A Thousand Years

D#mA thousand years, a thousand more,

A BM7thousand times a million doors to Bbm7/D#eternity

I may have lived a D#mthousand lives, a thousand times

An BM7endless turning stairway climbs

To a Bbm7/D#tower of souls

If it takes another D#mthousand years, a thousand wars,

TheBM7 towers rise to numberless floors in Bbm7/D#space

I could shed another D#mmillion tears, a million breaths,

A BM7million names but only one truth to Bb/D#face

D#mA million roads, a million fears

ABM7 million suns, ten million years of Bbm7/D#uncertainty

I could speak a D#mmillion lies, a million songs,

A BM7million rights, a million wrongs in this Bbm7/D#balance of time

But if there was a D#msingle truth, a single light

A BM7single thought, a singular Bbm7/D#touch of grace

Then following this D#msingle point , this single flame,

The BM7single haunted memory of your Bb/D#face

I D#still BM7love Bbm7you

I D#/Gstill BM7/Gwant Bbm7you

A F#thousand times the mysteriesBM7 unfold themselves

LikeBbm7 galaxies in my head

D#m7I may be numberless, I may be innocent

C#7/D#I may know many things, I may be ignorant

D#m7Or I could ride with kings and conquer many lands

C#7/D#Or win this world at cards and let it slip my hands

D#m7I could be cannon food, BM7destroyed a thousand times

C#7/D#Reborn as fortune's child to judge another's crimes

D#m7Or wear this pilgrim's cloak, BM7or be a common thief

I've Bb7kept this single faith, I have but one belief

I D#still BM7love Bbm7you

I D#/Gstill BM7/Gwant Bbm7you

A F#thousand times the mysteriesBM7 unfold themselves

LikeBbm7 galaxies in my head

On and on the mysteries unwind themselves

Eternities still unsaid

'Til you love me
