[Ab] A thousand years, a thousand more, [Abm] a thousand times, a million [B] more, it's [Ab] too much to ask.
I've lived a [Ebm] thousand [Ab] lives, a thousand [Abm] times, an endless tour, a stairway clashed to a timer [Ab] of souls.
Producing another [Ebm] thousand years, a thousand more as [Abm] the towers rise to make their last floors [Fm] in space.
I've seen [Db] another million tears, a million laughs, [Abm] a million years, but only one true, [Bb] true face.
[Eb]
A million years, a million years, a million [Abm] suns, trillion days [Ab] I've not seen today.
I speak [Ebm] a million lies, a million songs, [Abm] a million rights, a million wrongs [Ab] in this palace of time.
And there was [Ebm] a single truth, a single light, [Abm] a single thought, a single [Fm] touch of grace.
A form [Db] in a single point, a single frame, [Abm] a single haunted memory of [Ab] your face.
[Eb] I still [Abm] love [Ab] you.
[Db]
[Abm] I [Eb] still [Abm] want [Fm] you.
[Gb] A thousand years, a [B] thousand times, a thousand galaxies [Ab] in my head.
[Ebm] [Gb]
[B]
[Ebm] I may be low-life, I may [B] be innocent.
[F] I may know many things.
I may be ignorant.
[Ebm] Or I could ride with [Abm] kings [B] who conquered many lands
[Ab] Or win this world of cards and let it slip my hands
[Ebm] I could be cannon food, [Abm] destroyed a thousand [Fm] times
Reborn as fortune's child to judge another's [Db] crimes
[Gb] Or have this pilgrim's [Abm] cloak, a million-collar thief
[Eb] I've kept this single faith I have but one belief
I still [Abm] love [Ab] you
[Db]
[Abm] [Eb] I still [Abm] want to love [Fm] you
[Bbm] [Gb] As the times and mysteries [B] unfold themselves like galaxies [Bb] in the blue
On [Abm] and on the mysteries away themselves, eternity's [Gb] still unseen [Bbm] today
