Verse 1:
  F minorFm  Bb majorBb     Eb MajorEb
Oh make the future small
     AbAb      Eb MajorEb    AbAb
Like the painting we saw of St. Francis
        C minorCm F minorFm Bb majorBb    Eb MajorEb
And there was, far away, a background city-
           AbAb       F minorFm
We only found it with magnifiers and light
   C minorCm           F minorFm  Bb majorBb
And I do wish the future was like that
    Eb MajorEb
Don't I know it

AbAb F minorFm C minorCm AbAb C minorCm AbAb

Verse 2:
C minorCm F minorFm Bb majorBb      Eb MajorEb
Oh I will not move on

I'll be here on the lawn
    AbAb
In the same coat I have had
C minorCm F minorFm   Bb majorBb   Eb MajorEb
Although I ask that I could correct
       AbAb
Every time of mistake and every regret
      C minorCm           F minorFm  Bb majorBb
And there's so much that I haven't yet
    Eb MajorEb
Don't I know it

Interlude:
AbAb F minorFm C minorCm AbAb C minorCm AbAb

Chorus:
      F minorFm  C minorCm  F minorFm C minorCm    G minorGm
And in the background of St. Francis
C minorCm  G minorGm   AbAb       F minorFm  C minorCm F minorFm
There are rivers, spires, a long way off
C minorCm    G minorGm C minorCm G minorGm   AbAb    Eb MajorEb
We could not really see them very well
     F minorFm C minorCm F minorFm C minorCm
I want to be beside you
    G minorGm C minorCm  G minorGm
Through all these things
AbAb
Cannot
     F minorFm  C minorCm  F minorFm C minorCm
I want to keep this future
   G minorGm  C minorCm G minorGm   AbAb
From such closer measure
      Eb MajorEb
Cannot very well
