Verse 1:
 C majorC                 FF
Earth is like a church without a preacher

 C majorC                 FF
The people have to pray for themselves

 C majorC       E MajorE       A augmentedA   D7D7
Animals and birds cannot help them

 G+G      E MajorE       A augmentedA     D MajorD    C majorC  FF
Trees and plants have nothing new to say

Verse 2:
 C majorC                  FF
Planets are just bumbles, floating carelessly

 C majorC                  FF
Streets lined up with boxes, so it seems

 C majorC         E MajorE        A augmentedA   D7D7
Lined up there forever by their buildings

 G+G         E MajorE    A augmentedA      D MajorD     C majorC  FF
Standing in the way of children's dreams


Verse 3:
 C majorC              FF
So I made my way down this highway

 C majorC                 FF
Stopping now to rest and then to eat

 C majorC        E MajorE          A augmentedA    D7D7
Trying not to damage that that's in my way

 G+G        E MajorE    A augmentedA  D MajorD   C majorC  FF  C majorC  FF
Lookin' for a way to be  complete


Verse 4:
 C majorC               FF
That's how it ends in the beginning

 C majorC               FF
That's how I plan to say goodbye

 C majorC        E MajorE          A augmentedA  D7D7
Leavin' bells just as they were ringing

 G+G     E MajorE      A augmentedA   D MajorD      C majorC  FF
I'm not trying to make something die

Verse 5:
 C majorC           FF
My friend Al got the message

 C majorC                     FF
Sent it down that street with the boxes on

 C majorC         E MajorE          A augmentedA   D7D7
Lined up there forever, filled with thinkers

 G+G       E MajorE     A augmentedA   D MajorD   C majorC  FF  C majorC  FF
Working on solutions here and gone


Verse 6:
 C majorC             FF
I really want to make a difference

 C majorC                 FF
Trying now to help him with the work

 C majorC       E MajorE         A augmentedA   D7D7
Originating in the heart of something

 G+G           E MajorE      A augmentedA  D MajorD   C majorC  FF  C majorC  FF
Worth keeping in the soul when it gets hurt


Verse 7:
 C majorC                 FF
As we keep on building roads of boxes

 C majorC              FF
To think inside of what we will

 C majorC         E MajorE          A augmentedA  D7D7
With increasing distance from the foxes

 G+G     E MajorE      A augmentedA   D MajorD   C majorC  FF
From the wolves and whip-poor-wills


Verse 8:
   C majorC                FF
And from the crows and all the sea creatures

 C majorC               FF
Mermaids and the galleons of horse

 C majorC        E MajorE        A augmentedA  D7D7
Crossing over onto waves of fortunes

 G+G      E MajorE    A augmentedA   D MajorD   C majorC  FF
To finally crash upon the shore

 C majorC         FF
Upon the shore Upon the shore

 C majorC        FF
On the shore  On the shore

 C majorC        FF
On the shore  On the shore

 C majorC        FF
On the shore  On the shore

 C majorC        FF
On the shore  On the shore


Verse 9:
 C majorC              FF
Rescued there by primative tribesman

 C majorC                 FF
Living in round triangles forevermore

 C majorC    E MajorE      A augmentedA     D7D7
Never ever in a straight line

 G+G      E MajorE        A augmentedA  D MajorD    C majorC  FF  C majorC  FF  C majorC  FF
And always on the road to Heaven's door


Verse 10:
     C majorC               FF
Will the clouds and the rains come in torrents

       C majorC          FF
And will the winds blow forever on the shore

 C majorC       E MajorE         A augmentedA  D7D7
Over the dry land between the castles

 G+G         E MajorE    A augmentedA     D MajorD    C majorC  FF  C majorC  FF
Or the herds of horses grazing on the clover
