[E]Some may sa[Abm7]y The choice is ours[Gbm7]
Others seek a[B]dvice while starin at the sta[E]rs
Others fold their h[Abm7]ands and pray and wait
Hoping that [Gbm7]one momentous day Their he[B]aven will await
[E]And those who hope through m[Abm7]icroscopes each day
[Gbm7]Say they know the answer but its [B]only theory
[E]Was our f[Abm7]ate set in ston[Gbm7]e
B(stop)(slide) E
A thousand years ago
..[Abm7]........[Gbm7]....... [B]A thousand years ag[E]o

MM[Abm7]Mhhh MM[Gbm7]hhh [B]
[E]There exists a girl h[Abm7]alfway round the world who looks as l[Gbm7]ost as
lost could be Who looks [B]exhausted just like me
E Abm7 Gbm7 B (stop)
And she's been losing sleep over thoughts too deep to consume
As she stares at the ceiling of her room
And though she's [E]trying so hard to make some sense about
[Abm7]Every little thing and each event that
[Gbm7]Comes her way and now she's praying
[B]Up into the sky where her god is waiting
[E]But is he really [Abm7]there to listen to her [Gbm7]prayers
B (play out then stop)
Or is he from a story
A thousand years ag[E]o
[Abm7] [Gbm7] [B]
(bridge)
[A] What do you believe is tr[Ab]ue
in a world that's filled with li[A]es
And who do you think p[Ab]ainted the pictures
that became our morning ski[A]es
Do you even think at a[Ab]ll or are just another
[F#]Materialistic fool or skeptic Who counts their
money just to see if they're ali[E]ve
[Abm7]uh huh And are you al[Gbm7]ive[B]
I havent got the next part i'll call it the interldue since i used bridge already.
Its starts off:
E E? Then some kind of A and slide to some kind of B
I think... (good Luck)
