Has the sweet breeze blown

Has all kindness gone

Hope still lingers on

[Pre-Chorus 1]

A

I drink myself a new found pity

Sittin’ alone in New York City

      G

And I don’t know why

[Verse 2]

Are we listening

Hymns of offering

Have we eyes to see 

Love is gathering

[Pre-Chorus 2]

A

All the words that I’ve been reading

Have now started the act of bleeding

G

Into one, into one

[Chorus]

D                  A

So I walk upon high

                      G

And I step to the edge

             Dsus2(h)D Dsus4 D Dsus2(h)D  <--h = hammer-on

To see my world below

                       A

And I laugh at myself

                     C

As the tears roll down

                          G

Cuz it’s the world I know

Oh it’s the world I know
