Verse 1:

C minorCm      Cm7Cm7      G#G#
Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
C minorCm       Cm7Cm7       G#G#
In a world of magnets and miracles
C minorCm           Cm7Cm7      G#G#
Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
C minorCm           Cm7Cm7       G#G#
The ringing of the division bell had begun


Post-Verse 1:

C minorCm       Bb majorBb     G7G7         B minorBm C minorCm
Along the long road and on down the causeway
C minorCm       Bb majorBb      G7G7
Do they still meet there by the cut?


Verse 2:

C minorCm        Cm7Cm7         G#G#
There was a ragged band who followed in our footsteps
C minorCm       Cm7Cm7         G#G#
Running before time took our dreams away
C minorCm          Cm7Cm7         G#G#
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
C minorCm        Cm7Cm7     G#G#
To a life consumed by slow decay....


Chorus 1:

         C minorCm  G minorGm  G#G#  Bb majorBb
The grass was greener...
         C minorCm (D MajorD) Eb MajorEb  F minorFm (G+G) G#G#
The light was brighter...
         C minorCm  G minorGm  G#G#  Bb majorBb
When friends surrounded...
         C minorCm  (D MajorD) Eb MajorEb  F minorFm G+G
The nights of wonder...

Verse 3:

C minorCm         Cm7Cm7     G#G#
Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
C minorCm         Cm7Cm7         G#G#
To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
C minorCm     Cm7Cm7       G#G#
Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
C minorCm        Cm7Cm7        G#G#
Dragged by the force of some inner tide


Post-Verse 2:

C minorCm       Bb majorBb     G7G7      B minorBm C minorCm
At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
C minorCm       Bb majorBb           G7G7
We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world

C minorCm           Cm7Cm7       G#G#
Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
C minorCm      Cm7Cm7         G#G#
There's a hunger still unsatisfied
C minorCm    Cm7Cm7          G#G#
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
C minorCm       Cm7Cm7         G#G#
Go down this road I've been so many times...

The taste was sweeter...
         C minorCm Eb MajorEb (D MajorD) F minorFm (G+G) G#G#
The nights of wonder...
         C minorCm G minorGm G#G# Bb majorBb
With friends surrounded...
         C minorCm (D MajorD) Eb MajorEb F minorFm (G+G) G#G#
The dawn mist glowing...
       C minorCm G minorGm G#G# Bb majorBb
The water flowing...
       C minorCm (D MajorD) Eb MajorEb  F minorFm (D MajorD) G#G#
The endless river...

Forever and ever...
