[Verse 1]
         F               D        
I fought my feelings and got in 
  G
the way,
         F                  D     
Could've been easier like a decade
    G
 of days.
            F               D     
Projection, young marriage, 
       G
lighting the stage,
         F         D    F        
I wanted feelings, that got in my
     G   F G Am F
 own way.  Oh!


[Verse 2]
     G          F             
Then wrote that letter that had 
  D          G
nothing to say,
         F             D          
Staccato vision like a kingdom of 
G
days.
            F              D       
All lonely, or not lonely, century 
G
away,
          F        D     F       
But still a vision as if help's 
      G   F G  Am  F G
on its way.  Oh!


[Chorus 1]
Am                F        
Someone, who will lead you to 
       G
someone,
                         Am
Who will lead you to someone.
                  C
Who will lead you to the one,
F          C      G         Am F
At the end of the century.
 G Am F



[Verse 3](Picked Bass line over)
    G      Am        F      G
The air is clearer a decade away, 
Oh!
           F                D 
Singing to a mountain, that was 
            G
empty all along.
            F               D     
All lonely, young marriage, 
   G
lighting the way,  Oh!
           F        D    F       
She wanted feelings that got in 
       G     D G
her own way.  Oh!

(Slow, softly spoken words over 
Keyboards, Bass guitar, gently 
picked Lead and Drums)
F      Am  G        F
A century, how long is that?
C              Am          F    
Three billion, one hundred and 
     D
fifty five million,
G            F            
Nine hundred and seventy three 
Am             F
thousand, six hundred seconds.
C             D           G
Eight hundred and seventy six 
million hours,
F
Or thirty six thousand, five hundred
 days.
C          D             G 
Almost as long as one of those 
                           F
endless dark nights of the soul,
F     Em          F     C
Those nights that never end. (A 
century)
Am       F              Em      
When you believe you'll never 
      Am
see the sun rise again,
C      F             Em          
When a single second feels like a 
 Am
century.  (A century)
