Em      D    Bm               Em
Like a million little doorways
          D         Bm  Em
All the choices we made
          D        Bm
All the stages we passed through
         Em        D   Bm Em
All the roles we played

For so many different directions
Our separate paths might have turned
With every door that we opened
Every bridge that we burned

Chorus:
      D    Bm             Em
Somehow we find each other
              D        Bm   Em
Through all that masquerade
            D         Bm
Somehow we found each other
           Em         D Bm
Somehow we have stayed
                D  E F# D
In a state of grace
                    E
I don't believe in destiny
        F#                 D
Or the guiding hand of fate
                      E
I don't believe in forever
   F#                      D
Or love as a mystical state
                         E
I don't believe in the stars or the planets
   F#                        D
Or angels watching from above
                          E
But I believe there's a ghost of a chance
        F#
we can find someone to love
             D   E F#
And make it last...
             D   E F#
And make it last...

Like a million little crossroads
Through the back streets of youth
Each time we turn a new corner
A tiny moment of truth

F#m     E    C#m                 F#m
For so many different connections
              E               C#m F#m
Our separate paths might have made
            E           C#m
With every door that we opened
      F#m       E   C#m Em
Every game we played

Chorus:
Somehow we find each other
Through all that masquerade
Somehow we found each other
Somehow we have stayed
In a state of grace
I don't believe in destiny
Or the guiding hand of fate
I don't believe in forever
Or love as a mystical state
I don't believe in the stars or the planets
Or angels watching from above
But I believe there's a ghost of a chance
we can find someone to love
And make it last...

I believe there's a ghost of a chance
I believe there's a ghost of a chance
We can find someone to love
And make it last
I believe there's a ghost of a chance
And make it last
I believe there's a ghost of a chance
