Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
When  you close your eyes there’s  a frightened pride  that  lives  for you
That  your mothers life  and your father’s  eyes  can’t hide.
 You had  no choice didn’t ask  the dice to fall  for you
Still  your courage comes  like thunder  through  the skies
 (Chorus 1)
 You’re always  the winner, the  victor and the giver
Somewhere  through  that winter,  you will not grow old
 (verse 2)
 So you carry  time down the tortured  line where mysteries show
 Well hidden from  lifes learned  and  life’s wise
 Man’s useless  ways and worthless  conversations
 Lie  well exposed  and humbled  in  your smile
 (Chorus 2)
 You’re always  the winner,  the  victor and the giver
 Somewhere  through that winter,  you’ll  never be alone
 For evermore  the winner,  the  taker and the giver
 Somewhere through that winter, you  will not  grow old.
 (Bridge)
 Still you  run out in the morning, with the boys  and girls
 A miracle  of innocence on a head  of curls
 We’ll search  every reason wherever  we roam
 To find  a place for these broken hearts  and bones
 We’ll  keep a fire on the hillside,  after the summer’s  gone
 And we’ll wait  her for the war-wounded  to come home.
 (Chorus 3)
 You’re always  the winner,  the  victor and the giver
 Somewhere through that winter,  you’ll  never be alone
 For  evermore the winner,  the  taker and the giver
 Somewhere through that winter,  you will  not grow old.
 (hope this comes out ok. Looks weird on the "tab preview" but ok on my screen. If
 comes out pants, email me and I'll send you a copy).
