  *this melody played throughout verses

    Fm
A thousand years, a thousand more

    Bbsus2                            Gm7sus4
A thousand times a million doors to eternity

                   Fm/Ab
I may have lived a thousand lives, a thousand times

    Bbsus2/Db                              Gm7sus4
An endless turning stairway climbs To a tower of souls

                      Fm
If it takes another thousand years, a thousand wars

      Bbsus2                               Gm7sus4
The towers rise to numberless floors in space

                       Fm/Ab
I could shed another million tears, a million breaths

Bbsus2Db Gm7sus4 A million names but only one true face

     Fm
A million roads, a million fears

    Bbsus2                                Gm7sus4
A million suns, ten million years of uncertainty

                   Fm/Ab
I could speak a million lies, a million songs

     Bbsus2/Db                                 Gm7sus4
A million rights, a million wrongs in this balance of time

                     Fm
But if there was a single truth, a single light

     Bbsus2                                 Gm7sus4
A single thought, a singular touch of grace

                     Fm/Ab
Then following this single point, this single flame

     Bbsus2/Db                          Gm7sus4
This single haunted memory of your face

     Fm    Bbsus2       Gm7sus4
I still   love          you,

    Fm      Bbsus2       Gm7sus4
I still   want          you

A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves Like galaxies in my head I may be numberless, I may be innocent I may know many things, I may be ignorant Or I could ride with kings and conquer many lands Or win this world at cards and let it slip my hands I could be cannon food, destroyed a thousand times Reborn as fortune's child to judge another's crimes Or wear this pilgrim's cloak, or be a common thief I've kept this single faith I have but one belief I still love you I still want you A thousand times these mysteries unfold themselves Like galaxies in my head On and on the mysteries unwind themselves Eternities still unsaid 'Till you love me

   Fm                     Bbsus2                  Gmb5
