G C G C [Verse 1]
C G C G Don't you want to be there, don't you want to go?
Bm G Em Where the light is breaking and the cold clear winds blow
C G C G Don't you want to be there in the golden glow [Verse 2]
C G C G Don't you want to be there, don't you want to fly?
Bm G Em With your arms out, let a shout take you across the sky
C G C G C Don't you want to be there when the time's gone by [Chorus 1]
G C Times there was love all around you
G C Times you were strong and alone
G C Times you believed love had found you
G G/F# Em And you fell through time like a stone

C D And those you have wronged, you know
G G/F# Em You need to let them know some way
C D And those who have wronged you, know
G G/F# Em You'll have to let them go someday
C Don't you want to be there?
A7 Don't you want to cry when you see how far
G B7 Em You've got to go to be where forgiveness rules
C G Instead of where you are [Verse 3]
C G C G Don't you want to be there, don't you want to know?
Bm G Em Where the grace and simple truth of childhood go
C G C G C Don't you want to be there when the trumpets blow [Chorus 2]
G C Blow for those born into hunger
G C Blow for those lost 'neath the train
G C Blow for those choking in anger
G G/F# Em Blow for those driven insane
C D And those you have wronged, you know
G G/F# Em You need to let them know some way
C D And those who have wronged you, know
G G/F# Em You'll have to let them go someday
C Don't you want to be there?
A7 Don't you want to see where the angels appear
G B7 Em Don't you want to be where there's strength and love
C G In the place of fear
