[VERSE 1]
A           E
Why do you dream

    D           A
of pearly white gates

A           E
high in the air

      D         A
where no bird flies

A        E
no tree grows

   D        A
beyond the sky

F#m   E   A
Our blue sky.
[VERSE 2]
A           E
Why do you dream

      D         A
that worms and dogs

A           E
hills and clouds

     D       A
are not like you?

A       E
Burning light

      D     A
that never dies,

F#m  E             A
Our blue spinning sky.
[CHORUS]
D
Why do you leave

   A
a trail of death

E
air turns brown

A
trees fall down

D
burn green fields

     A
and drive on by

F#m   E   A
Our blue sky

A               E
Could you love god

       D           A
if he didn't love you

A           E
more than rivers

  D        A
snakes or wind?

A                 E
Could you share heaven

       D            A
with black buzzing flies?

F#m   E            A
Our blue spinning sky
[VERSE 4]
A               E
What if this dream

you dream with pigs

A               E
you dream with dirt

     D       A
and this is home?

A         E
Is it so wrong

    D           A
to love this light?

F#m  E    A
our blue sky
