Billy Joel - Two thousand years

In the beg^Ginning there was the ^G/Bcold ^Cand the ^Dnight Prophets and ^Amangels ^Am7 gave us the ^Cfire ^Dand the ^Glight F6 [xx3535] Man was triumphant Bdim [xx3434] Am C#dim [xx2323] Armed with the faith and the will That even the ^Gdarkest ^Cages couldn't ^Dkill

Too many ^Gkingdoms Too many ^G/Bflags ^Con the ^Dfield So many ^Ambattles ^Am7 So many ^Cwounds ^Dto be ^Ghealed F6 [xx3535] Time is relentless Bdim [xx3434] Am C#dim [xx2323] Only true love perseveres It's been a ^Glong time and ^Emnow I^G/B'm with ^Cyou D [G C Em D] [G C Em D] [G C Em D] [G C Em D G] After two thousand years

This is our ^Gmoment Here at the ^G/Bcross^Croads of ^Dtime We hope our c^Amhildren ^Am7 Carry our d^Creams d^Down the ^Gline F6 [xx3535] they are the vintage Bdim [xx3434] Am C#dim [xx2323] What kind of life will they live? Is this a ^Gcurse or a ^Cblessing that we ^Dgive?

Sometimes I ^Gwonder Why are we ^G/Bso ^Cblind to ^DFate? Without compa^Amssion ^Am7 there can be ^Cno ^Dend to ^Ghate F6 [xx3535] No end to sorrow Bdim [xx3434] Am C#dim [xx2323] caused by the same endless fears Why can’t we l^Gearn from ^Emall ^G/Bwe’ve been ^Cthrough D [G C Em D] [G C Em D] [G C Em D] [G C Em D G] after two thousand years?

There will be ^Gmiracles after the ^G/Blast ^Cwar is ^Dwon Science and ^Ampoetry ^Am7 Rule in the ^Cnew ^Dworld to ^Gcome F6 [xx3535] Prophets and angels Bdim [xx3434] Am C#dim [xx2323] gave us the power to see what an a^Gmazing ^Cfuture there will ^Dbe

And in the ^Gevening after the ^G/Bfire ^Cand the ^Dlight One thing is ^Amcertain ^Am7 nothing can ^Chold ^Dback the ^Gnight F6 [xx3535] Time is relentless Bdim [xx3434] Am C#dim [xx2323] and as the past disappears We’re on the ^Gverge ^Emof al^G/Bl things ^Cnew D [G C Em D] [G C Em D] [G C Em D] [G C Em D G] We are two thousand years
