[Verse]
C G Dm
The days of our innocence and
C G Dm
grace flow by
C G Dm
The smiles we wear upon our
C G Dm
face blow by
Dm C G
Oh, the sweet wine of youth
Dm C G
Goes sour over time
Dm C G
Seems like the more that you lose
Dm C G
The more you ache to find
[Chorus]
Dm G C
A town called Amen
Dm G C
Like a bright-eyed smile
Dm G C
For some long lost friend
Dm G C C G C
It's a town called Amen
[Verse]
C G Dm
Sit at the window sill
C G Dm
See the children rushing by
C G Dm
Come a flood of summer rain
C G Dm
Strange increments of time
Dm C G
How the wild engines run
Dm C G
Burning shadows from our minds
Dm C G
Lord when the purging gets done
Dm C G
I sure pray what's left behind
[Chorus]
Dm G C
A town called Amen
Dm G C
Like a bright-eyed smile
Dm G C
For some long lost friend
Dm G C C
It's a town called Amen

C G Dm
Come lay down on this bed
C G Dm
Hey, close your weary eyes
C G Dm
Like the clouds above our heads
C G Dm
Life slowly passes by
Dm C G
Did you kiss the dog you love
Dm C G
When you were a little child?
Dm C G
Will you lay in the arms of
Dm C G
Some sweet reverie a while?
[Outro]
Dm G C
In a town called Amen
Dm G C
Like a bright sunrise
Dm G C
Hey, if you open up your eyes
Dm G C Dm G C
You're in a town called Amen, Amen
