Unfinished Life Lyrics

INTRO: Am
F C ~
It's an unfinished life that I find lies before me
An open-ended dream and I don't want to wake
Am F C ~
I've crossed so many rivers in search of crystal fountains
Em F C ~
I've found the truest paths always lead through mountains
I've seen water on the sky, and fire burning on the lake
CHORUS:
You said to me, 'I cannot make you happy,
~ Em F G
Like a wounded bird, you must find the strength to fly,
Am F C ~
Time can paint the treetops with colours of the rainbow,
But you cannot find the end, no matter how you try'
F C ~
It's a journey with my soul that I am taking
One that only goes from the cradle to the grave
F C ~
Going 'round in circles like painted dancing horses
Em F C ~
Up and down we ride on the wooden courses
And light from a lover's eyes is all that I can save
CHORUS:
You said to me, 'I cannot make you happy,
~ Em F G
Like a wounded bird, you must find the strength to fly,
Am F C ~
Time can paint the treetops with colours of the rainbow,
But you cannot find the end, no matter how you try'
INSTRUMENTAL: G-Am F C ~ Em F G Am F C ~ Em F C ~ G Em Am
F C ~
So I'll take the day and run out across the open fields
Where the grass grows high and the shadows fall
F C ~
Where my eyes can see all the colours in the air
Em F C ~
So quiet that the wind whistles in my hair
And takes the rising dust and carries it away
CHORUS:
You said to me, 'I cannot make you happy,
~ Em F G
Like a wounded bird, you must find the strength to fly,
Am F C ~
Time can paint the treetops with colours of the rainbow,
But you cannot find the end, no matter how you try'
