INTRO: Am
F C ~
It's an unfinished life that I find lies before me
An [Em]open-ended dream and [F]I don't want to [G]wake
Am F C ~
I've crossed so many rivers in search of crystal fountains
Em F C ~
I've found the truest paths always lead through mountains
I've seen [G]water on the sky, and [Em]fire burning on the [Am]lake[G-F]
CHORUS:
You said to [C]me, 'I [F]cannot make you [C]happy,
~ Em F G
Like a wounded bird, you must find the strength to fly,
Am F C ~
Time can paint the treetops with colours of the rainbow,
But you [Em]cannot find the end, no [G]matter how you [F]try'[Am]
F C ~
It's a journey with my soul that I am taking
[Em]One that only goes from the [F]cradle to the [G]grave[Am]
F C ~
Going 'round in circles like painted dancing horses
Em F C ~
Up and down we ride on the wooden courses
And [G]light from a lover's eyes[Em] is all that I can [Am]save[G-F]
CHORUS:
You said to [C]me, 'I [F]cannot make you [C]happy,
~ Em F G
Like a wounded bird, you must find the strength to fly,
Am F C ~

But you [Em]cannot find the end, no [G]matter how you [F]try'
INSTRUMENTAL: G-Am F C ~ Em F G Am F C ~ Em F C ~ G Em Am
F C ~
So I'll take the day and run out across the open fields
[Em]Where the grass grows high[F] and the shadows [G]fall[Am]
F C ~
Where my eyes can see all the colours in the air
Em F C ~
So quiet that the wind whistles in my hair
And [G]takes the rising dust[Em] and carries it a[Am]way[G-F]
