Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Well your eyes just haven't
been [G]the same, [D]Joseph
Are you bad at dealing with [G]the fame,
[Bm]Joseph
There's [A]a pale moon[G]shine,
[D]above [A]you
Do you [D]see both sides,
[Bm]do they [G]shove you, around
[A]

[Verse 2]
[G]Is the [D]touchstone forcing you to [G]hide,
[D]Joseph
Are the rumors eating you [G]alive,
[Bm]Joseph

[Verse 3]
When the [A]holy [G]night is [D]upon [A]you
Will you [D]do what's [Bm]right,
the posi[G]tion is yours
[A]

[Verse 4]
[Am]From [F]the temple [Bb]walls to
[F]the New York [Bb]night
Our [F]de cision[Am]s res[C]t on a chi[Bb]ld
When she [F]took her [Bb]stand
Did she [F]hold your [Bb]hand
Will your [F]faith stand [C]still or run [Bb]away

[Interlude 1]
Run away
[F][D][G][D]
[G][Bm]

[Verse 5]
When [D]they've driven you so [G]far
That [D]you think you're gonna drop
Do you wish you were [G]back there
at [Bm]the carpenter shop

[Verse 6]
With [A]the plane and the [G]lathe
The work [D]never drove you [A]mad
You're [D]a maker, a creat[Bm]or
Not [G]just somebody's dad
[A]

[Verse 7]
From [F]the temple [Bb]walls to
[F]the New York [Bb]night
Our [F]de cisions [C]rest on a [Bb]man
When I take the stand
When [F]I take the [Bb]stand
Will he [F]hold my [Bb]hand
Will [F]my faith stand [C]still or run away
[Bb](Run away)

[Verse 8]
[D]And [G]the desert
It's [A]a hell of a place
to find [D]heaven[Bm]
[G]Forty years lost in the [A]wilderness
looking for [Bm]God
And [G]you climb to the top
of the moun[A]tain
Looking down [D]on the city[A]
Where [E]you were [G]born

[Verse 9]
[G](On the years since you left gave you
[A]time to sit back [D]and reflect)

[Verse 10]
Better [G]you than [D]me
[A](better you [D]than me)
Better [G]you than [D]me
[A]Yes

[Verse 11]
Well the [D]Holy [G]night is [D]upon you (better you than me,
better [A]you than [D]me)
Do you see both [G]sides,
do they [D]shove you, around
[A]

[Verse 12]
[D]
Better you [G]than me,
[D]Joseph [A](better you than me)
Better [D]you than [G]me
[D]Joseph, [A]Joseph, [D]Joseph, [G]Joseph
Than [D]me
Better [A]you than [D]me
Better [G]you than me (better y[D]ou,
better [A]you, better you)

[Verse 13]
Than me
[D]Well your eyes just haven?t
been the same, Joseph
