Repeat untill verse
[Verse 1]
[Am] Beyond the [Am7]horizon of the[F] place we lived when we were young
[Am] In a world of[Am7] magnets and miracle[F]s
[Am] Our thoughts strayed [Am7]constantly and wi[F]thout boundary
[Am] The ringing of the[Am7] division bell had b[F]egun
[F] Along the long road a[E]nd on down the causeway
[F] Do they still me[E]et there by the cut
[Verse 2]
[Am] There was a ragged[Am7] band who followed i[F]n our footsteps
[Am] Running before tim[Am7]es took our dreams a[F]way
[Am] Leaving the myriad[Am7] small creatures try[F]ing to tie us to the ground
[Am] To a life consumed[Am7] by slow decay[F]
[Cborus 1]
[F] The grass was g[Am]reener[Em] [F] [G]
The light was bri[Am]ghter[C] [Dm] [F]
When friends surr[Am]ounde[Em]d[F] [G]
The nights of won[Am]der[C] [Dm]
[Verse 3]
[Am] Looking beyond the[Am7] embers of bridges g[F]lowing behind us
[Am] To a glimpse of ho[Am7]w green it was on th[F]e other side
[Am] Steps taken forwar[Am7]ds but sleepwalking [F]back again
[Am] Dragged by the for[Am7]ce of some inner t[F]ide
[F] At a higher altit[E]ude with flag unfurled
[F] We reached the dizz[E]y heights of that dreamed of world

[Verse 4]
[Am] Encumbered forever[Am7] by desire and ambit[F]ion
[Am] There's a hunger st[Am7]ill unsatisfied[F]
[Am] Our weary eyes sti[Am7]ll stray to the hori[F]zon
[Am] Go down this road [Am7]I've been so many ti[F]mes
[Cborus 2]
[F] The grass was gr[Am]eener[Em] [F] [G]
The light was bri[Am]ghter[C] [Dm] [F]
The taste was swe[Am]eter[Em] [F] [G]
The nights of won[Am]der[C] [Dm] [F]
With friends surr[Am]ounded[Em] [F] [G]
The dawn mist glo[Am]wing[C] [Dm] [F]
The water flo[Am]wing[Em] [F] [G]
The endless ri[Am]ver[C] [Dm] [F]
Forever and ever...
