kenny loggins – conviction of the heart
( chords are close approximation , refer to chord chart at the bottom for exact chord positions )
D5 G5 D5
where are the dreams that we once had
G5 Bm
this is the time to bring them back
Em
what were the promises
Bm Em Em11/F# G5
caught on the tips of our tongues?
A Bm A Dsus4 D G5 Gsus2 G5
do we forget or forgive there’s a whole other life waiting to be lived
A Em A Em Em11/F# G A
when one day we’re brave enough to talk with conviction of the heart .
( repeat twice see chord chart )
D/F# G5 Gm9/A A
and down your streets i’ve walked alone , as if my feet were not my own
such is the path i chose , doors i have opened and closed
i’m tired of living this life , fooling myself , believing we’re right ,
when i’ve never given love with any conviction of the heart
chorus
D Bm G Em A D
one with the earth , with the sky , one with everything in life
Bm G Em A ( open bar position )
i believe we’ll survive if we only try
G5
how long must we all wait to change
D/F# Em A
this world bound in chains that we live in
Em G
to know what it is to forgive ,
D/F# G5 Gsus2 G5
and be forgiven
( verse )
it’s been too many years of taking now . isn’t it time to stop somehow?
air that’s too angry to breathe , water our children can’t drink
you’ve heard it hundreds of times you say your aware , believe , and you care
but do you care enough where’s your conviction of the heart?
( chorus )
one with the earth , with the sky , one with everything in life .
i believe it will start with conviction of the heart .
one earth , one sky , only one world , only one chance for one life .
when will we live? one child , one dream , only one life .
you’ve but one chance for one life . when will we live?
only one earth , and only one sky , and only one world .
we’ve only got one chance to live in one life .
i believe , it’s only gonna start when we begin with some conviction of the heart .

play around with the chords and find something comfortable to work with .
try muting the strings in the first part of the verse .
any way i hope this helps get you started , of course its my interpretation so its far
from perfect .
