*A Thousand Years* (Lord)

I'm walking through my contradictions
Gmaj6 Fmaj7
to where my knowledge bends
Gmaj6 Fmaj7 A
I've gone beyond a scope I comprehend.
Gmaj6 Fmaj7
I've seen the different sublimations
Gmaj6 Fmaj7
I've seen the fluid forms
Gmaj6 Fmaj7 A
But you must leave yourself to keep these visions warm.

You'll know it in a different language,
Csus2 Asus2
in the different styles
Csus2 Dsus4add9 Asus4
A thousand years and a thousand miles.
Gmaj6 Fmaj7
The wrong questions made us claustrophobic
Gmaj6 Fmaj7
with half the spectrum drained
Gmaj6 Fmaj7 A
Old metaphors continued unexplained.
Gmaj6 Fmaj7
Blank messages were too repeated
Gmaj6 Fmaj7
and pulled the ceilings near
Gmaj6 Fmaj7 A
The present called too loud for us to hear.
Csus2 Asus2
But you'll feel it in a different knowledge,
Csus2 Asus2
in a little while
Csus2 Dsus4add9 Asus4
A thousand years and a thousand miles.

There are places with a second meaning,
D E7
other ways and times
D E7 Fmaj7
Wider mirrors showing deeper hills to climb.
D E7
There's another that has never seen this
D E7
but they'll know us well
D E7 Fmaj7 G
Their horizons leave an endless trail to tell.
Csus2 Asus2
And you'll hear it in a different feeling,
Csus2 Asus2
from the current trials
Csus2 Dsus4add9 Asus4
A thousand years and a thousand miles.
