more than |G/B| truth |C| because |D| truth it had lied
all its life when it spoke to |G| you? |G/B - C - D|  

And |Em| what did it say it is that it is this
this |D| goes |C| here, here is there, it is |D| not yes it is

your eyes |G/B| they were |C| bound
have you |D| ever my friends
been looking around? |G| - |G/B - C - D|  
 
And the |Em| other replies with a wave of a hand 
|D| I am |C| already here in this |D| promised land

Have you |C| ever been so |D| happy that you're sad?
that the|G| lights turn to stars
and the |C| stars become eyes
and he-|D| llo's are goodbye's
and the laughs are the sigh's and the show disappears with the note
'until next 

|C| time'...|D| Long live |G| living
if |C| living can be |D| this
|C| (Long) |D| Long live |G| living
