Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]The [D]clock [C]tic[G]k[C][G][D][G]
[D]s away all the [C]hours
[G]The pic[C]tures [G]are ragged and brown
[D]Could that rea[C]lly be me
[D]Looking you[G]ng and fee[D]ling free
[Em]And ma[D]rching m[Am]y hope into town
[D]We played in the cool water found in[G]
We [C]danced with [G]the blind an[D]d the lame
And the [C]lion of [D]stone who
be[G]lieved the unknown
[Em]Just [D]remarked that we
all looked the [G]same
And [C]where did the beautiful people
[G]Put all[C] their beautiful thi[G]ngs
The [C]love that we carried
on [G]banners of [Em]smiles
And [Am]the songs that we all used to [D]sing
The [G]times they were [D]only for [C]changing
[G]The [C]day of destruc[G]tion was [D]nigh
The [C]lonely one [D]told us he'd
[G]love us and [Em]hold us
And [Am]gave us a sad lullaby
[D]Now tho[G]se who kissed
[D]others for [C]freedom
[G]Like
[C]Judas are [G]taking the [D]gold
Con[C]ditioned [D]to pay all the [G]bills every
[Em]day with the f[A]ruits of the promi[D]ses so
[G]And whe[C]re did the beautiful people
[G]put all[C] their beautiful thi[G]ngs
The [C]love that we carried on ban[G]ners of [Em]smiles
and [Am]the songs that we all used to [D]sing
And [G]when did the bright [D]sunlight [C]morn
ing [G]turn [C]to a dull rai[G]ny day[D]?
And [C]how was the [D]hour for [G]finding our
[Em]power so [Am]easily taken [D]away?
For the [G]beaten and [D]so tired [C]army is
[G]now[C] in retreat dow[G]n the[D] road
That [C]leads them [D]to nowhere but [G]tells them to [Em]go where
they'll [Asus4]find that they[D]'re all growing old[G]
And [C]where did the beautiful people
[G]put all[C] their beautiful thi[G]ngs
The [C]love that we carried on,
[G]banners of [Em]smiles and [Am]the songs that we all used to [D]sing
And now [G]you come knocking [D]on [Em]my door
[G]To [C]tell me it's
Je[G]sus who [D]saves
But for [C]two thousand years
[D]He's bought not[G]hing but tea[Em]rs
And the [Am]cross is to plant on the [D]graves
So [G]where did the beau[D]tiful [Em]people
[G]Put[C] all their bea[G]utiful thi[D]ngs
The [C]love that we [D]carry
On [G]banners of [Em]smiles and [Am]the songs
that [D]we all used [G]to sing

[Outro 1]
