Intro: B

B                                    E
For all I've been blessed with in my life
Gb                        B
There was an emptiness in me
                        E
I was imprisoned by the power of gold
Gb                             B
With one kind touch you set me free


B       E          Gb
Let the world stop turning
        B        E
Let the Sun stop burning
                                        Gb      Gb7
Let them tell me love's not worth going through
      E          Gb
If it all falls apart
       B               E
I will know deep in my heart
                                      Gb  Gb7
The only dream that mattered had come true
        E          Gb7 Gb    B
In this life I was loved by you

Every raging river crossed
                             E
You were the treasure that I longed to find
Gb                           B
Without your love I would be lost

The only dream that mattered had come true

How to play In This Life on ukulele

You are playing it in B major. The fretting hand earns its keep in this one: I have the chords at the proficient level. Want friendlier shapes? Drop it 2 half-steps, then a capo on fret 2 restores the key you see here.
