VERSE 1
G            D|F#                  Em7   D|F#
  I took my love and I took it down
G                 D|F#              Em7    D|F#
  I climbed a mountain and I turned around
      G        D|F#            Em7          D|F#
And I saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills
          G         D|F#          Em7    D|F#
Well, the landslide brought me down


VERSE 2
    G             D|F#         Em7    D|F#
Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love
        G               D|F#      Em7    D|F#
Can the child within my heart rise above
      G                D|F#     Em7   D|F#
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides
      G          D|F#    Em7   D|F#
Can I handle the seasons of my life


BREAK
     G   D|F#   Em7    D|F#

CHORUS
      D         Asus4         Bm7
Well, I've been afraid of changin'
              G      D|F#       Em7   Asus4
Cause I've built my life around you
      D            Asus4   Bm7
But time makes you bolder, children get older
    G           D|F#   Em7   
And I'm getting older  too,        well
