[Verse]
Cm Cm7 Ab
Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
Cm Cm7 Ab
In a world of magnets and miracles
Cm Cm7 Ab
Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
Cm Cm7 Ab
The ringing of the division bell had begun
[Post-Verse]
Ab/C Bb/Ab G7sus4 G7
Along the long road and on down the causeway
Ab/C Bb/Ab G7sus4 G
Do they still meet there by the cut?
[Verse]
Cm Cm7 Ab
There was a ragged band who followed in our footsteps
Cm Cm7 Ab
Running before time took our dreams away
Cm Cm7 Ab
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
Cm Cm7 Ab
To a life consumed by slow decay....
[Chorus]
Cm Gm Ab Bb
The grass was greener...
Cm D Eb Fm Gm Ab
The light was brighter...
Cm Gm Ab Bb
When friends surrounded...
Cm D Eb Fm Gm Ab
The nights of wonder...
[Verse]
Cm Cm7 Ab
Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
Cm Cm7 Ab
To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
Cm Cm7 Ab
Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
Cm Cm7 Ab
Dragged by the force of some inner tide
[Post-Verse]
Ab/C Bb/Ab G7sus4 G7
At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
Ab/C Bb/Ab G7sus4 G
We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world
[Instrumental Break]

G7sus4 Cm Cm7 Ab Cm Cm7 Ab
[Verse]
Cm Cm7 Ab
Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
Cm Cm7 Ab
There's a hunger still unsatisfied
Cm Cm7 Ab
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
Cm Cm7 Ab
Go down this road I've been so many times...
[Chorus]
Cm Gm Ab Bb
The grass was greener...
Cm D Eb Fm Gm Ab
The light was brighter...
Cm Gm Ab Bb
The taste was sweeter...
Cm D Eb Fm Gm Ab
The nights of wonder...
Cm Gm Ab Bb
With friends surrounded...
Cm D Eb Fm Gm Ab
The dawn mist glowing...
Cm Gm Ab Bb
The water flowing...
Cm D Eb Fm Gm Ab
The endless river...
Cm Gm Ab Bb
Forever and ever...
