The New Life

     Em
I've burned my bridges and I'm free at last
Em
All my chains are in the past
    C        Am     Em
The new life starts here


[Verse 2]
    Em
The day is wide open, the sky is blue
    Em
The world is a miracle and so are you
    C        Am     Em
The new life starts here


[Verse 3]
   Em
My papers arrived stamped and complete
    Em
All previous despatches are obsolete
    C        Am     Em
The new life starts here


[Chorus]
Em D   C   Bm Am  Bm Em
I  can see my way so clear
  Em    D   C   Am  C    Bm       Em D C Bm
Rejoice for the new life starts here


[Verse 4]
          Em
There's a war in the Gulf but it ain't in my head
Em
I just declared a state of peace instead
    C        Am     Em
The new life starts here


[Verse 5]
Em
Tempters and tricksters banging at my door
Em
I'm not fighting with them anymore
    C        Am     Em
The new life starts here


[Verse 6]
Em
Generals, presidents, how do you do?
Em
I can make it with or without you
    C        Am     Em
The new life starts here


[Chorus]
Em D   C   Bm Am  Bm Em
I  can see my way so clear
  Em    D   C   Am  C    Bm       Em D C Bm
Rejoice for the new life starts here


[Verse 7]
        Em
Are you under the mercy? Are you under attack?
Em
Are you going forward? Are you going back?
    C        Am     Em
The new life starts here


[Verse 8]
        Em
Are you coming to grips? Are you coming apart?
        Em
Are you listening to fear or to your heart?
    C        Am     Em
The new life starts here


[Verse 9]
   Em
Citizen, criminal, child, woman and man
    Em
The keys to the kingdom are in your own hands
    C        Am     Em
The new life starts here


[Verse 10]
Em
Mock the devil, make him sweat
Em
  He hasn't won the battle yet
    C        Am     Em
The new life starts here


[Chorus]
  Em    D   C   Bm Am    Bm   Em
A whole new age in seven more years
  Em    D   C   Am  C    Bm       Em D C Bm
Rejoice for the new life starts here
