Many Roads

F C Bb  x2


[Verse 1]
          F                C   
If you'll step inside this great 
           Bb
glass elevator
      F           C           
It'll take us up above the city 
   Bb
lights
             F              C     
To where the planet curves away to
        F
 the equator
           Bb                 C
I want to show you something fine

                 F               
You can see the roads that we all 
   C                  Bb
traveled just to get here
             F         C          
A million minuscule decisions in a
  Bb
 line
            F           C         
Why they brought us to this moment
          F
 isn't clear
      Bb         C                
But that's all right, we've got 
    C
all night


[Chorus]
                      Bb
Could it be that the many roads
             F
You took to get here
              C                  A
Were just for me to tell this story
         Dm               Bb
And for you to hear this song
                Bb
And your many hopes
                F
And your many fears
                C               
Were meant to bring you here all 
   Bb
along


[Verse 2]
Continues after the ad
               F                 C
So if you'll trust me with your 
                   Bb
time I'll spend it wisely
         F                C       
I will sing to you with all I have
     Bb
 to give
         F                C       
If you traveled all this way, then
        F             Bb
 I will do my best to play
            C                 C
My biggest hits (that don't exist)

                F              C  
And if you'll lend to me your ear 
                Bb
I'll sing 'em pretty
         F           C            
I will never, ever sing 'em out of
   Bb
 tune
            F               C
And I will not forget the words
         F                  Bb
Of any chorus, bridge, or verse
            C   C
I promise you (oooh)


[Chorus]
                      Bb
'Cause it it be that the many roads
             F
You took to get here
              C                  A
Were just for me to tell this story
         Dm               Bb
And for you to hear this song
                Bb
And your many hopes
                F
And your many fears
                C               
Were meant to bring you here all 
   Bb
along


[Bridge]
                  Dm             
'Cause we've got Benjamin to play 
             C
the grand piano
           F                       
If we're lucky it's a little out of
   Bb
 tune
           Dm            C        
We've got Andy on the guitar 
      Eb
'cause I promised him
               Bb     F
Some Texas barbecue (yah)

[Verse 3]
        F
How I love to watch you listen to 
the music
             F                  
'Cause you sing to me a music of 
       Bb
your own
      F                  C        
As I cast out all these lines, so 
   Am               Bb
afraid that I will find
       C          C
I am alone, all alone


[Chorus]
                      Bb
Well could it be that the many roads
             F
You took to get here
              C                  A
Were just for me to tell this story
         Dm               Bb
And for you to hear this song
                Bb
And your many hopes
                F
And your many fears
                C               
Were meant to bring you here all 
   Bb
along
                   C               
We were meant to be right here all 
   Bb
along
