A       Eb      A
A thousand powdered parts
Eb
Past the sun and moon
A                               Eb
The hint of timelessness splashed
Eb
On this afternoon


[Chorus]
E               D       F
And they tell me I'm inside
E               D       F
When I run and when I hide
G               A
I want to touch you


[Verse]
A
I think my courage must
Eb
Never leave this room
A
It's like the history that
Eb
Hides in the monsoon


[Chorus]
E D     F       C       F
And they tell me I'm alive
E       D       F
But when I lean into a dive
G               C
I want to touch you


[Verse]
C                               A
At home they think we must be fools
A                       G
The sky or street, they're both as cruel
G               F
When you're running low on fuel
G                       C
And I ran out books ago
C                       A
Last night I overheard your prayers
A                       G
It's emptiness that scares
G               F
Or disappearing in thin air
F                       G
To a lost place down below


[Verse]
A
Once upon a time
Eb
In a distant land
A
I felt the rising sun
Eb
Focused through my hand
E       D               F
And they tell me I'm so changed
E               D       F
But if I ever was the same
G
I want to touch you
C                               A
And although they think we must be fools
A                       G
It’s as both stupid as is cruel
G               F       G
When you’re running low on fuel
G               C
And I ran out books ago
C               A
And I overheard your prayers
A                       G
It’s emptiness that scares
G               F       G
Disappearing in thin air
A                       Eb
To a nice place down the road


[Solo]
A  Eb   A Eb


[Verse]
A       Eb
The action
A               Eb
Action calls me away
A       Eb
The action
A               Eb
Action calls me away
A       Eb
The action
A               Eb
Action calls me away


[Solo]
E       D       A       E       D       A

A               Eb
You’ll never know

A               Eb      A       Eb      D
F       E       D       F       G


[Chorus]
C                                       A
And although they think we must be fools
A                       G
It’s as both stupid as is cruel
G                       F       G
When you’re running low on fuel
G               C
And I ran out books ago
C               A
Last night I overheard your prayers
A                       G
It’s emptiness that scares
G               F       G
Disappearing in thin air
A                       Eb
To a lost place down below
C               A
But I overheard your prayers
A                       G
It’s emptiness that scares
G               F       G
Disappearing in thin air
A                       Eb
To a lost place down below
