EDb/C#m You need not to climb mountaintops BA You need not to cross the sea EDb/C#m You need not to find a cure BA for everything that makes you weak EDb/C#m You need not to reach for the stars BA when life becomes so dark EDb/C#m And when the wind does blow against the grain BA You must follow your heart BE You must follow your heart
EDb/C#m When all your friends have come and gone BA And the sun no longer shines EDb/C#m And the happiness for which you long BA is washed away like an ocean's tide EDb/C#m When all the hard times outweigh the good BA And all your words are misunderstood EDb/C#m When the day seems lost from the stars BA You must follow your heart BE You must follow your heart
EDb/C#m If you feel you've paid the price BA And your wounds should cease to heal EDb/C#m And everything you love in life BA spins like a winding wheel EDb/C#m If you should wake to find you're abandoned BA And the road you've traveled leads to a dead-end EDb/C#m When death creeps in to play it's part BA You must follow your heart BE You must follow your heart
