 Beyond the horizon
       Lab/Do
of the place we lived when we were young
Dom            Dom7            Lab/Do
 In a world of magnets and miracles
Dom                   Dom7              Lab/Do
 Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
    Dom            Dom7                Lab/Do
The ringing of the division bell had begun
Lab/Do     Sib/Lab       Sol4        Sol
 Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway
Lab/Do         Sib/Lab           Sol4  Sol
 Do they still meet there by the Cut

Dom          Dom7             Lab/Do
 There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps
Dom                Dom7              Lab/Do
Running before time took our dreams away
Dom          Dom7
 Leaving the myriad small creatures
Lab/Do
trying to tie us to the ground
Dom           Dom7            Lab/Do
 To a life consumed by slow decay

              Dom     Solm  Lab9 Sib
The grass was greener
              Dom     Mib  Fam  Lab
The light was brighter
                Dom     Solm  Lab9 Sib
With friends surrounded
              Dom    Mib  Fam  Sol
The nights of wonder

Dom                 Dom7      Lab/Do
 Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
Dom              Dom7                    Lab/Do
 To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
Dom          Dom7         Lab/Do
 Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
Dom             Dom7                Lab/Do
 Dragged by the force of some inner tide
Lab/Do       Sib/Lab       Sol4          Sol
 At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
Lab/Do          Sib/Lab               Sol4        Sol
 We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world

 Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
Dom      Dom7  Lab/Do
 There's a hunger still unsatisfied
Dom        Dom7     Lab/Do
 Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
       Dom       Dom7     Lab/Do
Though down this road we've been so many times

The grass was greener

The light was brighter
                Dom     Solm  Lab9 Sib
With friends surrounded
              Dom    Mib  Fam  Sol
The nights of wonder
                Dom     Solm  Lab9  Sib
With friends surrounded
              Dom     Mib  Fam  Lab
The dawn mist glowing
          Dom    Solm  Lab9  Sib
The water flowing
            Dom   Mib  Fam  Lab
The endless river
            Dom  Solm  Lab9  Sib
Forever and ever
