Well I Dlooked into a house I once Glived in
Around the Dtime I first went on my Bmown
When the Aroads were as Gmany as the places I had Ddreamed of
And my Afriends and I were Gone
Now the Ddistance is A/C#done and the Csearch has beG/Bgun
I've come to Dsee where my beGginnings have DgoneA  
Oh the Dwalls and the windows were still Gstanding
And the Dmusic could be heard at the Bmdoor
Where the Apeople who Gkindly endured my odd Dquestions
Asked if AI came very Gfar
And when my Dsilence reA/C#plied they Ctook me G/Binside
Where their Dchildren sat Gplaying on the DfloorD7  
Well we Gspoke of the Dchanges that would Gfind us farther Don
And it Gleft me so Dwarm and so Ahigh
But as I Gstepped back outDside to the Ggrey morning Dsun
I heard that F#mhighway Bmwhisper and Em/Asigh
Are you Gready to G/Afly?
And I Dlooked into the faces all Gpassing by
It's an Docean that will never be Bmfilled
And the Ahouse that grows Golder and finally Dcrumbles
That even Alove cannot reGbuild
It's a Dhotel at A/C#best, you're Chere as a G/Bguest
You oughta Dmake yourself at home while you're Awaiting for the rest
Well I Glooked into dream of the Dmillions
That Gone day the search will be Dthrough
BmNow here I stand at the F#medge of my embattled illEm/Ausions
Looking into GyouG/A

The Dgreat song traveler passed Gthrough here
And he oDpened my eyes to the Bmview
And AI was amGong those who called him a Dprophet
And AI asked him what was Gtrue
Until the Ddistance had A/C#shown how the Croad remains aG/Blone
Now I'm Dlooking in my life for a Atruth that is my own
Well I Glooked into the sky for my Danthem
And the Gwords and the music came Dthrough
BmBut words and music can F#mnever touch the beauty that Em/AI've seen
Looking into you G- and that’s true

D G

Well I looked into a house I once lived in

D Bm

Around the time I first went on my own

A G D

When the roads were as many as the places I had dreamed of

A G

And my friends and I were one

D A/C# C G/B

Now the distance is done and the search has begun

D G D A

I've come to see where my beginnings have gone

D G

Oh the walls and the windows were still standing

D Bm

And the music could be heard at the door

A G D

Where the people who kindly endured my odd questions

A G

Asked if I came very far

D A/C# C G/B

And when my silence replied they took me inside

D G D D7

Where their children sat playing on the floor

G D G D

Well we spoke of the changes that would find us farther on

G D A

And it left me so warm and so high

G D G D

But as I stepped back outside to the grey morning sun

F#m Bm Em/A

I heard that highway whisper and sigh

G G/A

Are you ready to fly?

D G

And I looked into the faces all passing by

D Bm

It's an ocean that will never be filled

A G D

And the house that grows older and finally crumbles

A G

That even love cannot rebuild

D A/C# C G/B

It's a hotel at best, you're here as a guest

D A

You oughta make yourself at home while you're waiting for the rest

Well I looked into dream of the millions

That one day the search will be through

Now here I stand at the edge of my embattled illusions

The great song traveler passed through here

D Bm

And he opened my eyes to the view

A G D

And I was among those who called him a prophet

A G

And I asked him what was true

D A/C# C G/B

Until the distance had shown how the road remains alone

D A

Now I'm looking in my life for a truth that is my own

G D

Well I looked into the sky for my anthem

G D

And the words and the music came through

Bm F#m Em/A

But words and music can never touch the beauty that I've seen

Looking into you - and that’s true
