Dsus4/A          D/A       A            A
In my early years I hid my tears
Bm          G              D
And passed my days alone
Bm             E             A
Adrift on an ocean of loneliness
G               A                  D
My dreams like nets were thrown
Dsus4/A          D/A        A          A
To catch the love that I'd heard of
Bm         G                    D
In books and films and songs
Bm                E            A
Now there's a world of illusion and fantasy
G                A       D
In the place where the real world belongs
G               A                D
Still I look for the beauty in songs

F#m                   A
To fill my head and lead me on
G                 A               D
Though my dreams have come up torn and empty
A                      G
As many times as love has come and gone

Dsus4/A             D/A       A           A
To those gentle ones my memory runs
Bm             G             D
To the laughter we shared at the meals
Bm               E                 A
I filled their kitchens and living rooms
G                A            D
With my schemes and my broken wheels

Dsus4/A            D/A        A               A
It was never clear how far or near
Bm           G        D
The gates to my citadel lay
Bm              E           A
They were cutting from stone some dreams of their own
G                   A                  D
But they listened to mine anyway
G             A                  D
I'm not sure what I'm trying to say

F#m                  A
It could be I've lost my way
G           A                     D
Though I keep a watch over the distance
A                     G
Heaven's no closer than it was yesterday

D           A               F#
And the angels are older
Bm            Bm/A                G
They know not to wait up for the sun
D                        A/C#
They look over my shoulder
Bm        Bm/A            E/G#                     A
At the maps and the drawings of the journey I've begun

Solo:
|Dsus4/A D/A |A |Bm G |D A/C# |
|Bm E |A |G A |D |
|Dsus4/A D/A |A |Bm G |D A/C# |
|Bm E |A |G A |D |

G                   A       D
Now the distance leads me farther on
F#m                            A
Though the reasons I once had are gone
G               A                       D
I keep thinking I'll find what I'm looking for
A                    G
In the sand beneath the dawn

D              A              F#
But the angels are older
Bm            Bm/A           G
They can see that the sun's setting fast
D                  A/C#
They look over my shoulder
Bm            Bm/A            E/G#               A
At the vision of paradise contained in the light of the past
D          A      F#
And they lay down behind me
Bm               Bm/A                         G
To sleep beside the road till the morning has come
D                            A/C#
Where they know they will find me
Bm             Bm/A       G
With my maps and my faith in the distance
A     D       G        A
Moving farther on
