C                G                Dm                  
I'm blind-folded on this carriage ride that they call 
F
life.
               C                   G                   
Keep trying to make it through the next turn, knuckles 
Dm
white and holdin'
F
tight.
C         G   Dm
So here I go, takin' the curve,
      F                   C
but I know that I'm never alone.
           G                Dm           F
I think of you, and how you never let me go.
       C                      G                      
I feel connected (connected), protected (protected), 
Dm
it's like you're
                    F
standing right with me all the time.
    C                             G
You hear me (you hear me), you're near me (you're near 
me),
    Dm                       F
and everything else is gonna be alright.
       C                       G                       
'Cause nothing can break this, nothing can break this, 
Dm
nothing can break
     F
this tie.
C            G      Dm        F
Connected... oooooh connected inside.

It's not an accident, the time we spent apart.
But now we're so close, I can always find you right 
here in my heart.
You've given me somethin' I need, and I don't ever want
 it to end.
Because of you, I know I've found my strength again.

C                         G
Everytime that I breathe, I can feel the energy.
Dm                             F
Reachin' out, flowin' through, you to me and me to you.
C                            G
wake or dream,walk or stand, you are everywhere I am.
Dm                       F                      
Seperate souls, unified, touching at the speed of 
  C
light.
