Am  F  G   Am   G   F
Am  F  G   Am   G   F


   [Chorus]
         Am                        G
I cannot bathe you in a river gone black
         Em                   F   G
I cannot hold you in a poison rain
           Am                  Dm          G
If I can't see you through the air that we breathe
          C           F      G
What will love in the future be?


   [Verse 1]
        Am                              G
I wanna watch my children laugh as they run
        Em                        F    G
I wanna hold their children on my knee
              Am           Dm         G
And tell them stories of a vanishing sun
   C      Dm      G
Of how it used to be

   
   [Verse 2]
      Am                     G
In my lover's life I want to share
          Em                F           G
I want to see the world now through her eyes
          Am             Dm      G
And about everything she sees, I care
    C        Dm      G
The time has come to rise


   [Chorus]
         Am                        G
I cannot bathe you in a river gone black
         Em                   F   G
I cannot hold you in a poison rain
           Am                  Dm          G
If I can't see you through the air that we breathe
          C           F      G
What will love in the future be?
        C         Dm        G
Will we make it a different story?
         C           F          G       Fmaj9
Is there love in the future for you and me?


    [Bridge]
Fmaj9                        C
We're looking for answers in outer space
Fmaj9                     G          C      F
When will we discover the earth is a sacred place?

Fmaj9    Am                        G
I cannot bathe you in a river gone black
         Em                   F   G
I cannot hold you in a poison rain
           Am                  Dm          G
If I can't see you through the air that we breathe
          C           F      G
What will love in the future be?
        C         Dm         G
Will we make it a different story?
         C           F          G       Am
Is there love in the future for you and me?

I cannot hold you in a poison rain
           Am                  Dm          G
If I can't see you through the air that we breathe
          C           F      G
What will love in the future be?
        C         Dm         G
Will we make it a different story?
         C           F          G       Am
Is there love in the future for you and me?
