A thousand years, a thousand [Abm] more, a thousand times, a million boys [F] to return to.
A million, [Ebm] a thousand lives, a thousand [Abm] times, an endless journey, stairway climbs [Ab] to a tower of souls.
It takes [Ebm] another thousand years, a thousand [Abm] wars, a child was rushed from numberless [Fm] parts of space.
Yet [Db] another million tears, a million deaths, a [B] million leaves, but only what you [Bb] seek, baby.
[Eb]
[Ebm]
A million morals, a million fears, [Abm] a million suns, just a million years of [Ab] uncertainty.
I could [Ebm] speak a million lies, a million [Abm] songs, a million rights, a million wrongs in this
[Fm] balance of time.
[Ab]
But if there [Ebm] was a single truth, a single [Abm] light, a single thought, a singular [Ab] touch
of grace, it's following [Bbm] the single point, the single flame, the [B] single haunted memory
[Bb] of your face.

[Ebm] Or I could ride with the [Abm] kings, conquer many lands.
[Ab] Or when this world collides and they slip my hands, [Ebm] I could be cannon food.
[Abm]
Destroyed a thousand times, [Fm] upon this marching child, judging lovers' [Db] crimes.
Or as this world goes [B] cold, I'll be [Abm] a common thief.
[Bbm] I've kept this single faith I have, [Ab] but one believer.
[Eb] I still [Abm]
love [Ab] you.
[Eb] [Abm] I still want [Fm]
[Gb] you.
A thousand times, a mystery, [B] so far themselves like galaxies [Bb] in my head.
[Ebm] [Abm] On and [B] on, the mysteries [Abm]
unwind themselves, the trinity [Bbm] still unsaid.
