[G] [D]
[Am] [Em]
You [E] shout in your sleep, perhaps [A] surprised it's just too steep.
[Em] Is your conscience at rest,
[Bm] [A] once put to the test?
You [E] wake with a [Em] start, just [A] the beating of your heart.
Just one man beneath the sky, just [G] two ears, [A] just [E] two eyes.
[G] [D]
[Am] [Em]
You said sail across the sea, from long [A] past thoughts and memories.
Jawed [E] with tent or fantasies, and [Bm] nudged [A] with harsh realities.
And [E] then as the sailors hoist, you [Bm] smile [A] to your eyes with growing moist.
[D] And [A] all the fears never voiced, you say you [G] have to [D] make the final [A] choice.

Who are you and who am I?
[D] Say [A] we know the reason why.
Some [Em] are born, [E] some then die, [Em] beneath [A] one infinite sky.
And they'll [E] be war, they'll be peace, but [Em] [A] everything one day proceeds.
[D] All [A] the iron turned to rust, all [G] the proud [D] men turned to [E] dust.
[D] So [A] all things have a man,
[G] so [D] this [E] song will end.
