Intro: Gm / Eb F / Bb F Bb F Gm F Bb F Bb F
Do you ever look aGmround
turn your ear to the ground
show your fEbace to the sky
on a Fnight when the skies echo souBbnds
from inside of your mind
on the staFge that you shone
where the sun didBb become yoGmu F
and mGmove with your thoughts
through the sighs and the scenes
of the woFrlds you have seen
and the sights that have been
your refBblection in shadows and dreams? F
- your reflection in shadows and dreams Bb F
Did you ever see a mGman
who did walk down the street
Ebwhite robe with no sFhoes on his feet
and on tBbop of his head place a box with two slits
and the siFgn from his neck said
'I do not exist'
Bb / F
or a wFoman who could not remember her name
did sEbtutter and stutter
Fagain and again
and sBbaw you and called you her son
her eyes said
'my bFeing is gone
but still I'm not dead'?

Have you ever seen a Gmsound
have you listened to an image
have you Ebever touched a thought
have you Fever tasted nothing
have you Bbever told a lie
that was true more than truth
because Ftruth it had lied
all its life when it spoke to yBbou? Gm F
And Gmwhat did it say
it is that it is this
this goes Ebhere here is there
it is not yes it is
it was Gmdulling your senses
your eyes they were bound
have you Fever my friends
been looking around?E6 F
And the otGher replies
with a wave of a hand
I am alEbready here
in this promFised land
but nBbot by a god and not by a king
and nFot by a spirit
Bbdeep from within F
I am heGmre
because a miracle's a whim
it's a flFash of glory
it's an empty tin
and mEbaybe might lets you in
Bb F Bb
not to saFve you
but to keep on looking-

EbHave you ever
been so hFappy that you're sad?
that the liBbghts turn to stars
and the sEbtars become eyes
and heFllos are goodbyes
and the laughs are the sighs
and the show disappears with the note
'until next tEbime'
FLong live lBbiving
if liEbving can be tFhis
