[Intro]
Four, three, two, one
C Fsus2 C Fsus2 C Am C/B
C
[Verse 1]
C
Play me something gently,
Fsus2 C
I'm across the ocean missin' home
Fsus2 C
There are lights on sparklin' towers that shine
Am C/B
dark when seen alone
C Fsus2 C
Somewhere there's a mountain that overlooks the sea
Fsus2 C Am C/B
I wonder if that mountain's got more rock than my band and
C
me
Fsus2 C
And I ain't no victim to a naive boy's dreams
Fsus2 C Am
But I wish you were here now to see these damned old
G C
sparklin' things
[Chorus]
Fsus2 C
It's a long road to heaven
G Am
It's a far drop to hell
Fsus2 C
I pray we outlive this fountain
G Am
I reckon time will tell
Fsus2 C
The stronger folks keep go___in'
G
No matter where they've been
Am Fsus2
And there are lights on sparklin' towers
C G Am
That I'll never see again
[Verse 2]
C Fsus2 C
I am not the person that I was yesterday
Fsus2 C Am G/B C
And the things I'm seeing now will never be the same
Fsus2 C
Do you think God's a person or the blinking lights?
Fsus2 C Am G
That reflect in her eyes while she walks these streets at
C
night
Fsus2 C
Do you think God's a person or is He just the sound
Fsus2 C Am G/B C
Of laughter through the walls in a place I haven't found?
[Chorus]
Fsus2 C
It's a long road to heaven
G Am
It's a far drop to hell
Fsus2 C
I pray we outlive this fountain
G Am
I reckon time will tell
Fsus2 C
The stronger folks keep go___in'
G
No matter where they've been
Am Fsus2
There are lights on sparklin' towers
C G
That I'll never see again
[Outro]
Am C F C
Do you think God's a person or is He just the sound
F C Am G C
Of early mornin' creakin' on some floors way out of town?
F C
I'm breathin' in a life and my legs are workin' fine
F C Am G C
Do you think God's a person or the slowly passin' time?
