There's a place [A] where I've been [D] told [G] Every street [A] is [D] paved with gold
And it's just [Bm]
across the [A] borderline [Em] [D]
[A] [Em] [D] And when it's time [A] to take your [D] turn
Here's a lesson [G] that you must learn [Em] [D] You could lose [A] more than you ever [Bm] [A] hoped [D] to find
When you reach the [A] broken [G] [D] promised land [G] And every dream [Em] [D] slips through your hands
