Verse:
 G+G        E minor 7Em7   G/F#       C majorC
Some things I've done make my conscience burn,

My very spine shutter and squirm.
G+G      E minor 7Em7    G/F#  C majorC
I only hope that I've learned from my sins.
G+G          E minor 7Em7  G/F#
I heard a voice when I was 13,
   C majorC
Got baptised and washed up clean.
     G+G            E minor 7Em7    G/F#
But the world has a way, if you know what I mean,
C majorC
Of scuffin' you up again.

 D MajorD     D/F#D/F#    G+G
I can't explain a blessed thing,
    C majorC
Not a fallen star or a feathered wing,
  D MajorD      D/F#D/F#         G+G     C majorC
Or how a man in chains can have the strength to sing.
D MajorD     D/F#D/F#   G+G
Just one thing is clear to me,
like a bird)
     C majorC
There's always more than what appears to be
        D MajorD      D/F#D/F#   G+G   C majorC
And when the light's just right I swear I
see...poetry. -

G+G E minor 7Em7 G/F# C majorC

G+G          E minor 7Em7 G/F#
Well, somebody made everything
     C majorC
From my soul inside out to Saturn's rings,
    G+G        E minor 7Em7 G/F#   C majorC
How my baby smiles, how Ray Charles sings...

Of course we were created.
 G+G          E minor 7Em7    G/F#
Clouds make rain, the ocean makes sand,
   C majorC
The earth breathes fire, and lava makes land.
 G+G         E minor 7Em7  G/F#
Well, that took a mighty hand
    C majorC
And a wild imagination.

E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD 4x

 G+G          E minor 7Em7   G/F#
Dreams I dreamed came back ten-fold
      C majorC
From the friends that I have to the woman I hold.
G+G         E minor 7Em7   G/F#
I look down on a street of gold,
    C majorC
After all the mud along the way.
 G+G          E minor 7Em7 G/F#  C majorC
Sometimes a big ol' mystery can lead right in on me.
     G+G       E minor 7Em7 G/F#
Says that I am home and I am free...
   C majorC
And I'll take that anyday.

D MajorD     D/F#D/F#   G+G
Just one thing is clear to me,
     C majorC
There's always more than what appears to be
        D MajorD      D/F#D/F#   G+G   C majorC
And when the light's just right I swear I
see...poetry.
