(intro 8x) G5 A5

G5    A5     G5           A5
Stay here, stay in the moment
G5           A5           G5            A5
  Where the blooming of spring never ends
G5       A5  G5           A5
  Let's go down by the willow tree
G5               A5              G5          A5
  Roll with the hills 'till we make our ascent
G5      A5          G5          A5
All I imagined is all that I see
G5          A5           G5           A5
Gardens of flowers and warm summer breeze
G5           A5              G5          A5
  There's a place where no trouble is seen
G5            A5
Everything's perfect
         F5          G5            Eb5          Bb5
But it's all just a dream that I have when I sleep
          C#5          G#5    G#5   B5
Through a winter that never ends

( C#5 E5 C#5 E5 ) (x2)

C#5 E5     C#5       E5
  Open,   open your eyes to
C#5            E5            C#5         E5
    A world of all that can sadden your heart
C#5 E5      C#5         E5
  Color    absent from all I see
C#5           E5            C5                G5
    Skies are grey and the streetlights are dark
C5         G5          C5         G5
Lost in a sea of sad faces and hearts who claim
Bb5           F5
Eye for eye, tooth for tooth
     G#5          Eb5
With words far beyond reproof
F#5            C#5        C#5    E5 C#5 E5 C#5 E5 C#5 Eb5
    Still I remain unconvinced

F#5       G#5          A5               B5
All these years, we've hoped and we've dreamed
      F#5     G#5       A5      B5
For a final escape, but to no avail
F#5   G#5         A5        B5          F#5      G#5
All I hear... the infinite buzzing of vanity's lips
        A5             B5        C#5 E5 C#5 E5 C#5 E5 C#5 E5
Forming words for the eager in ear

C#5           E5     C#5        E5            C#5
    There's a man reciting the words of his god
     E5            C#5     E5
In a room full of pliable hearts
C#5          E5     C#5          E5
    And each word, teaming with fire
   C#5       E5             C5         G5
Consumes any reason that's lingering near
C5     G5            C5            G5
Every word will precede a great cheer
    Bb5             F5             G#5        Eb5
To affirm that the problem could never lie here
    F#5          C#5          C#5    E5 C#5 E5 C#5 E5 C#5 Eb5
And on goes the shifting of blame

F#5       G#5          A5               B5
All these years, we've hoped and we've dreamed
      F#5     G#5       A5      B5
For a final escape, but to no avail
F#5   G#5         A5        B5          F#5      G#5
All I hear... the infinite buzzing of vanity's lips
        A5             B5        E5 B5 D5 A5 E5 B5 D5 A5 (sax solo)
Forming words for the eager in ear

E5                            B5
   What I wouldn't give to go back to that place
D5                                 A5
   Just to feel the warmth of the sun shining down on my face
E5                    B5
   The smell of young roses in bloom
D5                                  A5                E5 B5 D5 A5 E5 B5 D5 A5 (solo)
   I'd gladly spend the rest of my days in that afternoon

E5      F#5     G5        A5          E5
I can't bear to look at another sad face
        F#5  G5            A5
In this town riddled with fear
E5         F#5         G5          A5
Close your eyes, we'll make our escape
          E5            F#5
Shake the dust off your feet
        G5            A5      G5
Dry the last of your bitter tears.
