[Intro 1]
[Am][C][F]
[Am][C][F]
[Am][C][F]
[Am][C][F]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Beyond the horizon[C]
of the [F]place we lived when we were young
[Am]In a world of magn[C]ets and miracles[F]
[Am]Our thoughts strayed const[C]antly
and with[F]out boundary
The [Am]ringing of the divi[C]sion bell had be[F]gun

[Verse 2]
[Am]Along the Long[G] Road
and [Am]on down the Causew[E]ay
[Am]Do they still meet[G] there by the Cut[Am][E]

[Verse 3]
[Am]There was a ragged b[C]and
that [F]followed in our footsteps
[Am]Running before [C]times
took our dreams a[F]way
[Am]Leaving the myri[C]ad small creatures
[F]trying to tie us to the ground
[Am]To a life consumed[C] by slow decay[F]

[Chorus 1]
The grass was [Am]greener[C]
[F][G]
The light was [Am]brighter[C]
[Dm][F]
When friends sur[Am]rounded[C]
[F][G]
The nights of [Am]wonder[C]
[Dm][E]

[Verse 4]
[Am]Looking beyond the ember[C]s
of brid[F]ges glowing behind us
[Am]To a glimpse of how [C]green
it was on the [F]other side
[Am]Steps taken forw[C]ards
but [F]sleepwalking back again
[Am]The Dragged by the f[C]orce
of some inner [F]tide

[Verse 5]
[Am]At a higher alti[G]tude
with [Am]flag [E]unfurled
[Am]We reached the dizzy h[G]eights
of that [Am]dreamed of [E]world

[Interlude 2]
[Am][C][F]
[Am][C][F]

[Verse 6]
[Am]Encumbered forever[C]
by de[F]sire and ambition
[Am]There's a hunger still[C] unsat[F]isfied
[Am]Our weary eyes[C] still stray[F] to the horizon
Though [Am]down this road
we've [C]been so many [F]times

[Chorus 2]
The grass was [Am]greener[C]
[F][G]
The light was [Am]brighter[C]
[Dm][F]
The taste was [Am]sweeter[C]
[F][G]
The nights of [Am]wonder[C]
[Dm][F]
With friends sur[Am]rounded[C]
[F][G]
The dawn mist [Am]glowing[C]
[Dm][F]
The water [Am]flowing[C]
[F][G]
The endless [Am]river[C]
[Dm][F]
