G

[Verse 1]

They say that when you get there
                           C
That's when the real magic starts
               G
Go through the plains of desire
                      C
Past the waterfall of sparks
    Em
Ten thousand burning deserts
G                            Am
Will weed the taker from the giver
         C
But it's less about arriving
D                           C       G
Than the journey to miracle river


[Verse 2]

Some live for the sparkle of the water
                            C
That will heal their aching souls
              G
Turn back the restless hands of time
                              C
And make their broken spirits whole
    Em
But sometimes promises of love are sweeter
G                       Am
Than the visions they deliver
             C
So bless the good with the bad
D                         C       G
On the journey to miracle river


[Chorus]
            Em            B7
When you're finally free, you will see
    Em          D            Em
The diamond's a child of the mind
           G                        B7
Not just a prize you saved from the jaws of fate
       Em
It was in your heart all the time
         C                       B7
When you finally reach your destination
Em
Fall down on your knees and thank your maker
            C
For all the crosses and the blessings
D                         C
On the journey to miracle river


[Verse 3]
      G
Every heartbeat is a piece in the puzzle
                  C
We're all here to solve
                   G
You can face it or just turn away
                              C
But either way one day you'll see it all
    Em
Oh, winding in the distance
G                      Am
Like shimmering molten silver
        C
It will wash away the shadows
D                          C       G
Of your journey to miracle river


[Chorus]
            Em            B7
When you're finally free, you will see
    Em          D            Em
The diamond's a child of the mind
           G                        B7
Not just a prize you saved from the jaws of fate
       Em
It was in your heart all the time
         C                       B7
When you finally reach your destination
Em
Fall down on your knees and thank your maker
            C
For all the crosses and the blessings
D                         C
On the journey to miracle river
            C
For all the loves and the losses
D                         C
On the journey to miracle river
