Am G Am G Am G Am G
[Verse 1]
Fmaj7 G Am G
And the lights lie tumbled out like gems
Fmaj7 G Am G
The moon is nothing but a toothless grin
Fmaj7 G Dm
Floating out on the evening wind
C G Fmaj7
The smell of sweat and lube oil pervades the night
C G Fmaj7 G Am G Am G
And the rush of life in flight at the speed of light
[Verse 2]
Fmaj7 G Am G
A million footsteps whispering
Fmaj7 G Am G
A guitar sounds—some voices sing
Fmaj7 G Dm
Smoke on the breeze—eyes that sting
C G Fmaj7
And far in the east a yellow cloud bank climbs
C G Fmaj7 G Am G Am G
Stretching away to be part of tomorrow's time
[Verse 3]
Fmaj7 G Am G
Earthbound while everything expands
Fmaj7 G Am G
So many grains of sand
Fmaj7. G. Dm
Slipping from hand to hand
C G Fmaj7
Catching the light and falling into dark
C G Fmaj7
The world fades out like an overheard remark
Fmaj7 G Am G Am G Am G
In the falling dark
[Verse 4]
Fmaj7 G Am G
Light pours from a million radiant lives
Fmaj7 G Am G
Off of kids and dogs and the hard-shelled husbands and wives
Fmaj7 G Dm
All of that glory shining around and we're all caught taking a dive
C G Fmaj7
And all the beasts of the hills around shout "Such a waste!
C G
Don't you know that from the first to the last
Fmaj7 G Am G Am G Am. G Am G Am
We're all one in the gift of grace!"
