[Am] I'm central [C] to know where I'm thinking [F] of sweeping it [Dm] clean.
[Am] When we choose to go [C] we're losing more than [F] just our [Dm] surroundings.
[Am] I've gone around the [C]
sides of this [F] universe as [Dm] it stands.
[Am] Outside the limits [C] of our only [F] distance, well, that never [Dm] ends.
[F] Respect [C] people to their [D] gods, [F] whether [Am] they're still here or
[F] [C] not.
[Dm] [F] Fame, I've [C] just met them [Dm] here.
[F]
Remember that [Am] moment I'd [F] appear.
[Dm]
[A] Anything that could one [C] day be such [F] me, that's what I'm [Dm] saying.
If [Am] something was nothing, it must not be
[Em] something.
[F] Then if possible, [D] when you lose [Am] yourself in [C] all the world,
[F] settle right under [Dm] your feet.
Switch [Am] below and above all the [C] way up [F] into [Dm] infinity.
If
[F] [C] [Dm] only I
[F] [Am] knew what's in the [F]
[C] [Dm] past.

[Am] All the times [Dm] I've had [F]
[Am] to listen and [Dm] [F] wait.

[Am] I can't believe these [G] words I'm [F] saying.
[Dm] You've gotta feel your love, you've gotta feel your heart.
[Am] You're in a time that [Em] is not [F] near.
As a [Am] man of [Em] [F] fear I [Am] can't believe these [Em] words [Fm] I'm saying.
[Dm] You've gotta feel your love, you've gotta feel your [Am] heart.
You're in a time [Em] that is [F] not near.
As [Am] a man [G] [F]
