[Intro]
Am G Am G Am G Am G
[Verse 1]
Fmaj7 G Am G And the lights lie tumbled out like gems Fmaj7 G Am G The moon is nothing but a toothless grin Fmaj7 G Dm Floating out on the evening wind C G Fmaj7 The smell of sweat and lube oil pervades the night C G Fmaj7 G Am G Am G And the rush of life in flight at the speed of light
[Verse 2]
Fmaj7 G Am G A million footsteps whispering Fmaj7 G Am G A guitar sounds—some voices sing Fmaj7 G Dm Smoke on the breeze—eyes that sting C G Fmaj7 And far in the east a yellow cloud bank climbs C G Fmaj7 G Am G Am G Stretching away to be part of tomorrow's time
[Verse 3]
Fmaj7 G Am G Earthbound while everything expands Fmaj7 G Am G So many grains of sand
Fmaj7. G. Dm
Slipping from hand to hand
C G Fmaj7 Catching the light and falling into dark C G Fmaj7 The world fades out like an overheard remark Fmaj7 G Am G Am G Am G In the falling dark
[Verse 4]
Fmaj7 G Am G Light pours from a million radiant lives Fmaj7 G Am G Off of kids and dogs and the hard-shelled husbands and wives Fmaj7 G Dm All of that glory shining around and we're all caught taking a dive C G Fmaj7 And all the beasts of the hills around shout "Such a waste! C G Don't you know that from the first to the last Fmaj7 G Am G Am G Am. G Am G Am We're all one in the gift of grace!"
