E          Abm7                Gbm7 
Some may say The choice is ours

             B                            E 
Others seek advice while starin at the stars

                   Abm7                   
Others fold their hands and pray and wait

            Gbm7                      B
Hoping that one momentous day Their heaven will await

E                           Abm7
And those who hope through microscopes each day

Gbm7                             B
Say they know the answer but its only theory

E        Abm7           Gbm7
Was our fate set in stone

B(stop)(slide)      E
A thousand years ago

  Abm7    Gbm7    B                  E  
................. A thousand years ago 

  Abm7    Gbm7    B                  E  
................. A thousand years ago

  Abm7    Gbm7    B                 
MMMhhh  MMhhh    




E                    Abm7                                 Gbm7
There exists a girl halfway round the world who looks as lost as

                        B
lost could be Who looks 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

                 E
And though she's 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                Abm7                   Gbm7
But is he really there to listen to her prayers

                   B (play out then stop)
Or is he from a story

                   E
A thousand years ago

  Abm7    Gbm7    B                


(bridge)
A                             Ab
     What do you believe is true

                                A
in a world that's filled with lies

                      Ab
And who do you think painted the pictures 

                           A
that became our morning skies

                      Ab
Do you even think at all or are just another

F#
Materialistic fool or skeptic Who counts their 

                                E
money just to see if they're alive


Abm7                  Gbm7        B
uh huh  And are you alive




I havent got the next part i'll call it the interldue since i used bridge already.
