INTRO:   D   A   G   A  (x4)

VERSE 1:
D            A          G          A
I have these moments so steady and strong,
    D          A        G        A
I'm feeling so holy and humble.
    D            A            G           A
The next thing I know I'm all worried and weak
      D           A           G         A  G  A  G
And I feel myself starting to crumble.
Bm                        E7
Meanings get lost and the teachings get tossed
    G                            D
You don't know what you're gonna do next
    Bm                      E
You wait for the sun but it never quite comes.
G                          E7
Some kind of message comes through to you.
G                          A       Asus4  A
Some kind of message comes through,          and it says to you

CHORUS:
D             A    G            A
Love when you can, cry when you have to.
D          A              G           A
Be who you must, that's a part of the plan.
D            A          G         A
Await your arrival with simple survival.
    Bm                  E7
And one day we'll all understand,
G                   E
One day we'll all understand,
G                   E         A Asus4 A   A Asus4 A
One day we'll all understand.

VERSE 2:
I had a woman who gave me her soul,
But I wasn't ready to take it.
Her heart was so fragile and heavy to hold
And I was afraid I might break it.
Your conscience awakes and you see your mistakes,
And you wish someone would buy your confessions.
The days miss their mark and the night gets so dark.
And some kind of message comes through to you,
Some kind of  message shoots through,   and it says to you

CHORUS:

SOLO: (chorus chords)

VERSE 3:
There is no Eden or heavenly gate
That you're gonna make it to one day.
All of the answers you seek can be found
In the dreams that you dream ah-ah-ah-ah-along the way.
