Verse 1:
Cm Cm7 Ab Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young Cm Cm7 Ab In a world of magnets and miracles Cm Cm7 Ab Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary Cm Cm7 Ab The ringing of the division bell had begun
Post-Verse 1:
Cm Bb G7 Bm Cm Along the long road and on down the causeway Cm Bb G7 Do they still meet there by the cut?
Verse 2:
Cm Cm7 Ab There was a ragged band who followed in our footsteps Cm Cm7 Ab Running before time took our dreams away Cm Cm7 Ab Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground Cm Cm7 Ab To a life consumed by slow decay....
Chorus 1:
Cm Gm Ab Bb The grass was greener... Cm ( D ) Eb Fm ( G ) Ab The light was brighter... Cm Gm Ab Bb When friends surrounded... Cm ( D ) Eb Fm G The nights of wonder...
Verse 3:
Cm Cm7 Ab Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us Cm Cm7 Ab To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side Cm Cm7 Ab Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again Cm Cm7 Ab Dragged by the force of some inner tide
Post-Verse 2:
Cm Bb G7 Bm Cm At a higher altitude with flag unfurled Cm Bb G7 We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world

Verse 4:
Cm Cm7 Ab Encumbered forever by desire and ambition Cm Cm7 Ab There's a hunger still unsatisfied Cm Cm7 Ab Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon Cm Cm7 Ab Go down this road I've been so many times...
Chorus 2:
Cm Gm Ab Bb The grass was greener... Cm ( D ) Eb Fm ( G ) Ab The light was brighter... Cm Gm Ab Bb The taste was sweeter... Cm Eb ( D ) Fm ( G ) Ab The nights of wonder... Cm Gm Ab Bb With friends surrounded... Cm ( D ) Eb Fm ( G ) Ab The dawn mist glowing... Cm Gm Ab Bb The water flowing... Cm ( D ) Eb Fm ( D ) Ab The endless river... Cm Gm Ab Bb Forever and ever...
