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
D G F#m G D A 4x
