Capo: Fret 4
Intro G Dm
ooh ooh.. ooh ooh..
F C
ooh ooh.. ooh ooh..
G
i see the distant smoke
across the waterway
Dm
i'd swim a thousand miles
just to hear you say
F
the words that never come
when you need them most
C
to dry your eyes out..
G
is it your mother's tongue?
or your father's ghosts?
Dm
remember stick and stones
and how they broke your bones
F
pain is how you learn
boy, you learned a lot
C
when they hit you in the face
and you begged them all to stop
G
until you rose.. up again..
Dm
and you tried your best to surrender
F
bowed down.. your head..
C
then you looked up to the sky and said
Chorus
G
"my God.. what a beautiful scene
Dm
now i know what You mean
wanna stay here forever
F
God.. what a beautiful scene
C
now i know what you mean
You're my gateway to heaven.."
Int. G Dm F C..
G
from underneath the dust
you see the curtain call
Dm
can't bare to watch another
generation stall
F
to the hands of greed
that will take it all
C
and cut your heart out..
G
see the face.. in the shadow..
Dm
just a thread.. in the seams..
F
we'll be ghosts.. by tomorrow..
C
just to a day.. in a dream..
G
but you'll rise.. up again..
Dm
and you'll fight against the surrender
F
my friends.. don't wait..
C
just look up to the sky and say
