       D (xx0232@1)                        GWell (320003@1)I looked into a house I once lived in
           D (xx0232@1)                     BmAround (x24432@1)the time I first went on my own
         A (x02220@1)           G (320003@1)                      DWhen (xx0232@1)the roads were as many as the places I had dreamed of
       A (x02220@1)                GAnd (320003@1)my friends and I were one
        D (xx0232@1)         A/C# (042220@1)       C (x32010@1)          G/BNow (143121@7)the distance is done and the search has begun
             D (xx0232@1)            G (320003@1)           D (xx0232@1)     AI've (x02220@1)come to see where my beginnings have gone

       D (xx0232@1)                              GOh (320003@1)the walls and the windows were still standing
        D (xx0232@1)                         BmAnd (x24432@1)the music could be heard at the door
          A (x02220@1)        G (320003@1)                   DWhere (xx0232@1)the people who kindly endured my odd questions
         A (x02220@1)         GAsked (320003@1)if I came very far
            D (xx0232@1)       A/C# (042220@1)     C (x32010@1)     G/BAnd (143121@7)when my silence replied they took me inside
            D (xx0232@1)          G (320003@1)            D (xx0232@1)     D7Where (xx0212@1)their children sat playing on the floor

        G (320003@1)          D (xx0232@1)                G (320003@1)             DWell (xx0232@1)we spoke of the changes that would find us farther on
       G (320003@1)        D (xx0232@1)         AAnd (x02220@1)it left me so warm and so high
         G (320003@1)             D (xx0232@1)         G (320003@1)          DBut (xx0232@1)as I stepped back outside to the grey morning sun
             F#m (244222@1)   Bm (x24432@1)        Em/AI (002000@1)heard that highway whisper and sigh
        G (320003@1)      G/AAre (320203@1)you ready to fly?

      D (xx0232@1)                       GAnd (320003@1)I looked into the faces all passing by
        D (xx0232@1)                      BmIt's (x24432@1)an ocean that will never be filled
        A (x02220@1)              G (320003@1)               DAnd (xx0232@1)the house that grows older and finally crumbles
          A (x02220@1)           G (320003@1)That even love cannot rebuild
       D (xx0232@1)      A/C# (042220@1)       C (x32010@1)       G/BIt's (143121@7)a hotel at best, you're here as a guest
           D (xx0232@1)                                AYou (x02220@1)oughta make yourself at home while you're waiting for the rest

       G (320003@1)                      DWell (xx0232@1)I looked into dream of the millions
     G (320003@1)                        DThat (xx0232@1)one day the search will be through
Bm (x24432@1)                    F#m (244222@1)                   Em/ANow (002000@1)here I stand at the edge of my embattled illusions
             G (320003@1)  G/ALooking (320203@1)into you

    D (xx0232@1)                        GThe (320003@1)great song traveler passed through here
        D (xx0232@1)                  BmAnd (x24432@1)he opened my eyes to the view
    A (x02220@1)     G (320003@1)                        DAnd (xx0232@1)I was among those who called him a prophet
    A (x02220@1)                  GAnd (320003@1)I asked him what was true
          D (xx0232@1)          A/C# (042220@1)        C (x32010@1)           G/BUntil (143121@7)the distance had shown how the road remains alone
        D (xx0232@1)                      ANow (x02220@1)I'm looking in my life for a truth that is my own

       G (320003@1)                        DWell (xx0232@1)I looked into the sky for my anthem
        G (320003@1)                      DAnd (xx0232@1)the words and the music came through
Bm (x24432@1)                    F#m (244222@1)                       Em/ABut (002000@1)words and music can never touch the beauty that I've seen
                G (320003@1)                   
Looking into you - and that's true
