The song itself is called the key and basically it's a metaphor [D#] for
[N]
Natural things to come into play Like
[G#m] As natural as physical and is it in this is the key?
So [G] I'll just play a few [E] and [A#] then
[Bm]
Somewhere
[D] [B]
[F#m] [D]
[Em] [D]
[A]
[D] there [G] is a key
[D] This place [G] behind the golden tree
[D] to open [G] even me [D] before [Em] the last [D] fires [A] glove
Somewhere there [G] is a door
[D] [F#m] Did it's closed [G] forevermore
[D]
The every little thing [G] we [D] swore
[F#m]
[Em] [D] Allegiance [G] to
[D] [A] Just between [Bm] me and [A] you
[D] [G]
[F#m] [Em] [D]
[A]
[D] [A] Somewhere there [G] is a place
[D] [F#m] Where I don't [D] [G] go to face to face
[D] with the whole human [G] race
[D] before [Em] the last [D] [A] shadows fall
[D] Somewhere [G] there is no time
[D] [F#m] Common [D] ground and [G] a free ride
[D] We will all pay [G] the fine [D]
a Shakespeare [Em] line
[A] To be or not to be
Just [D] between you and me
[G]
[F#m] [Em] [D]

[D] [G]
[D] [F#m]
[G] [F#m] [Em]
[D] [A]
[Bm]
[A] [D] [G] [F#m]
[Em] [D] [A]
Somewhere [G] there's a chance
[D]
[F#m] [D] No escape [G] a travel dance
[D] [F#m] Where no one [D] takes [G] the [F#m] trance [D] a [Em] global [D] glance [Em] that freedom's clean
[A]
Somewhere there [G] is no life [D] truth [G] and beauty still [D] survive
every day of [G] our [D] lives before [Em] the
[D] last [A] shadows go
