This Life chords
Bruce Springsteen *

Capo I

D F#m G Gm

  D         F#m              G
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

  D                  F#m                G
A blackness then the light of a million stars,
       Gm              D
as you slip into in my car;
    A                   D     A
the evening sky strikes sparks

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

   D           F#m        G
At night at my telescope alone,
     Gm             D
this emptiness I've roamed;
A               D    A
searching for a home

    D              F#m               G
The stars, a brief string of shining charms,
                            Gm
rushing in right out of our arms;
                  D   A
into the drifting dark

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

     D                            G
This life, this life and then the next,
  F#m                    G
I finger the hem of your dress
               D   A
My universe at rest

   Bm                            F#m        
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

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

     D                            G
This life, this life and then the next,
  F#m                    G
I finger the hem of your dress
               D   A
My universe at rest
