[Intro] Em C D G D G D Em C D G D G D [Verse 1]
                  Em
Do you ever look around, turn your ear to the ground

          C                     D                         G
Show your face to the sky, on a night when the skies echo sounds

                                D
From inside of your mind on the stage that you shone

                              G   D
Where the sun did become you, and

    Em
And move with your thoughts, through the sighs and the scenes

       C                            D
Of the worlds you have seen and the sights that have been

       G                              D
Your reflection in shadows and dreams

                                G     D
Your reflection in shadows and dreams
[Verse 2]
                   Em
Did you ever see a man, who did walk down the street

C                    D
  White robe with no shoes on his feet

       G
And on top of his head place a box with two slits

        D                                        G D
And the sign from his neck said "I do not exist"

     Em
Or a woman who could not remember her name

    C                   D
Did stutter and stutter again and again

    G
And saw you and called you her son, her eyes said

    D                                     G D
"My being is gone but still I'm not dead"
[Chorus]
Em
Oh

[Solo] Em C G D G D Em D C Am G D G D C C Bm Bm [Verse 3]
                     Em
Have you ever seen a sound, have you listened to an image

         C
Have you ever touched a thought

         D
Have you ever tasted nothing

         G
Have you ever told a lie that was true more than truth

        D
Because truth it had lied

                                   G   D
All its life when it spoke to you, and

    Em
And what did it say, it is that, it is this

          C                          D
This goes here, here is there, it is not, yes it is

       G
It was dulling your senses your eyes they were bound

         D                                   G D
Have you ever my friends been looking around
[Verse 4]
        Em
And the other replies with a wave of a hand

     C                    D
I am already here in this promised land

    G
But not by a god and not by a king

    D                                G D
And not by a spirit deep from within
[Pre-Chorus]
     Em
I am here because a miracle's a whim

       D
It's a flash of glory, it's an empty tin

    C                       N.C.
and maybe might lets you in

G D G        D
      Not to save you, but to keep on looking, and
[Chorus]
Em
Oh

Miserere

         C             D
Have you ever, been so happy that you're sad

         G                             C
That the lights turn to stars, and the stars become eyes

        D
And hellos are goodbyes, and the laughs are the sighs

        D                                         C
And the show disappears with the note "until next time"

D          G
Long live living

   C             D     D
If living can be this

C D          G
  Long live living

   C             D
If living can be this

C D          G
  Long live living

   C             D
If living can be this

C D          G
  Long live living

   C             D     Bm
If living can be this
[Outro] Em C D G D G D
Em C D G          D
           Do you ever look around

                           G     D
And find what is yet to be found
