Intro : Bm - A - G (x 2, leave hi 'e' open for these chords)
Bm A G
Must have been, Mid afternoon.
Bm A G
I could tell, by how far,
(stay on G)
the child's shadow stretched out and.
Bm A G
He, walked with a purpose,
(stay on G)
In his sneakers, Down the street he had.
Bm A G (quiet)
Ma-ny questions, Like children often do.
(still no chord)
He said,
D E G
"Tell me all your thoughts on God"
D E G Bm
"Tell me am I very far?"
Bm A G
Must have been, Late afternoon.
Bm A G
On our way, The sun broke free of the clouds.
Bm A G
We, count only blue cars,
(stay on G)
Skip the cracks, In the street and ask,
Bm A G (quiet)
Ma-ny questions, Like children often do
(no chord)
We said,
D E G ....
"Tell me all your thoughts on God
'Cuz I would really like to meet her.
And ask her why we're who we are.
Tell me all your thoughts on God,
Cause I am on my way to see her.
So tell me am I very, far
Am I very far now ? "
( guitar solo over the D - E - G chorus progression)
It's getting cold, Picked up the pace.
How our shoes, Make hard noises in this place.
Our, clothes are stained,
We pass many, Cross-eyed people and ask,
Ma-ny questions, Like children often do.
"Tell me all your thoughts on God ?
'Cuz I would really like to meet her.
And ask her why we're who we are.
Tell me all your thoughts on God ?
'Cause I am on my way to see her.
So tell me am I very, far ?
Am I very far now ?, Am I very far now ?,
Am I very far now ?
