The Great Beyond Music & Lyrics by Peter Buck, Mike Mills & Michael Stipe From the album Man on the Moon (Music from the Motion Picture Soundtrack) (1999) [Intro] Am7 Dsus2 Am7 Dsus2 [Verse 1]

^Am7I've watched the ^Dsus2stars fall silent f^Am7rom your eye^Dsus2s ^Am7All the sights that ^Dsus2I have seen ^Am7 ^Dsus2 ^Am7I can't bel^Dsus2ieve that I bel^Am7ieved I wished that ^Dsus2you could see T^Am7here's a new planet in the ^Dsus2solar system T^Am7here is nothing ^Dsus2up my sleeve

[Hook]

I^C'm p^G/Bushing an el^Amephant up the stairs I^C'm t^G/Bossing up pu^Amnch lines that were never there O^Cver my sh^G/Boulder a p^Amiano falls Cra^Gshing to the ground

[Verse 2]

^Am7In all this ^Dsus2talk of time, ^Am7talk is fine ^Dsus2 But ^Am7I don't want to ^Dsus2stay around ^Am7 ^Dsus2 ^Am7Why can't we p^Dsus2antomime Just c^Am7lose our eyes and ^Dsus2sleep sweet dreams ^Am7Me and you have ^Dsus2wings on our feet ^Am7 ^Dsus2

[Hook]

I^C'm p^G/Bushing an el^Amephant up the stairs I^C'm t^G/Bossing up pu^Amnch lines that were never there O^Cver my sh^G/Boulder a p^Amiano falls Cra^Gshing to the ground

[Chorus]

^AmI'm bre^Caking th^Grough, I'm b^Dsus2ending s^Ampoons I'm ke^Ceping fl^Gowers in full b^Amloom I'm lo^Coking for an^Gswers from the g^Dreat b^Ceyond

[Interlude] Am7 Dsus2 Am7 Dsus2 [Verse 3]

I want the hu^Am7mming birds, the d^Dsus2ancing bears Sw^Am7eetest dreams of ^Dsus2you I ^Am7look into the ^Dsus2stars I ^Am7look into the ^Dsus2moon

[Hook]

I^C'm p^G/Bushing an el^Amephant up the stairs I^C'm t^G/Bossing up pu^Amnch lines that were never there O^Cver my sh^G/Boulder a p^Amiano falls Cra^Gshing to the ground

[Outro]

^AmI'm bre^Caking th^Grough, I'm b^Dsus2ending s^Ampoons I'm ke^Ceping fl^Gowers in full b^Amloom I'm lo^Coking for an^Gswers from the g^Dreat b^Ceyond

^AmI'm bre^Caking th^Grough, I'm b^Dsus2ending s^Ampoons I'm ke^Ceping fl^Gowers in full b^Amloom I'm lo^Coking for an^Gswers from the great An^Cswers from the great An^Cswers

^AmI'm bre^Caking th^Grough, I'm b^Dsus2ending s^Ampoons I'm ke^Ceping fl^Gowers in full b^Amloom I'm lo^Coking for an^Gswers from the g^Dreat b^Ceyond

^AmI'm bre^Caking th^Grough, I'm b^Dsus2ending s^Ampoons I'm ke^Ceping fl^Gowers in full b^Amloom I'm lo^Coking for an^Gswers from the great An^Cswers from the great An^Cswers ^Em
