_ [B] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
I hear sounds above [F#] the shuffling of my feet _ _ [E] As I make my [B] way down [E] a strange familiar street
_ _ _ _ The holy sound of families, [F#] their dinners on the [F#] wind
[E] Will I ever be able [B] to sit at that [E] table _ again?
_ I did [A] not want to be [B] _
[E] here, _ [A] where [B] the future is in [E] store
But my name [F#m] is on the mailbox, _ [E] _ _ [A] and [B] my key fits in the door
_ [E] Living _ _ in this present tense [F#] is the best that I can do
_ [E] It's clear that I am [F#] supposed to be [C#m] _ here _ [B] on bright [E] avenue _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
Hope that hides in [F#] darkness, healing under pain
_ _ [E] Rose is asleep [B] in the winter, but [E] the spring will come again _ _ _ _ _
Time is set in motion, by [F#] design and by my do
_ [E] One foot in front [B] of the other, here on [E] bright avenue
_ _ _ Questions [F#m] with no answers, [E] _ _ [A] and [B] the distance in [E] between
_ All my wishful [B] thinking, _ [E] _ _ [A] and [B] the fool that I have _ been
[E] I _ cannot reinvent _ myself, [F#] to suit everybody's view
_ _ But I can see there are [B] plans for me [C#m] here _
_ [B] Here on bright [E] avenue, _ _ _ _ _ here on bright avenue
_ [B] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
Those who sow in tears [F#] will reap in joy somehow
_ And [E] surely I [B] am watering [E] my fields of future now
_ My _ _ feet will walk a golden street, [C#] and when all is said and done
[F#] _ _ [E] I will be found [B] on holy ground, [E] as a good and faithful son
_ Walking [F#m] toward a _ [B] _
[E] promise, _ [A] _ [B] that frees this convict [E] heart
The Lord will [A] never lose _ [E] me, _ [A] and [B] he can finish what he _ starts
[E] When _ I least expect it, [B] I believe [F#] these things are true
It's [E] as if to say I [B] am on my way [C#m] to you _
Here on bright avenue, [E] _ _ _
_ here on bright avenue
[B] Oh, _ [C#] here on bright [E] avenue, _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ here on bright [E] avenue _ _ _
