Verse: 1
Gmaj7
If I could speak to the breeze
What would she teach?
Em7
I'd ask politely for peace
Or some guidance at least
C
Perhaps she'd tell me to leave
D
Conceal the secrets in the air that I breathe
Pre-Chorus:
Gmaj7
If I could speak to the sea
What would she preach?
Em7
I'd ask her what does it mean
To know the depths of belief?
C
Perhaps she'd guide me beneath
D
Reveal the meaning in the fathoms unseen
Gmaj7
Then they'd say reality
Em7
Was never for me
C
Reality
D
Was never for me, never for me
Verse: 2
Gmaj7 (let ring out)
If I could speak to the trees
What would they plea?
(percussion) Em7
I'd watch the wind thieve their seeds
Lend them moments to grieve
C
Perhaps they'd bleed just like me
D
Deliver their message in the words that I read
Pre-Chorus:
Gmaj7
If I could speak to the leaves
What would they heed?
Em7
I'd ask them what do they seek
As they descend from the trees
C
Perhaps they'd rest at my feet
D
Administer healing in the tea that I drink
Gmaj7
Then they'd say reality
Em7
Was never for me
C
Reality
D
Was never for me, never for me
Verse: 3 (the chords here are arpeggiated)
Gmaj7
How am I to understand
Everything I am
Em7
If I don't look beyond the thoughts I have?
Learning that it takes some time
C
To separate the mind
D
And I just wonder, now
Gmaj7
If all that I have ever known
Is all that I was ever shown
Em7
Questioning who sees behind these eyes
C
Maybe if I find a reason
D
That lasts beyond the seasons
Gmaj7*
I'd ask if reality
Em7
Was ever for me
C
Reality
D
Was never for me, never for me
Outro
Gmaj7*
If I could see the supreme
What would he think?
Em7
If he stood in front of me
Would I believe?
C
He'd ask me to take a seat
Pour us a drink
D
And show me all I could be
