(Intro: Em, D, C, G (2x))

     Em                   D                     C
Well we went out past the city limits trying to get a better 
         G
point of view
Em               D                 C               G
You were staring hard at me, I was staring back at you
    Em                   D               C                G 
And you said I was being secretive, said yes may be you're right
                Em                   D              C
But if there is logic in any of this madness you'll find it in 
   G
my eyes

       Em       D        C                 G
And be good, be kind, be truthful and feel free
    Em               D           C  G
And keep your wholly loving eyes on me


     Em               D              C                G
I've got a history of questions, the truth I can only feel
Em                     D               C                 G
What matters to me the most is what is there and what is real
         Em                    D         C                     
We could start by shaking each other and talk about something 
G
else
      Em                     D                          C
And I know in the end we can get to the point and we can go and 
         G
get some rest

       Em       D        C                 G
And be good, be kind, be truthful and feel free
    Em               D           C  G
And keep your wholly loving eyes on me

         Em              D                C              G
Is it not written in the music, is it not painted in the skies
            Em                      D                 C
It's time we stopped talking about soft drinks started talking 
          G
about our lives
         Em              D                  C 
There are answers in the music and there are answers in the 
G
words
                Em           D                    C
And if we stopped talking in circles we might get closer to the 
G
earth
       Em       D        C                 G
And be good, be kind, be truthful and feel free
    Em              D            C  G
And keep your wholly loving eyes on me

(Ending: Em, D, C, G, Am7, D)
