//// //// //// //

E                 A                     B
You were dreamin' on a park bench by the broad highway somewhere

E                   A                    B
When music from the carilon it seemed to hurl your heart out there

E                   A                                 B 
Past the scientific darkness, past the fireflies that float

E            A                                      B
To an angel bending down to wrap you in her warmest coat

CHORUS 


Abm7
And you ask, "What am I not doing?" 

F#maj7
She says, "Your voice cannot command." 

B7sus4
She says, "In time, you will move mountains, 

B7                     E
and it will co-------ome through your hands."

E                A              B
Still you argue for an option, still you angle for your case

E                A              B
Like you wouldn't know a burnin' bush if it blew up in your face

E                A              B
Yeah, we scheme about the future as we dream about the past
E                A              B
When just a simple reachin' out might build a bridge that lasts

CHORUS, 

then:
BREAK:  G F#maj7        Emin7 A7Sus4 A7 

//// //// //// //// //// //// //// ////


Yeeaahhh eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

E                A              B
So whatever your hands find to do, go on and do it with all your heart

E                A              B
There are thoughts enough to blow men's minds and tear great worlds apart

E                A              B
There's a healin' touch to find you out on that broad highway somewhere

E                A              B
To lift you high like music flyin through the angel's hair.

Abm7
Don't ask what you are not doing

F#maj7 
Because your voice cannot command

B7sus4
You see, in time, we will move mountains

B7
And it will come        through -- 

--no chord-------- E    A    B    E    A    B 
Right through your hands.       ////    ////    //

E                A              B
Through your hands //// //// //

E         A (slow & fade on A, then end on E) 
Through your haaannnnddss....
