Verse:
Cm Cm7 Ab
Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
Cm Cm7 Ab
In a world of magnets and miracles
Cm Cm7 Ab
Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
Cm Cm7 Ab
The ringing of the division bell had begun
Ab Bb G7
Along the long road and on down the causeway
Ab Bb G7
Do they still meet there by the cut.
Cm Cm7 Ab
There was a ragged band who followed in our footsteps
Cm Cm7 Ab
Running before times took our dreams away
Cm Cm7 Ab
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
Cm Cm7 Ab
To a life consumed by slow decay
Chorus 1:
Ab Cm Gm Ab Bb
The grass was greener
Cm Eb Fm Ab
The light was brighter
Cm Gm Ab Bb
When friends surrounded
Cm Eb Fm
The nights of wonder
Verse:
Cm Cm7 Ab
Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
Cm Cm7 Ab
To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
Cm Cm7 Ab
Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
Cm Cm7 Ab
Dragged by the force of some sleeping tide
Ab Bb G7
At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
Ab Bb G7
We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world

Verse:
Cm Cm7 Ab
Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
Cm Cm7 Ab
There's a hunger still unsatisfied
Cm Cm7 Ab
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
Cm Cm7 Ab
Though down this road I've been so many times
Chorus 2:
Ab Cm Gm Ab Bb
The grass was greener
Cm Eb Fm Ab
The light was brighter
Cm Gm Ab Bb
The taste was sweeter
Cm Eb Fm Ab
The nights of wonder
Cm Gm Ab Bb
With friends surrounded
Cm Eb Fm Ab
The dawn mist glowing
Cm Gm Ab Bb
The water flowing
Cm Eb Fm Ab
The endless river
Forever and ever...
(Lap steel solo)
