INTRO
A G D A 2x
verse 1
A G D A
day break on the city streets from the corner of her eye
A G D A
pass the man who holds the box he'll try to get inside
Bm D D Dsus2 A
faces look back at me from their places on the wall
D Dsus2 A
above the girl who held the shining looking glass
A G D A 2x
verse 2
A G D A
she said all faces in here, have an undercoat of blue
A G
if you look real close with this glass of mine
D A
you can pick out every hue
Bm D D Dsus2 A
I took the glass from her hand and held it to the sky
D
I took one glimpse, I slipped and fell
Dsus2 A
into the other side
D A
sometimes I can't see how far we've come
D A
sometimes I feel like me body's gone numb
D A
sometimes I can't see how far we've come
G D
but I step back, and I look again
Dsus2 A
and my chains come undone
JAM 1 (short)
A G D A Play progression 4x, fast hits on G,D
verse 3
A G D A
back out on the sidewalk now crashing through the night
A G D A
feel first breath of air bringing in the sun
Bm D D Dsus2 A
on the bench ahead a man sat, playing national guitar
D Dsus2 A
I didn't recognize the tune but I dropped change in his jar
Pre-Chorus BRIDGE
C#
the first notes to hit my ears didn't sound quite right
D
but I let the sound wash over me
Dsus2 A Asus4 A Asus2
and it got me through the night
Chorus 1x

A G D A Play progression 8x, fast hits on G,D

Bm D E A Asus4 A Asus2
the journey started long ago, now see the story through
D A
see, how far we've come
D A
feel, feel, feel what has begun
D A
we can be, be, be headed towards the sun
G D A
if we free ourselves from these chains of inspection
JAM on A till end
