[G] [D]
[Am] [Em]
You [E] shout in your sleep, I'm [A] surprised you're awake
It's just you sleep, [Em] is your conscious at rest?
[E] Once [A] put to the test, you [E] awake [Em] with a start
Just the [A] beating of your heart, just one man beneath the sky
Just [G] to live [D] is just [Em] to rise
[G] [D]
[Am] [Em]
You set sail across the sea, along [A] past thoughts and memories
[E] Childhoods and your fantasies, [Em] merged [A] with harsh realities
Now [Em] then, as the sail is hoist, [D] you find your [A] eyes are growing moist
And all the fears never voiced, so [G] you have to [D] make your final [A]
choice

[D] Say [A] we know the reason why
Some [E] are gone, some have died, the [Bm] youth [A] one in turn has died
There'll [E] be war, there'll be peace, but [Em] [A] everything one day recedes
Hold me high and turn to dust, all [G] those proud [D] men [E] turned to dust
[D] Show [A] all the things I've been there, [G] show [D] me [E] somewhere
