[A]
[D]
[A]
[D]
[A] If I ventured in [D] the slipstream, [A]
between the void [D] ducts of your dream,
[A]
Where [D] mobile steel rims crack, [A]
and the dead sender [D] back road stop,
[A]
Could [F#m] you find me?
[A]
Would [F#m] you kiss my [A] eyes, [F#m] lay me down?
[A] [F#m] The silence is the ache [A] to be born again, [D] to
[A] be born again.
[D]
[A] From the far [D] side of the ocean,
[A] if I put [D] the wheels in motion,
[A] Then I stand with my [D] arms behind me, [A]
and I'm [D] pushing out the door,
[A]
Could [F#m] you find me?
[A]
Would [F#m] you kiss my [A] eyes, lay [F#m] me down?
[A]
The [F#] silence is the ache to [A] be born again, [D]
[A] to be born again.
[D]
There [A] you go, [D]
[A] standing with the look of Everest,
[D]
Talking to [A] Hitler and Redman, [D]
[A] showing pictures on the wall,
[D]
[A] Whispering in the hall, [D]
and pointing a [A] finger at me.
[D]
[A] There you go, [D]
[A]
[D] standing in the sand, [A] darling,
With [D] your arms behind [A] you, and your [D]
eyes before,
[A]
[D]
[A] There you go, [D]
taking care of [A] your boy,
[D]
Seeing [A] that he's got clean clothes, [D]
putting [A] on his leatherette shoes,
[D]
[A] Seeing that he's got clean clothes, [D]
[A] putting on his leatherette shoes,
[D]
Pointing a finger [A] at me.
[D]
There [A]
you [D]
go, standing in [A] your side room, [D]
trying [A] to do my best,
[D]
[A]
Looking straight [D] at you,
[A]
[D] coming through, darling.
[A]
[D] Yeah, yeah, yeah, [A] yeah, yeah, [D] yeah, yeah, [A] yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[D]
[A]
If I ventured in [D] the slipstream, [A]
I'd treat it [D] like the five knots of your dream,
[A]
Where a [D] movie of steel rims crack, [A] and the ditch in the back [D] road stop,
[A] Could you [F#m] find me?
[A]
Would you [F#m] kiss my eyes [A]
and lay [F#m] me down [A]
in [F#m] silent season,
[A] To be born again, [D]
[A] to be born again, [D]
to be [A] born again, [D] to [A] be born again.
[D]
[Am]
[D]
In [A] another world, darling, [D]
[A]
in another [D] world,
[A]
in [D] another time,
[A]
[D]
Got a home [A] on high, [D]
ain't nothing but a [A] stranger in this world,
[D]
I'm nothing but a stranger in this [A] world,
[D]
I got a [A] home on high, [D]
in [A] another land,
[D]
So far [A] away, [D]
so far [A] away, [D]
we up in the heaven, [A]
[Dm]
we up in [A] the heaven,
[Dm]
[A] We up in the heaven, [D]
we [A] up
[D]
[A]

time, [A]
in another [D]
place,

We [A] up in the heaven, [D] we [A]
up in the heaven, we up in the heaven,
In another time, in another place, in another time, in another place, [D]
