Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][E]
[Em][A][G][A][Em][G][D]
[Am][Em]

[Verse 1]
You [Em]shout in your sleep.
Perhaps [A]the price is just too [Am]steep.
Is your con[Em]science at rest
If once [A]put [Am]to the test?
You [Em]awake with a start
To just the [A]beat[Am]ing of your [A]heart.[Am]
Just [A]one man beneath the sky,
[Am]Just two [G]ears,
just two [Em]eyes.

[Interlude 1]
[G][D][Am][Em]

[Verse 2]
You set [Em]sail across the sea
Of long past [A]thoughts and memories.
[Am]Childhood's en d[Em], your fantasies
Merge with [Am]harsh [A]real[Am]ities.
And [Em]then as the sail is hoist,
You find your [Am]eyes [A]are growing [Am]moist.
All the fears never voiced
Say you have [G]to make [D]your final [A]choice.

[Interlude 2]
[Am][G][Em][Am][Em]
[Am][Em][Am][A][Am][A][Am]
[G][Am][Em][G][D][Am][Em]

[Verse 3]
Who are [Em]you and who am I
To say [Am]we know the [A]reason why?
Some [Em]are born; some men die
Beneath one [A]infinite [Am]sky.
There'll [Em]be war, there'll be peace.
But [Am]everything one day will cease.
All the iron turned [A]to rust;
All [Am]the proud [G]men tur[A]ned to dus[Em]t.
And so all [A]thing[Am]s, t[A]ime wi[Am]ll mend.[A][Am]
[A]So [G]this song will end[Em].
