab Bbm C# (x2)

F# (244322@1)  AbOh (xx1114@1)woah Oh...
Bbm (x13321@1)  C#Oh (x43121@1)woah oh...
F#     G#(strum twice and hold)
Oh woah

Chorus 3:
             F# (244322@1)        AbIt's (xx1114@1)in the touch of her lips
        Bbm (x13321@1)         C#As (x43121@1)she leans in for a kiss
          F# (244322@1)            Ab (xx1114@1)        Bbm (x13321@1) C#And (x43121@1)your world starts to spin once again
         F# (244322@1)         AbAnd (xx1114@1)two hearts become one
      Bbm (x13321@1)    C#As (x43121@1)a dream is begun
F#(hold)        Ab(hold)
Smile, it's a beautiful life
