I drew my line a (F)cross

the (C)sand,

and (G)set my flag in (Am)no

man’s

land.

I’ve But (Em)here I am, the (F)one

but man

band (C)fess,

with a (G)song that’s meant for (Am)more.

(C)two.

And there is a light

from a high

er (Am)win dow

shin ing down on you to night;

and the mu sic floats on the breeze,

bring ing an eas

i er

time.

And (C)all of our cards

are on

the (Am)ta ble;

Just don’t tell me

that it’s too late for (G)me

to love you.

How per fect we were (F)meant

to (C)be,

our (G)warm and si lent (Am)sym

Oh, and I have flown a thou sand miles to (C)emp ty rooms and crowd ed aisles.

And (Am)we went from ca the dral bells to (Gsus)show and tell and (G)wish you wells.
