[Intro] Gm(no5) G5/F Ebmaj7 Cm7 Bb/Eb Fsus4 F Bbsus4 Bb Bb/Ab Gsus2sus4 [Verse] Gsus2sus4 Day after day
F6       Ebmaj7         Cm7
I feel myself slowing down

Ebmaj7       Fadd9
What does it mean?
Gsus2sus4 The air has changed
G5/F         Ebmaj7        Cm7
It's getting harder to breath

Ebmaj7         F
Or so it would seem
[Pre-Chorus]
Bbsus4  Bb        Bb/Ab
Sail me away to a distant shore
Gsus2sus4 Where everything's fine [Chorus]
  Cm7 Ebmaj7  Fadd9
A thousand years

Cm7     Ebmaj7          Fadd9
Lost in the blink of an eye

       Fm7       Eb/Ab
If the sky keeps fallin'

    Bbsus4 Bbadd9             Cm7
The world  will come tumblin' down

Ebmaj7          Fadd9
In a thousand years
[Verse] Gsus2sus4 Tell me my friend
F6       Ebmaj7      Cm7
Can you imagine a place

     Ebmaj7            Fadd9
Free of boundaries and lies
Gsus2sus4 There's blood on the wind
G5/F         Ebmaj7        Cm7    Ebmaj7     F
And it's come all of the way from faraway skies
[Pre-Chorus]
Bbsus4  Bb        Bb/Ab
Take me away to a different world
Gsus2sus4 Where everything's fine [Chorus]
  Cm7 Ebmaj7  Fadd9
A thousand years

Cm7     Ebmaj7          Fadd9
Lost in the blink of an eye

       Fm7       Eb/Ab
If the sky keeps fallin'

    Bbsus4 Bbadd9             Cm7
The world  will come tumblin' down

Ebmaj7         Fadd9
In a thousand years

  Cm7 Ebmaj7  Fadd9
A thousand years

Cm7     Ebmaj7    Fadd9
One day for every life

     Fm7     Eb/Ab
Just keep on going

      Bbsus4 Bbadd9          Cm7
We'll find   you a home underground

Ebmaj7         Fadd9
In a thousand years
