And I              could   easily   fall  from grace,                Then a- nother would take my place,
    days           of my   life are but grains of sand,              As they fall from your open hand,

Many words are spoken when there's nothing to say,  They fall upon the ears of those, who don't know the way 
Show me how to follow you, and I'll obey,           Teach me how to reach you, I can't find my own way,

to read between the lines, that lead between the lines, that lead me to you.     All that I ask you is 
   Let me see the light,     let me be the light
[Bridge] (1x) ... as above 2nd pass ... [Verse] (1x) ... as above 2nd pass ... As the sun turns slowly around the sky, 'Til the shadow of night is high, The eagle will learn to fly, And the days of his life are but grains of sand, As they fall from your open hand, and vanish upon the land [Chorus] (2x) ... as above ... [Bridge] (1x) ... measure 1+2 only ... [Verse] (1x) ... as above, slow down at the end ... And so, with no warning, no last goodbye, In the dawn of the morning sky, the eagle will rise again. ************************************ | a Arpeggio: all notes in the chord are played harp-like in one beat in fast sequence | h Hammer-on | p Pull-off | \ Slide down |(1) Play only in 2nd pass |[1] Play only in 1st pass ************************************
