Bm                       G
A sudden shock, a sudden leap
Bm                              G
Floating then flying through the night
D                              A
Would I really want to leave forever?
Bm                          G
Mysteries grow few and far between
Bm                          G
And in the end there's only one
D                            A
The smallest clue would be a revelation

[Chorus]
D                            A
When I was young I longed to know
A                    G
What lies beyond the veil
B                     A
If my mind could only see it
D                        A
But as I come closer it whispers
A                G
I don't want to tell
B                  A          G
The things that it says in my dreams

[Verse 2]
Bm                           G
Excitement turns to fear and dread
Bm                          G
Something I prayed for once denied
D                                     A
So many times I thought this was what I wanted
Bm                                  G
Now it's here, I don't know what to think
Bm                           G
This isn't how I thought I'd feel
D                               A
The decades now seem a fleeting moment

[Chorus]
D                            A
When I was young I longed to know
A                    G
What lies beyond the veil
B                     A
If my mind could only see it
D                        A
But as I come closer it whispers
A                G
I don't want to tell
B                  A          G
The things that it says in my dreams

[Solo]
Bm  G  Bm  G    A

[Chorus]
D                            A
When I was young I longed to know
A                    G
What lies beyond the veil
B                     A
If my mind could only see it
D                        A
But as I come closer it whispers
A                G
I don't want to tell
B                   A
The things that it says...

[Outro]
D                            A
When I was young I longed to know
A                    G
What lies beyond the veil
B                     A
If my mind could only see it
D                        A
But as I come closer it whispers
A                G
I don't want to tell
B                 A           G
The things that it says in my dreams
B                              A
The things that I think I can't say
